G&L L-1000 question

Dave Hopping · June 27th, 2009, 02:56 PM

Here's a pic of my fretless L-1000.Neck date 11-17-80,S/N B0015XX.All original except for straplocks and 2 knobs.I read somewhere that G&L went into production in 1980,but I don't know exactly when,so I'm not sure if my L-1000 is early enough to have any significance.Any G&L historians out there?

That's a pretty early, unique looking headstock!! I like it! I tried a G&L JB2 recently, that was really nice.

This is about as good as you're going to get regarding an historical website:

Greg doesn't post much on BABP or GbL, so a specific question you might have would best be sent via PM from BABP.

G&L started production in June 1980 so you have a first year L-1000, a very nice bass.
