hey Gasman, welcome.

nice Fallout with a Leo sig (didn't know these came with the sig), and love the fullerton red!

check out http://guitarsbyleo.com/FORUM/viewtopic ... 47&t=10449

it'll bring you up to speed on how the site works and how to post photos.

hints: there are size limits (no more than 1020 pixels in largest dimension) and the pic needs to be resized and saved on the imgur server before you post it here.

Here is your photo posted using the timage BBcode, which allows you to resize, so that it will be no larger than 1024 pix x 1300 pix (in this case it is 724x978):

It is very unlikely that this Fallout came from the G&L factory with the Leo signature decal. More than likely someone scored an unused left over decal on eBay or Reverb and
applied it over the factory finish. Is the body color Fullerton Red or Rally Red (I'm thinking it's Rally Red)?

Please do add your Fallout to our G&L Registry.

Congrats on your first G&L, it's a beauty!

I have to say it is a very versatile guitar. The coil splitting bridge pickup gives you some Tele Highs and un split some Les Pauly vibes... the neck pickup has that Great P-90 growl. It is a tad heavier than I expected but at my age any thing over 8lbs is a bit heavy. The Lock down bridge is a fantastic design!!! The color is Candy Apple Red one of my Favorites. I bought the guitar new and added a case. But with all my guitars I Hot Rod them a bit to my likening :D

I can see by the Serial Number your guitar is a G&L Tribute Series Fallout made in Indonesia.
The Sperzel locking tuners look great.
Here's your photo in-line:

I will be moving your post over to the G&L Tribute Series Instruments (past and present) forum.

For posting photos, see this post: Tutorial: Posting photos.

And don't forget to add your guitar to our G&L Registry.
