Orange Burst?

Post by Nubs »

Any chance G&L would ever do an orange burst color? We got blue burst, green burst, black burst, red burst, honey burst, etc. How about an orange or tangerine burst?

Also, I'm wondering if there will be any color additions for 2016. Craig, any insight or hints? ;)

A burst of the existing Clear Orange might be beautiful.
And Clear Turquoise. Please. Oh please...
I might be unable to avoid having a couple more Asats if they did those.

And they've done Clear Turquoise, on that gorgeous prototype with the native-arts pyrography.

Presumably a similar process to other clear colours? Although I think that proto was satin, and I'm unsure about how it might wear; my satin necks gradually get glossy areas (which I really like).

But the colour, yes please!!

Clear Turquoise might look good over some swamp ash grain.

Guys,

If you want new finishes (or other features), then start lobbying your favorite G&L dealers. The dealer's voices are heard by G&L Sales which in turn drives what the Factory builds.

Fair enough Craig. Thanks for the tips!

So let's start hitting our G&L dealers to request the color orange burst! According to what I'm reading here, if they get enough interest, they will start making it. I am completely willing to purchase an orange burst guitar, provided they make the color. I assume G&L will need much more than just my commitment in order to start with the orange burst finish. Anyone else willing to step up to buy a G&L model in an orange burst?

Just a quick update. I asked the dealer I'm working with (Music Store Live) to request the orange burst color. I'm trying to find out how long it will take to get some type of a response from G&L on it. Any ideas?
