G&L Comanche Hardtail

USA Comanche. 2009, Cherry Burst body with cream binding. Brand new neck. There was a Birdseye neck on this, but, it twisted and became unplayable. (I do not think G&L will make Birdseye necks anymore.) The new neck was built at the G&L Fulton factory in California. It’s the Modern C profile with a 12” radius and rosewood fretboard. This is a great playing neck, many will tell you it’s the best one G&L makes. Body is mint, a case queen. Perfect action setup. Also, this guitar is a rare hardtail, they sound better with more low end, locking tuners. This guitar rips. Stays in tune, sounds great, plays great. Case included.

That finish is not my cup of tea. Refinish it and put a maple board on it.

Agreed.
A different finish might make all that is wrong with it look less so.

 

[Guitar Heel]

love it.

 

[jelloman]

I SHOULD like that...

...but I don't...

 

[Jbird]

I wonder what the pickups sound like?

That guitar reminds me of He Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon.

I am just not sure on this one. Don't love the burst, but think the guitar would be cool. Would have to pick it up, feel it, plug it in and play to be sure.

Is that's Bozo's signature guitar?

I agree with @reverend1

That's funny, when people see me with my shirt off, they same the same thing :d

I like it!
Plus it is a dependable gigging guitar.

 

[BuzzBaloo]

Neither a fan of the clown burst nor the square edge of the top, and I might prefer the G&L trem.

Have always wanted to try a Z-3 G&L of some sort.

You do bear resemblance to Orko.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

I don’t do clownburst.

Hard pass.

[Modern Saint]

Would be fun....

Still have a hell of a time with the split coils though.

It's funny - a restrained, well-done cherry-burst is one of the nicer finishes for a maple or ash guitar. It's apparently almost impossible to do well, because there are so many examples of terrible clownbursts (of which this is one)...

I was once called "Cringer" at the beach. Does that count?
