I'm a big fan of Rosewood myself. I bought this guitar from a guy at work for $800...he gave me all of the original paperwork, the cutsheet of all the parts he ordered for it as well as the COA that Phyllis signs for the American made G&Ls.

The guy wasn't hurting for money, but wanted to get enough money to purchase his wife an iPad. I definitely got it for a steal and I've been creaming over G&Ls for years.

Also, on my Tele, you can't really tell with the pictures, but you can also see the woodgrain through that finish as well.

I love that style of blonde, too, with the tinted maple board...the grain shows through, but the photo didn't pick that up.

here is another blonde, although not g&l, made by chris clem. that is natural wear, not "reliced".
the discoloration on the arm contour is from my arm, the white spot in the middle of it is the paint wearing through.

12-13 years? it has been my main number 1 that whole time. one of my friend has a '54 white strat and when he played mine he said he'd have a hard time to pick which one he'd want.

i bought it used, it had a little wear, but nothing like it is now. a very thin nitro finish though, so it gas a lot of the hairline cracks in the finish, and it chips along those cracks.

actually that pickguard started white as did the guitar. you can see the white spot between the middle pup and the switch, that is where i rest my pinky when i play. the pickup covers are aged white from a set of sd antiquities.
