G&L will be offering block inlays...?

According with Upfront Guitars it seems like G&L is soon going to be offering block inlays for their basses... That was the only thing missing!
From the page: Block Inlays – Rumored to be in the works but not in the latest price book. If you like the look of the big block inlays introduced by Fender in the mid-60’s they are on the way.

Should be by sometime this summer, I was told around "June-ish". There might be another big bass announcement this summer too...

I am pretty sure black binding will be added to the options as well, I'll probably let you guys know as soon as I get the updated list at work.

I have an plan...... I'm trying to put it off until the end of the summer..... surely I can make it through the summer with 5 basses......

Curious what the upcharge will be on top of the std price. This will put these over 2k street tho. These really are nice basses. Side by side against a fender.... I'll keep my opinions to myself here in respect of my Fender fellow board members :mrgreen:

I just took a quick scroll through G&L's instagram. Nothing yet. I wonder when we'll see the first example of the block inlays.

Hopefully not as ridiculous an upcharge as Lakland does. :shock:

Naw, G&L is pretty good on upgrades. Lakland is a hefty uncharge but their pearl blocks were sooo killer.

I have been told middle to end of June is most likely

Meh... I already ordered my bass... But I can still use block stickers :lol:

Official MAP price on Black or Pearl block is $150, which isn't too bad

Not at all! I'm leaning towards the blocks....

paulo · **Posted:** May 12th, 2017, 9:03 am

Wow that's not bad!!
Since I put the order recently, I asked the dealer if they could also add the block inlays to the order...
Fingers crossed! 8-)

Thanks Wolf!

Just got an email back from the dealer:
"Actually your guitar left the factory this past week and should be here by Wednesday, so sorry about that. For future reference black or white block inlays are a $150 MAP option."
So, no block inlays for me but I'm happy to get the bass so fast!
