You guys have been busy...wow.
The 5-string with tobacco burst and wood binding looks exceptional.

I was also stricken by the colors. They are beautiful. Speaking of the Boosta Grande, I happened to see some BBE pedals in a store last week and they have change the graphics to a much more appealing look. Good job BBE.-- Darwin

Another batch of stellar instruments. If given a choice to pick just one as a fave, I would be unable to do so without changing my mind in 5 minutes. They have quality oozing out of the photos.

These factory photos are becoming my favorite part of this forum. A real stroke of genius to post them. Just when I think any latent GAS has dispersed , here comes some more great pictures. A fine way to keep the G&L fires burning. Looking forward to some factory Fallout photos, they will only make me purchase one sooner.

I spent a lot of time looking at all of those necks before I got down to your post and read this. :) I wonder where my tinted neck would fall in that lighting using that camera. It is closer to the one at the front left.

I would like to special order something close to the Savannah concept so I could get an ebony fretboard.

Lemondrop: You don't see many plain top lemondrop G&L's. The lemondrops I have seen have been flame tops or quilt tops. Whomever ordered that one, private request or dealer, has excellent taste. I almost bought a lemondrop last week but it had sold by the time I decided between it and a different guitar.
