Showcasing a recent new finish: Andromeda ...

Post by Craig »

Originally this finish was apparently a limited edition finish for G&L Premier dealer Tone Shop Guitars in Addison, Texas in 2020.
They ordered several different models with this finish which resembled the standard Galaxy Black finish but with much more colorful "stars" patterns.

Here are a few recent instruments with Andromedia finish sent to G&L Premier Dealer Tone Shop Guitars in in Addison, Texas:
Here’s a Special Build Doheny in Andromeda over Empress, 3-ply black guard, Clear Satin finish Maple neck with matching headstock,
Ebony fingerboard, and locking tuners.

I found out that the Andromeda finish was to be avallable this year for all other G&L Dealers and that Galaxy Black was discontinued in 12/2020.
Here are some recent ones posted on G&L's facebook page:
Special Build Legacy in Andromeda over Empress, 3-ply black pickguard, Vintage Tint Satin finish Maple neck with an Ebony fingerboard.
CLF2106052 is headed to Guitar Resurrection in Austin, Texas.

Special Build M-2500 in Andromeda over pine, maple neck with ebony board, Clear Satin finish, body color headstock.

Note: I call these instruments Special Build because they have body woods (Sugar Pine and Empress) which are not available for Option Ordering.
Perhaps available to only G&L Premier Dealers.
Here’s a lefty Doheny in Andromeda, 3-ply black guard, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, Clear Satin finish, pearl block inlays, matching headstock.

To see more examples of this finish, see: Andromeda finish.
As more instruments with this finish are posted by G&L, I will add them to that post.

Thanks to Tone Shop Guitars for suggesting this new Andromeda finish and to G&L for making it available! :thumbup: :thumbup:
