Too bad I can't get one in a 5-string. AFG looks cool!

Ethan,

Not sure if you frequent BassNorthwest but they received a 4003FL AFG early this year.
Here's the link:

Thats not an Amber FG FL. Its missing the walnut wings and vintage tone selector plus the color's not right.

The FL at Bass NW is another example of how much good photography counts when trying to capture FG. Several examples can be seen in this thread alone.

Carmen,

Actually, it is one of the first AFG to ship. No wings and pre-VTS switch. Appears to be a prototype.

I remember seeing the AFG 4003FL when it was on their page. That looks like a regular 4003FL. One of the links on the other pages you linked goes to a page not displayed.

Ethan, I have an AFG on order from the end of June, can't wait myself.

Will yours come with all the latest goodies?

Hi Ethan, I'm guessing you're the "EJ" right behind me on the POTR list... Chris shipped mine out today too - can't wait to get it!

It's going to be a long weekend...
