It seems that some Custom Creations logos are missing on the reverse of headstocks for those limited runs where it "should" be there.
I have no clue where I have seen mention of this before, so can't provide models where this has been observed, and I can't recall the reasons for it.
However, I have seen it on a Savannah edition guitar in recent weeks. Elsewhere, the Savannah guitars are described as having a small CCD and G&L logo at the very tip of rear of the headstock. I was thinking I could be looking at a replaced neck, although it is quartersawn as per the original, and then remembered discussion of absent CCD logos being mentioned somewhere previously.
Are any forum members able to recall any discussions about this?
Many thanks!

Jos (aka yowhatsshakin) has a great writeup on the Custom Creations on his website:

Hope this helps.

Hi Craig - thanks for the reply mate.
The links do lead to discussions about how a CCD guitar "should" have a logo (for most models), but I am wondering about those models where it is actually a Customs Creation (Savannah, etc.) and "should" have a CCD logo (based on the descriptions provided by those who have them, such as Jos) but actually don't.
The Jos link to CCD guitars is a great read and one of reasons I was prompted to ask. There is a link to the Korina edition guitars in that article, describing some of their certification as being "all over the place". That sounded interesting, and it did provide one little breadcrumb...
First, the link is: http://yowhatsshakin.com/yowhatsshakin/G%26L_CCD_Korina_Collection.html.
And here is the "breadcrumb":Jos wrote:The very first production run has nothing more than the S/N, the second run additionally shows a large CCD logo but without a sequence number underneath as seen in previous CCD runs.
So, in some CCD releases which by almost all accounts "should" include a CCD logo, its absence may indicate different production runs for the model (earlier or later than the bulk of them). At least, that is what I take from it. In the case of the Korina edition, the first off the line apparently have no CCD logo (and no silver certificate, which was provided on later runs).
Does anyone have any info on the Savannah edition? I assume it is a similar issue. I'm not really questioning the guitar's authenticity, I just have a burning curiosity about tiny details that probably have no intrinsic meaning whatsoever
