Just saw this on Premier Guitar online http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazine/I ... tions.aspx and the claim of a "new" Comanche Studio VI has me very intrigued. Can anyone confirm or deny this claim. IF confirmed when is it planned for release and any differences to the new version?
This article seems to go a ways back as it refers to "coming" F-100 an SC-2 but the Comanche VI has yet to be launched, any inside info that can be shared?
It's been for sale since 2007, I see guitar adoptions has one listed.
All this talk recently of Comanche VI's reminds me I have to give mine some playing time.

Hi Sam,
It was a Custom Creations Special Build in 2007. Here's the link to it in the G&L main website: Comanche Studio VI. 100 were built in the first (and only, so far) run. We also have a listing for it in the G&L Production List in the G&L Knowledgebase.
Does anyone know if 100 were actually built? I ask mainly because Guitar Adoptions now has two in clear red finish, which obviously they custom ordered (neither honeyburst nor tobacco burst are these). I assume that in '07, G&L made 100 (or so) Comanche Studio VI pickguard/pup arrays for the planned run. Seems less likely and more costly that they would make just a few arrays now for a special order/non-standard color such as Guitar Adoptions did. Plus, I never saw that many Studio 6s listed at dealers (though I assume some went overseas)---I don't even recall Buffalo Bros. offering one (though they would order if asked, 'cause I asked!). WOndering if maybe all 100 planned were never ordered, thus not built. So a dealer now could order one in a different color and see if they sell. Just curious!

BTW, nice Jerry/Wolf/Champ pic, Sam!
I'll see if I can find out.
Stay tuned.
Yeah I bought one of those Clear Red Studio VI from Guitar Adoptions and now there's also a Clear Red one for sale at www.oklahomavintageguitar.com They've got it listed as 'one of a kind' since only 100 were made and none were to have been that color. So how many were made in Red?
Can anyone confirm or deny this claim. IF confirmed when is it planned for release and any differences to the new version?
