Replacement necks from G&L ...

Hey G&L, I have a 2014 asat Classic American, after buying an OLS blues boy with the 1-11/6 nut width
Can I buy a new neck for my classic with that width? Would it fit on a classic that has 1-5/8?

G&L Musical Instruments Our repairs department repairs@glguitars.com provides that service, ensuing a good fit.
I think it starts at 500 before additional neck options like finish, binding etc.

I contacted G&L about a replacement neck. According to the repair shop, all necks are made to order. You'll need to send in your guitar for a refit.

I don't have a price yet but will post when they get back to me.

I got the information on a new neck from G&L. Replacement necks start @$500. Includes installation and setup. Guitar owner pays for shipping both ways.

Hope that helps.

Will they replace a 3 bolt neck?

Will they replace a 3 bolt neck?

You need to contact G&L Support to find out.
Let us know what they say.

I missed that, and tried searching but could not find any. Can you share the links to them?

TIA.

They did two at least in the CLF Facebook thread - one is a Customer's L1000 and the other is listed as 'Project El Toro.' I don't know if these were one-offs and I'm sure it depends on the specific guitar, but looks like they have done it and posted it up in public:

This is one of the most beautiful early L-1000s I’ve seen in a while. It’s a customer bass in for repair, so I’m taking liberties posting : )

This wunkay was born here in the factory on April 8, 1981, in my favorite combo of Sunburst on mahogany and that slick ebony board.
Some of you know exactly what’s up with that. Anyway, sad story was that original neck went south a while ago.

I guess the owner heard the factory is making L-1000s again in the early style. That’s what lead to me taking these pics of the bass with a
replacement neck made with (I believe) Caribbean Rosewood fingerboard and vintage tint satin finish. Yes, it was made for the original 3-bolt
and the fit is super clean to the original neck pocket.

So one hand, there’s a sad story of a beautiful L-1000 with a dead neck and out of the game. No matter that sucks. But as a consolation,
it just got a beautiful new neck, bringing it back to life at the place it’s life began 37 years ago. I just completely dig that this repair job came
about because of the existence of the new CLFR L-1000s. If the customer sees this, thank you for the opportunity. : )

Project El Toro has been using the neck from our red ‘83 SB-2 for too long. Well, it’s time to put that neck back where it belongs,
‘cause we’re gonna build a brand new neck for Project El Toro.

Ah, from the CLF Research Facebook posts which I posted in the CLF Research (Past and Present) sub-forum. The Project El Toro is a bass Dave McLaren
bought and is having the factory restore, to added to the Leo's Lounge collection of vintage G&L's. The L-1000 was done as a favor for a customer who
had heard about the CLF Research L-1000 bass. He chose to have the factory build a new 3-bolt neck for this owner. Note that the CLF Research L-1000 neck is
a modern 4-bolt neck. I don't think Dave is saying that they will repair or replace 3-bolt necks in general. As I said before, you will need to contact G&L Support
and ask if they will repair/replace a 3-bolt neck.
