Hi Craig,
We decided to go without a model decal on Doheny. The headstock is kind of a shortened and reworked version of the mid '80s style and it looked so clean without a model name we made the decision to leave it off.
As for the pickups in the store, I imagine that will happen though probably not very soon. If I had to guess, I'd say spring.
Thanks a lot, Craig!

Some players (I am one of them) like to keep it simple. Yeah, some guys like a 3 piece suit, and others prefer to leave the vest at home. Sure the vest is well made and comfy - but that's not enough to make them wear it when that ain't their thing.
EDIT: That being said, if I am not mistaken, this looks like a traditional bridge on this beautiful 3 tone sunburst
The G&L Saddle-Lock bridge is an optional bridge. I believe mutts is referring to the FMIC Jazzmaster tremolo bridge as the "traditional bridge".

I'd like to see G&L get a branded Mastery or something similar.

I prefer a slim C neck with a 7" radius to fit my smaller hands. Will there be neck options in the future?

We were told that this model will have all available USA model neck and body options. You should be able to order the neck of your choosing. I'd ask your dealer to confirm, or pick another dealer.
The current neck for the Doheny is the Modern Classic.
The customer can specify the radius but, other neck shapes
are not available at the moment.
The default neck on the Doheny falls under the slim C category.
I’d recommend having the customer call a dealer to get details.

Hi Craig,
This much I’m sure is not available. That may change as you know, but right now there’s no intention of a Bigsby on a Doheny.
Thanks again, Craig.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Does the Slim C category encompass more than the Modern Classic shape? Can they share the neck thickness measurements at the nut & the 12th string for the Doheny? Thanks!
Modern Classic - 1 11/16” nut width with 1 5/8” string spacing allows a generous edge roll for superb comfort without string fall-off.
Fairly slim with mild taper from 0.820” at 1st fret to 0.870” at the 12th fret.
Slim C - 1 5/8” nut width, slight edge roll, mild taper from 0.820” to 0.870”. These specs were part of the #1a neck.
