The lefty 74 Grabber is coming along! Here's a couple pics of the body that Michael sent me this morning. He tinted the clear to match the neck.

Looking great! I didn't realize that Dolan was still in business, glad to hear it. |

Looks great! I bet that's going to turn some heads when you post a photo of it next to the G3 on a Gibson forum

As far as Dots on both sides of the neck that was common for Gibson, I had a 71 Les Paul with Dots on both sides. |

The grain on that body is Gorgeous! Glad it's being highlighted with the new finish... |

This one is a 74 Grabber with the sliding pickup. It lived most of it's life as a righty but Michael Dolan made a lefty body for it. He also matched the aged neck finish on the body, aded a lefty pickguard and added side dots on the neck. Check out the latest update on it:

Oh that's pretty neat! I'm willing to bet that the G3 was a custom body. How much does Michael Dolan charge for a custom G3/Grabber body or pickguard? |

As far as I remember, a little less than $950. And the right handed body sold on Ebay for $650 so it helped to cover the cost! Now I also have to agree with you, at this point I consider the G3 a custom body as well, but made in the 70's. |
