I was there the day it and a red sparkle one came in. Both were extremely cool and the first any of us had seen of the Fallouts. Really nice guitar

Margarita Metallic is a great color.

Did you receive it already or did you find that picture on the dealer page?

After reading your post earlier I went over to The Seattle Guitar Store webpage to look at it but I only saw one picture.

I actually found the pic on here in a Fallout Thread from TheGuitarStore. It is the exact guitar I ordered, but I wont have it until about week from Tuesday. Cannot wait! I actually sold my Vintage F-100 and ended up grabbing this. I like switched gear around, but something is telling me this one will be a keeper! I love the over-the-top look. :luv:

This guitar will be up for sale or trade tonight. Not my cup of tea at all. Great service from the Guitar shop, just can`t take the radius or frets. Not for me ;(

Sorry to hear that you didn't like it.

Did this one come with the standard #1 neck and jumbo frets?

What had you been accustomed to?

That's too bad about the Fallout. Aside from how the neck felt, what did you think of the tone?

Any idea what will be taking the fallout's place?

Tone was amazing. If sound was it, I would probably rank this at best electric setup. I have been playing on a vintage radius/ vintage fret G&L f-100 series 2 before this one, but I play a tone of usa strats at work. Though that shifting over to something more modern would be fun, but I think I jumped tooo far too fast on this. Build wise 10/10, and Im sure if you like more modern setups it would be a home run. cant say a single bad thing about the guitar, but my beat up hands are not meant for it.

I'm right there with you. The newest G&Ls I've been comfortable on are a '98 ASAT Classic and a '99 L-1500. Most of mine are from '86 or earlier.
