Not so new guy

Wed Jun 11, 2014 9:40 pm

Hello All
Hopefully this works, Been a lurker here occasionally for years but finally decided to make it official. I have quite a few G&Ls in my collection and They are fine instruments. Mine are mostly sparkles from pre 2005, At the time no one was really putting the big flake on guitars other than G&L ,Italia or the occasional fender. It is cool to see that others are now starting to appreciate these sparkly gems and it is high time I get some good pics of mine and get them registered.

Welcome Dan! I've had two large flake G&Ls - a John Jorgenson Signature ASAT I traded last year, and an ASAT Bass. I could never get either of them to photograph well. If you get some good pics, I would love to hear how you do it!

So, where is the pic of you hold a sparkle guitar and wearing the corresponding Lucha Libre mask?

I suspect you are a fan of Los Straightjackets? Or perhaps a member.

they all look good , but I like the blue Z3 and the semi hollow best ..... is that a reflection of another guitar on the pick guard of the semi hollow ??

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, I am not a member of Los straightjackets just a huge fan of all surf music. The guitar showing in the reflection is a Mexican fender Nashville telecaster. ( thank you Jesse Ventura ) I will post more detailed pics of the G & Ls in the porn section in the future.

The more I look at it, the more I like the idea of a Jazz/Jag body with Cav pickups in it. It seems congruent.
