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.
So the stars seemed to align for me this past week…. A Long, Long time ago (AKA this spring) when the LE-2 was being finalized, i was really on the fence. I had the $ set aside but was unsure if i was gonna pull the trigger. I spent a bunch of time on the builder and kept coming back to a Z3…. specifically a metal flake w/bigsby. In the end I wound up going with the LE-2 (here's hoping there will be a whole bunch of LE-2 NGD's soon!!!)
Fast forward to the past week when i saw the PSA that Fumble posted…… for the EXACT guitar that i kept building! I put it on my watch list and the rest is history…. I ended up getting a pretty good deal on it, about 1/3 of what it would have cost from my local dealer new (Remember i am Canadian - that 13% tax is a killer )
what a beauty !! ..... that looks better in person , I mean your picts ..... glad you got it !! ...... all that sparkle with Bigsby makes me wish my Buck Owens was here ..... it's cool to see the PSA work as intended ..... I sure like looking and its neat to help someone out from here
Thanks for the replies so far! I will post an updated wall shot when i get her home.....
Fumble - Can't wait to see the buck owens... and thanks again for the PSA
Alf & Jos - Thanks! I see lots of fun being had in the near future Quite a few gigs coming up this holiday season!
Ken - That was part of the perfect timing! The family and I were headed down south and i had the guitar shipped to me in Florida Now I can bring it back without paying the hefty 13% tax!
Darwin - I have been reading all the posts lately about the Will Ray bridge.... Which sounds like it would be a perfect fit for me... I will at least wait til i plug it into my rig at home before i order anything else

What a great guitar!
The Z3 is a really brilliant idea and design, and yours looks super-smart. Fine score!
+ I wholeheartedly agree with Darwin that the WR is a great mod if you feel like more grunt from the back, it's really good.
Well done
Hey Patrick - I'm sure glad you were not in on the mix.... I went as high as i was gonna go.... I still can't believe someone didn't come in and snipe it in the last seconds.
glvourot - i certainly intend to enjoy it for a long time to come
Nick - Thanks..... I was really trying to wait on ordering that pickup.... but i have already been scoping it out on the G&L store!
Edg - Like i said to Pat, I'm glad you tapped out too! That was my last bid..... I am over the moon that I have a chance to enjoy it
