G&L does tops right

If this were Fender it would be a Custom Shop guitar for double the price. This popped up on the Bay but had to post it since it's one hell of a beautiful, book matched top. And this from a guy who doesn't care for flames or quilt. nice rosewood board too. on a somewhat related note Gibson is pushing "baked maple," "obeche," and something called "Richlite" on their under 2k LP, SG's, and others. nice to know G&L is staying with quality components and woods.

I saw that and if she had a maple fretboard I'd be very tempted,
good job G&L folks!

To even bump the value up more this is a guitar owned by a Minnesotan. Uff Da, It is a sweet one.-- Darwin

Yowza! I'm usually not much for flamed or quilted tops either but is one fine looking guitar. Looks so 3-D deep you could practically dive into it.

My own lefty S500 Deluxe in cherry burst.

Over the top ?

You bet !

And as a lefty I'm very glad that G&L make all the finishes available to lefty players.

Cap is over the top only in the literal sense. That is gorgeous. It is very contained for a potentially nuclear flashy finish.

Okay, I have to show one for the Lowenders. It is not a lefty!-- Darwin

A beauty as well.

Is that Cherryburst also?

I wonder what one of those pups would sound like on a high-ender if the pole number and locations were not an issue..

MGM, it is a Cherryburst. These pickups are sure awesome in a bass!-- Darwin

hahaha Obeche, what will they think of next?

Gimme rosewood or maple anyday.

Not one for flaming tops but those are some majorly fantastic examples.

i like the baked maple that suhr and anderson uses on necks. i also like the improved neck joint. i really hope g&l will make an improved neck joint an option, to make upper fret access easier, it should not be difficult to do with the cnc.
