Very nice Comanche and the others are also sweet. I have had the LP and still have several American Deluxe Strats. You will need more room for some other G&Ls as it is hard to just have one! I did see your post on the setup and I do have the WR bridge pickup in a Z-3 and it is hotter. I like it very much. Maybe WR will have a comment. Welcome to the forum. -- Darwin

Welcome and nice collection of guitars !! ..... your Comanche is sweet , I love Comanche's too !! ..... Like Darwin , I had a Will Ray bridge pick up installed in mine and love it , it made the bridge pick up sound so much better and you can use it in position 1 now :) instead of expanded or position 2 only like before

That is a gorgeous Comanche! Congratulations and welcome to the G&L club. You'll soon want another as I do.

I too have a 2012 LP Traditional. Mine is Ice Tea burst.

I really like that honey burst color! I think it looks really nice with the vintage tint neck. Very nice looking guitar you got there. Enjoy it!

Thank you very much for the compliments!

I may check out this Will Ray pick up if you guys think it will give me more drive out of the bridge position.

The Will Ray is very good. Last I looked, they weren't too expensive at the G&L online shop, either.
It can still deliver plenty of bite, but it's much more authoritative and feels good to play.
One caution regarding Z-coils when you have them out of a guitar, or are fitting them: the coils are very close to the inside of the covers, and can get damaged if the covers move around. Handle them carefully until the pickup is in the guitar, and the fixings tightened a bit so everything's held in place. This advice is true for some other types of pickup too, of course, but a Z-coil's the only one I ever damaged accidentally. But once I knew about the risk, I've never had any problem since and I've fitted / removed / changed lots of them.

VERY pretty Comanche you have! Great!

Beautiful Comanche! I love the neck. Actually they're all beautiful guitars.
