Baco,
I have a friend in the Netherlands that I keep preaching the joys of G&L.
He can't find a neck he likes or he runs across Tributes.
Can I send him your way?

Hi Chet, feel free to send him my way, no problem ;) My site is http://www.guitarcandy.be (or check facebook, I have a page there too, named Guitar Candy), my contact info can be found there. I have some more G&L guitars incoming, the 3 Korina ASAT guitars and 6 other USA G&L guitars (around december).

@ Darwin: thanks! With this order I wanted to show what G&L can offer, especially with my second order there will be nice overview of USA G&L guitars here 8-)

And, last week we did a photoshoot of all the guitars in my shop, with pro gear so expect some major G&L porn coming soon!

At the moment, the only BluesBoy I have on order is the one from the Korina Collection. I know my distributor has some, maybe after all my current orders are in...

The custom looks reaaally nice! I wonder if the headstock is of the same colour with a FM veneer.

Both the Invader XL and the Asat Deluxe have a matching headstock. I don't have pics of the Asat headstock yet, but here's one of the Invader XL:

The photographer is a friend of mine. We set up a little backdrop here in my shop and we took these pictures. More photoshoots coming up as more guitars come in ;)

The black burst is beautiful.

I think the Invader XL is my favorite G&L model (did I just commit heresy?) I hope to trade in my tribute Invader one day for a USA Invader XL. I have been studying the Fiorano GTS (for the day the USA model arrives) but I'm still leaning towards the Invader (not sure if I want to fuss with a FR trem - but was watching a Satriani DVD last night and he does some pretty cool effects with one).

My second/third G&L USA delivery arrived yesterday, always nice to have some G&L's coming in :thumbup:

First up, the Korina twins (should have been a triplet but they delivered me the Bass instead of the BluesBoy, should be ok soon, though):

Korina Asat Deluxe II
Image

Image

Korina Asat Junior II
Image

Image

Comanche in Emerald Blue (pics don't do this guitar justice, I will post some better ones in time)
Image

Image

Image

Legacy Special in Margarita Frost (stunning color!)
Image

Image

Will Ray signature in Turquoise Flake (again, the pics don't do this guitar justice, the flake finish is amazing!)
Image

Image

Image

And last but not least, something special, a F-100 in Satin Black
Image

Image

Image

I will post better pics after we do another photoshoot, but I wanted to share these with you already. Again I'm stunned by the outcome of my order. Every single guitar is just perfect, plays perfect and looks amazing. At this time I have pretty much covered the whole range of G&L USA guitars so I think that everyone that comes in will have a good idea of what G&L can offer 8-)

If I ran a G&L guitar store I'd go out of business
because every guitar would have a sign on it
"not for sale - demo only".

Well, this series is something different for G&L, in different ways, I'm happy with these as they are, really.

I'd love to keep these all, but I'm sure G&L will make me some other cool guitars in the future :)

I've been OOO'n and Awww'n a lot of great guitars on this site.

But that F-100 left me....speechless.

That's just a great looking instrument.

Can't wait for the "glamor" shots.

That F-100 is something different, that's a fact. With this guitar I'm aiming at guitarists that maybe never would have considered a G&L... until they see this one ;) I'm getting great reactions on this guitar, so it seems to be working :)

Is the satin black finish on the F-100 different than the Graphite Metallic
listed on the G&L web site? It is stunning to look at for sure especially
on the F-100 with the EMG's.
