It looks horrible?!

Like, if Van Halen played a Mustang it'd look like that.

Stupid large photos? If I'm buying a guitar where my knowledge of that specific guitar (as opposed to the model in general) I want as many large detailed photos as I can get. Ignoring the first couple which could have been cropped quite a bit, the photos aren't even that large.

I love the body/design, but the neck needs something like a matching headstock and binding, it just looks out of place when compaired to the rest.

how much is it gonna cost? They have an orignal one at the store near my
house for $900... Seems like an ok deal.

The original ones are great. They have a better looking headstock, tuners and control plate. I like the banana like control plate. I don't know why they tried to fix it....

i actually really like the looks of that...
if the pups are anything like the ones in the G&L asat i had its way worth it.
holy crap, that price is a bit steep.
i'd pay.... 700 top endfor one, and it better have a case.

My old drummer's stepdad had an SC-3 that was fantastic but had been under a bed for 30 years and needed a set-up. It was hard to judge in that respect but at least sounded really ballsy when we plugged it in during a band practice.

I like the look of the new SC-2, it's more of what I consider to be "G&L-ish" than G&L's output of the last decade and a half or so.

I like it but agree there could be improvements, especially that headstock, ewww.

I LOVE G&L's I have been seriously thinking about buying my friends G&L commanche. Anyways, I have had 3 G&L teles (2 import /1 american), 2 G&L s-500 (strat with added config 1 import/1 american) and 1 american bass. Great guitars. The amerricans are the quality of fender custome shop for the price of american standards and the mexi's are the quality of american standards for the price of mexi standards......

Have no fucking clue what possessed me to go with "30 years" but you know what I mean, more than 10.
