It was pretty reasonable. Still ~$200 CDN less than buying a comparable American Pro Jaguar or Jazzmaster off the rack here, and I got to choose my colour and add a couple things - painted headstock and pearl pickguard were upcharges, but nothing major - so I'm looking forward to it.Larry Mal wrote:So is the price significantly different having them build the guitar for you compared to the price we are seeing here?

They're live on the site now.

Not sure how I feel about this. It's more appealing to me than an American Pro, but that isn't saying much.

Re: G&L Doheny
Man, they offer contours for their ASAT model. I wish there were more companys doing this, at least the "Tele Deluxe" back contour...JagInTheBag wrote:The Doheny can be ordered in any factory finish: G&L USA FinishesBoringPostcards wrote:So they'll be available with mutliple colours, hard tail or vibrato, dots or blocks, or blocks and binding, maple or rosewood fretboard,white, cream or black pickup covers/knobs, etc. etc.?
Why can't Fender do this?
G&L USA Guitar Options are as follows
There is only one guitar company that still builds guitars at 2548 Fender Avenue Fullerton, California 92831 and it's G&L.

I notice you aren't using your B-bender?
Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

Sure, it didn't look you had it strung, though, but maybe I can't see it.
I have a Hipshot bender and dislike the hip bending unit (mine also has a palm bender that I do like).

Re: G&L Doheny
Busy blues noodling aside, sounds damn good!
I hope the pickups are made available on the G&L store. I've always wanted MFD pickups to suit the Jazzmaster.

I would have loved to hear them surf or shoegaze on this thing, come on! Still, sounds great, don't it?

I would have liked to hear more strummed chords. Demo people seem to forget that one little simple thing quite often, eh?

Re: G&L Doheny
The pickups should be available, MFDs are my favourite pickups and these seem to have that same beautiful response.

I would like to hear less stupid blooze noodling and shreddy bullshit, so I guess I agree with you?BoringPostcards wrote:I would have liked to hear more strummed chords. Demo people seem to forget that one little simple thing quite often, eh?
It sounds pretty nice from what I can tell, but meh. I still don't really want one.

Me too. Seems like a good Guitar but would like to have also heard how it handles Surf & other styles of music.marqueemoon wrote:I would like to hear less stupid blooze noodling and shreddy bullshit, so I guess I agree with you?BoringPostcards wrote:I would have liked to hear more strummed chords.
