One of your few remedies, if not the only one, is to look for a 3-bolt G&L neck offered on daBay. I am not aware of a separate supplier and if available, would like to be as much educated as you.

I don't think you will be limited to a 3 bolt neck. 4 bolt necks should fit the neck pocket as well. If you do not need the tilt screw, you just have to drill three holes.

This is probably the second most asked question here (the first being "what year is my G&L?").

Here are a couple posts with responses:

Replacement Necks

S500 neck replacement aftermarket? 4 bolt?

Also, from G&L's main website FAQ:

Q. I need a part for my G&L. Where should I get it?
A. You can obtain some parts through the G&L Online Store. You can order other parts through your local G&L dealer, or by calling our customer service line at (714) 897-6766 extention 116. Not all parts are available for all models and we are currently unable to offer our bodies, necks, or pickups for aftermarket use. We have a limited supply of some older parts available from our Online Store.


Hope this helps.
