It's difficult to contain my excitement! Just scored a candy Lemon F-100 signed by Dale Hyatt & George Fullerton on the back of the headstock! Pictures coming soon!

While we wait for Gary (aka Josey Wales) to post photos of "his" Candy Lemon F-100 (including one showing the hand signed signatures),
I will post a stand-in photo of one which used to be owned by Brad Traweek, which we have in the Gallery.

Hey Gary-Show us what you got, we are all waiting. :searching:
Oh, and don't forget to add it to our G&L Registry, too.

newbie q: so this F-100 is passive as there is no battery compartment on the back? or does the battery go elsewhere?

also, that is a beauty!
An old F-100 Series II. The wooden glossy one.
An old SB-1. The sunburst one.
