Re: G&L George Fullerton in Nitro Blonde
I have doubts that the finish is nitro since all factory built George Fullterton Signature models had Poly finish. They were discontinued in 2007.
The Rustic models (Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish) were first released in 2009.
You've got a great looking GF signature model. That Blonde finish is one of my favorite solid colors from G&L.

Agree about the look of this GFS and Blonde is one of my favorites as well.Craig wrote:...You've got a great looking GF signature model. That Blonde finish is one of my favorite solid colors from G&L.

just stamp some pics out of that pickguard and that guitar will be killer. really looks good. put on a mint or white pickguard and it will kill.

Re: G&L George Fullerton in Nitro Blonde
Thanks for the info....I was guessing it was nitro because it looks closest to the the current finish on the Legacy Rustic that is nitro blonde. Of course, I didn't know the history.Craig wrote:I have doubts that the finish is nitro since all factory built George Fullterton Signature models had Poly finish. They were discontinued in 2007.

Haha....Louis, you really are a pick guard hater! You'll be real disappointed in the bluesboy I ordered (same pick guard!)

Re: G&L George Fullerton in Nitro Blonde
Yes, Tortoise Shell and White Pearloid are a problem for Louis.
I have the same thing with Tobacco Sunburst. My first electric guitar (almost 40 years ago) was a Hondo in Tobacco Sunburst. Man, that thing was really unplayable. But that was all I could afford at the time, and I played it for years. That color still brings back bad feelings. Recently I bought as Tobacco Sunburst Z-3, because it's a great guitar in every way, and I thought I would grow over it, but I still don't like it.

Of course, if you notice in my profile pic, I removed the pick guard from that guitar!

I never would have imagined removing the pickguard from an S type guitar would make it look so much like a Gibson 335 type.GuitLvr wrote:Of course, if you notice in my profile pic, I removed the pick guard from that guitar!

I'm not a big pick guard fan but I thick this looks great with the rosewood and TS. I'm thinking maybe some creme pickup covers and knobs might look hot.
