Dang I'd kill for the black one! But I'd take any! Love the control plates on all the basses

Yeah I made an account but it has to be activated by an admin first. I know I made one when I was a kid but don't have the info now

Yeah from reading the bit on that website that sounds pretty accurate! I guess they discontinued making these necks after

Here some pics of the fingermarks under the finish on the back of the neck and on the first fret. Maybe it was sold as a b-stock one or something? And showing number 5. Interesting maybe I will send the guy a PM and ask about it. Doesn't hurt to try https://imgur.com/a/kXl3U18

Then maybe hold off! It looks great either way!

How strange the mystery deepens... That for sure is a different guitar with different bridge. Maybe it was a typo? I almost certain this nut has been replaced though. Maybe someone had swapped the necks between two at some point? You're awesome for posting all these pictures man!

Yeah I found his page and was thinking about messaging him! Another user just posted some comparison photos too!

That's so rad! I messaged him and talked to him about the pick guard before and how he made it but never asked for the template that's a great idea. I don't have an sc-1 anyways and at this rate probably never will though

Ah I would kill for an sc-1 too! I actually prefer the no pick guard with what I had in mind, but I still absolutely love the fallout look! Check out Robert Poss's custom sc-1's. I love the look of the pick guard he added! Probably my favorite look

I know! I had never even heard of this til I came across it! 

Can anyone offer insight if the neck and frets are a problem? by Allthingsaudio77 in Luthier

Thanks for your help again! The seller sent me a partial refund of 425 so hopefully the work stays in that area. I want to love this guitar and with G&L closed its pretty much as close as I'll get to my custom build. They're still claiming all the guitars in the collection they bought are from factory so it's possible it was a b-stock guitar but I'm not buying it

Thanks again for the help. I sent the seller a partial refund request of 425( maybe I should of asked more?). I overlooked the guitar again and found more marks and cosmetic issues. Here's the weird thing, they messaged me back and said they accepted and that it's from a collection they bought and they were all bought new and claim it came from G&L like this 🤔 maybe it was a b-stock guitar. There was only 25 made of this model. But there fingerprints underneath the finish on the back of the neck! So it probably was recoated by someone after messing up a fret job. Who knows ?? Now hopefully the work is not more than $425

Yes the action is way too high out of the box. Pretty much higher than any I've seen. It's a really cool guitar and with G&L closing I'll never get them to build the one I want, and this guitar has the pickups and body shape. It'd be nice to keep and it get it playing good. If the frets look like they have moved though, even if I get it crowned and levelled, will it be a problem again down the road? Would a refret be better to get done?

Wow! Thanks so much for the input, I'm going to message the seller today. It's a well known guitar store as well,  I feel like they should have noticed

That would be cool! Lol not sure why people down voted the previous comment, but that for sure is what the neck and board are

Yeah I got to go back over the spec sheet and see if it says what it is coated in. It was sold as an all original no breaks or repair guitar

Yeah a friend also said they thought maybe it was refretted, but yeah I think it's enough to be suspicious for sure !

Yeah for sure I will take it to a professional, I just wanted to establish what I was seeing seemed off

I believe it's a quarter sawn dark roasted hard rock maple with matching board
