The place to discuss, post photos, video, and audio of the G&L products (US instruments, stomp boxes, etc.) produced after 1991, including the amps & gear we use with them.
...or "How I Wasted Hours with the Online Generator"
I'm about to put an order in for one. What's your opinion - which looks best? The red is Fullerton Red, but could be Candy Apple red too. It looks the same in the generator.
EDIT: And is the DFS upgrade worth it? I was going to go with it, but I think I'd prefer the chromed brass saddles of the standard.

Number two, but with black covers instead of white ones. I love the body shape of the SC-2, but that canted bridge pickup with the square sides has always looked bad to me. Having it blend in with the body color would look better IMO. I really wish G&L would just straighten that pickup out. The guitar would look 100x better if they did.
Not an easy choice... I like your style! Since there is no sparkle option I like the fullerton red followed by the vintage white. If you go red, do the creme covers! The shoreline is a really close 3rd.
I don't think you can go wrong with Black or Shoreline Gold. If you go black, I'd go with a vintage tint neck and maple board and perhaps creme pup covers kind of a nod to the Roger Water's signature strat.
Thanks for the responses guys. I'm pretty keen on the shoreline gold one too, but am not 100% sure about the colour. Here's an image stolen from the Upfront Guitars website of a SLG Legacy, its fairly grey.
It looks subdued until the lights hit it. It is a very warm color once the light hits it. This color was originally a Pontiac color designed for 1959-60 fin cars.
Shoreline gold is a very nice colour... photo's don't do it justice. I have a legacy body in shoreline that I'm saving for a rainy day project. Definitely gets my vote for the SC-2!
..... mine should be here before too long , I ordered a ruby red metallic , matching head stock , black PU's and a DF .... I'm sure glad I got the DF on the SC2 after playing my new legacy a couple weeks , I have never had a guitar with a smooth vibrato like the G & L's

hope we'll have a nice tone report once it's here !
I'm gonna have a nice NGD in a couple of weeks, more informations later on.
cheers, Xavier
We're playing the same gig that all the bra's came from again this weekend - I don't expect the guitar to get here by then though Looking forward to your NGD, Xavier, you choose nice guitars
Latest USPS update - not only has it taken two days to get somewhere only 60 miles from the start line, but it was the wrong place. I'm really hoping it arrives by next weekend, as that's the last gig in the calendar before January
