I know G&L has been experimenting with new finishes in their Tribute line and this one is really appealing to me. Not sure if I should just jump on this one if it's this limited.

No, they just changed the finish offered with the latest Price List. See: August 1, 2017-present Tribute Series Production Models.goatofballstreet wrote:https://reverb.com/item/6808296-g-l-tribute-comanche-custom-1-of-23-made-free-300-upgrades-2017-vintage-white

Note that the G&L main website has not been updated to reflect the current Price List yet.
Hope this helps.

Re: Limited Run Tribute Comanche?
Awesome I was about to buy but I'll just wait. My brother works for a big box guitar store and can get me a very decent price. This was going to be the spec Comanche I was going to order but I'll take a Tribute version with my tight budget.

Re: Limited Run Tribute Comanche?
I noticed that some of the guitars are listed as "Olympic White" and others "Vintage White". Any idea if G&L is doing various shades of this finish or they both one in the sameCraig wrote:No, they just changed the finish offered with the latest Price List.

Re: Limited Run Tribute Comanche?
A few summers back now, up here in Winnipeg, Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen) was rediscovered by a local radio station, and the song received a revival of airplay that was quite welcome in the first weeks of that summer, but became grating by the end of summer having been grossly over-played. It's taken me these several years to be able to listen to it again without cringing.
In the same way, I think five years of producing black-only-finished Tribute Comanches has soured me to a black finish on a Comanche (Tribute or otherwise). It has the odor of stagnation, or worse, ...neglect.
Here is hoping we don't have to sit through five years of white Tribute Comanches. I love the brand enough to care.

Re: Limited Run Tribute Comanche?
Totally agree ^^. Seems like most brands revamp their budget lines on a more frequent basis.

Re: Limited Run Tribute Comanche?
The Squier lines have done a good job at rotating the colours, always made me wish the tribute line had done more iconic colours especially between the s500, comanche, and legacy all sharing the same body. I wouldn't even mind if all three guitars shared many of the same colours. I'd love a Comanche in the Lake Placid Blue or Legacy they did.

Yes they are the same color. I confirmed that with one of my G&L contacts.goatofballstreet wrote:I noticed that some of the guitars are listed as "Olympic White" and others "Vintage White".
