Hey G&L, I have a 2014 asat Classic American, after buying an OLS blues boy with the 1-11/6 nut width
Can I buy a new neck for my classic with that width? Would it fit on a classic that has 1-5/8?
G&L Musical Instruments Our repairs department repairs@glguitars.com provides that service, ensuing a good fit.
I think it starts at 500 before additional neck options like finish, binding etc.

This wunkay was born here in the factory on April 8, 1981, in my favorite combo of Sunburst on mahogany and that slick ebony board.
Some of you know exactly what’s up with that. Anyway, sad story was that original neck went south a while ago.
I guess the owner heard the factory is making L-1000s again in the early style. That’s what lead to me taking these pics of the bass with a
replacement neck made with (I believe) Caribbean Rosewood fingerboard and vintage tint satin finish. Yes, it was made for the original 3-bolt
and the fit is super clean to the original neck pocket.
So one hand, there’s a sad story of a beautiful L-1000 with a dead neck and out of the game. No matter that sucks. But as a consolation,
it just got a beautiful new neck, bringing it back to life at the place it’s life began 37 years ago. I just completely dig that this repair job came
about because of the existence of the new CLFR L-1000s. If the customer sees this, thank you for the opportunity. : )

‘cause we’re gonna build a brand new neck for Project El Toro.
