My Second G&L

Post by waynerd »

Well, it's actually my 3rd but I sold one that needed a lot of work..... Anyhooo. She's a 2005. Play's beautifully but I'm not thrilled with this version of saddles. I'll buy the newer types. She's a closet queen. I can't find any blems on the body (the pickguard is barely scratched) but, there is a small one by the heal of the neck. No one will ever see unless they're inspecting every millimeter like I did. I wanted one that looks classic, simple, and clean. And I think I found that....

Beautiful! Love the creme covers and knobs on the white pickguard. Did the same thing for my George Fullerton Signature.

Congrats!

P.S. This was the counting sequence for me as far as G&L goes: "one, two, many ..." Or as the wife jokingly says at times: "One too many!" You are forewarned ;)

I like the shade of the neck. Goes well with the white. Does the guitar plug seat flush in the jack?

Thanks, everyone! I was a benefactor of serendipity. I was looking on the web for one like this for quite a while with no success. So, I went to the online build your own G&L. Built one just like this and told my wife, "this is the guitar I'm going to order" (from my local G&L dealer). As luck would have it, I found a used (for a lot less) one on ebay the next day. It was destiny, my friends. I'm glad I didn't order a new one because I didn't get a bonus at work I was promised.... Corporate $&&$%%&&!!!!

@ Meowmix... Why do you ask? Is that an issue? I'm curious because I saw someone had to drill out that cavity a bit. I know G&Ls are picky how the jack is place. I usually loosen the nut, insert a plug, rotate the jack until the plug goes all the way in then, tighten the nut.

It is an easy fix. Better than playing around with the nut every time. I am curious how long this has been going on.

Weird. I have never ever ever ever done that. That thought has never entered my mind. I just learned something new.
