Oooooo!!! Mako Blue! Is this a new color or are we being teased by another color we can't have?

As mentioned in the post:
This NAMM show Doheny has a finish being developed for G&L Custom Shop.

So, it will be a Custom Shop only finish.

This was posted on G&L's Custom Shop facebook page:

Reposting from the main G&L page. This is a finish we’re working on for Custom Shop and the prototype body got built out in the factory and displayed at NAMM.
So, while not a full CS build, we think you guys will dig it. What do you think of this finish intended for quilt tops?

These quilted tops are killing me... always wanted one and you are only adding to my GAS.

That one is a beauty and will make someone very happy for sure.

Keep up the great work folks! :happy0065:

Ok cool thanks Craig. I didn't mean to sound nasty with my original post. I really dig that color especially with the quilted top. Can you tell us if other CS colors will be available?

Yes, when I hear or read about it on the G&L Custom Shop facebook page, I will post any new CS colors which are available.
I'm sure you've see the first one I posted about: Custom Shop L-2000 body in Dragonskin Blue.

Also check out the new G&L Custom Shop Spec and Options post for the currently available finishes: Feb. 1, 2018-present Custom Shop Specifications & Options.
