LMAO! The LE-2 is a take off on the Fallout. We were able to modify a G&L to GbL specs before it was even released! How cool is that?!

I wonder if it will bring the price of the GbL LE2 down at all as the machining will be semi set up for it....?

The Fallout is not simply a code alteration of the SC-2. They had to start from scratch to make the fallout because of how the SC was originally programmed.
They actually threw in ADDITIONAL machining, fixturing, and CNC programming so we can make the LE-2.
The LE-2 has a dual fulcrum bridge (Fallout does not have it). I've also been told that the overall high of the DF is lower on this model and the neck pocket is deeper, giving the whole thing a better feel compared to a DF equipped SC-2- which has a "stuck-on" appearance.
The LE-2 has unique pickup routes for neck and bridge.
The LE-2 has a unique pick guard that is not swappable between the two models.
So, really they are subsidizing the development of the LE-2 with the development of the Fallout.
No to mention that the LE-2 will be the first limited edition G&L to feature a roasted maple neck.

I like very much this model, the sound should be great!
Is the "Fallout" a new model? Which is the price?

The Roasted Maple neck is not a standard option on any model. You should
check with your dealer and see if they can special order it. The ones on the
prototypes were just trials and AFAIK G&L has not added them as an option.

I'm very impressed with the new designs and pickup options. The Fallout looks very interesting. I've been lurking on other manufacturers forums, and there are people very angry over the direction other companies are going in. Seems to me like G&L is very focused right now.
And the Superhawk! I will be the first in line for the Deluxe Blueburst model! I'm digging the Superhawk with the saddle lock bridge!

We went back and forth about the route, and in the end we decided to leave it there. Some owners may want to end up
with a two pickup guitar so we've left them the option. It was a compromise, really. We'd prefer to have left the wood in
there to continue the mass from the heel to the boxed bridge and pickup, but thoughts of long term ownership swayed us.

It is a slimmed down version of the large mid-'80s headstock as on SC-2/Rampage/Superhawk etc. It is not derived from the ASAT at all.

Hi Jamie,
I checked with Dave about this. Here's what he said:We went back and forth about the route, and in the end we decided to leave it there. Some owners may want to end up

Hope this helps.
