I'm looking to order a new custom build SC-2, and I had a question about some specs that my local G&L dealer was unable to answer definitively:
1. Can I order an SC-2 with a slim C neck?
2. Is it possible to get black body binding on a silver metal flake finish? (Only seeing wood-color binding available in some places.)
Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Re: SC-2 Order
From G&L's website, "* SC-2, Fallout and F-100 have no neck profile options available at this time"
I'm assuming the neck is the Classic C. This is the profile most G&L fans associate with the post 2000 era. 1 5/8” nut width, slight edge roll, medium taper from 0.830” to 0.960”. It starts off fairly slim and gets beefier up the neck. These specs were part of the #1 neck. Currently the G&L website list the neck as #1.
As for the binding, from the USA Guitar Options:
Top Bound White ORDER CODE: TBW
Double Bound White ORDER CODE: DBW
White body binding not available with Alpine White, Blonde, Himalayan Blue, Sonic Blue, Pearl White, Vintage White.
Top Bound Black ORDER CODE: TBB
Double Bound Black ORDER CODE: DBB
Black body binding not available with 3-Tone Sunburst, 2-Tone Sunburst, Blackburst, Blueburst, Greenburst, Redburst, Jet Black, Tobacco Sunburst.
So you should be able to get black binding on Silver Flake.
You may want to hurry, according to G&L's Facebook page the SC-2 and F-100 are going ot be taking so time off.
Hope this helps. Cheers, Dan
