Frequently asked questions
What's the main physical difference between these two guitars?
The Lefty is a solid-body left-handed instrument built to order, while the Thinline is a semi-hollow body right-handed guitar that is already in stock. The Thinline's thinned body reduces overall weight and increases resonance compared to the Lefty's solid alder construction.
Which one has a brighter tone?
The Thinline exhibits bell-like brightness and natural resonance characteristic of semi-hollow body designs. The Lefty delivers a punchy, articulate tone with woody midrange warmth typical of solid-body instruments. Both use the same G&L ASAT Classic single-coil Alnico pickups, so the tonal difference comes primarily from body construction.
Are the neck specifications identical between these two?
Both guitars feature the Modern Classic neck profile with 1 11/16" nut width, 1 5/8" string spacing, and 9.5" radius fingerboard. The Thinline provides specific neck depth measurements (0.820" at first fret, 0.870" at 12th fret), while the Lefty lists these as part of its responsive design without identical published specs.
How long is the wait for each guitar?
The Lefty is built to order by G&L's master craftsmen, meaning a custom wait period applies. The Thinline is listed as in stock and unplayed, available for immediate purchase and shipment.
