Here's a nice, early G&L L1000, paddle head Wunkay.

 

It's in beautiful condition, a few dings which I've tried to show in the photos.


The neck is smooth with no dings along it and the frets are in great condition.

 

Sound is superb!  This is Leo's Precision on steroids, very powerful, loads of distinction and then there's OMG switch!

 

These are top quality instruments, Schaller tuners, beautiful maple neck (no flashy ripples etc, just creamy, solid rock maple!).

As a result, it plays beautifully.

 

There are plenty of youtube demos etc, of these to hear them.

 

Very sad to see my Wunkay go, it's a stunning colour, the neck looks so creamy and lovely, 3 bolt adjustable neck joint.

 

Priced to sell, you might find cheaper, I would contend you may not find better.  (And also, I PC160190.thumb.JPG.28520a8e89b716a57595de8ff367f680.JPGreally like it myself!)

I wasn’t aware of the paddle headstock? I’ve only ever seen the current style. Was this an earlier feature that got dropped in favour of the other one?

Yep,  the early ones are paddle shaped.   Might have been a bit too similar to the Fender shape?
