How about OLS option for the " S Type " guitars ??

The place to discuss, post photos, video, and audio of the G&L products (US instruments, stomp boxes, etc.) produced after 1991, including the amps & gear we use with them.

I forwarded your post to some contacts at G&L and will post the reply.

For those who are wondering what the OLS (body depth) was for the early G&L "S Type" bodies, it was 1 5/8" depth. This was changed in the late 90's to 1 3/4" depth.
However, the George Fullerton Signature Model (1995-2007) retained the 1 5/8" body depth.

Stay tuned.

Just heard back from Spencer Brown:
Hi Craig,

The S-type bodies are a little slimmer, about 1.700” but to go down to OLS we’d need to shorten the tremolo blocks. So not available at this time.

Thanks,

Spencer
