How about OLS option for the " S Type " guitars ??
knock some weight off and give much better upper fret access at the same time with the OLS like my 1984 Cavalier ...Any chance this can happen Craig ??

I forwarded your post to some contacts at G&L and will post the reply.Fumble fingers wrote:knock some weight off and give much better upper fret access at the same time with the OLS like my 1984 Cavalier ...Any chance this can happen Craig ??
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.

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
