Very interesting info about the new pickups!

I wonder if they will sell them as aftermarket options?
I am pretty certain that is why they kept it packaged in a standard JM footprint.

This would be my approach... Breaking with the JM shape, but detailed in an offbeat G&L way. I think it's important that it should capture the essence of the JM as it was when released - a premium Fender for serious players used to their classy Gibsons.

I like the tailpiece, partially because it looks like a cute little frog face. :D 8)

Cheers guys! Maybe I should send it in and beg for a job!

Yeah I noticed the frog face when I was designing it, decided to roll with it! G&L Pepe-Master! Haha

Those pickups, whatever they are (staple top P90s?), look crazy and weird and I love them. :-* :)

According to UpFront Guitars' Facebook page: "The G&L Doheny, official launch on September 12. Featuring G&L's new JM-style MFD pickup." (Emphasis mine.)

Just wait, though, they'll only be available in Belair Green, sunburst, white, and black.

You can use it to have the frog shoot lasers at invaders from space, fishmen from the Pacific surf or delta swamp things.

No. The correct answer is obviously that it is used to guide the frog safely to the other side of the road.

I absolutely stand corrected.
