G&L Fallout Belair Green

G&L Fallout

By 2013, New Release No Comments
What would a 1983 G&L SC-2 be if Leo Fender recreated it for today’s scene? The crew at G&L think it would be a lot like the new Fallout. The SC-2 was born as a cool looking, comfortable and light axe that could be thrashed mercilessly and not miss a beat. Fallout keeps those qualities in the mix but branches out to cover today’s sophisticated textures and tones. Fallout shares the original Leo Fender-designed SC-2 body shape, comfortable, sustain-rich G&L Saddle Lock bridge and easy-playing medium-C-shape neck with a 12” radius and medium-jumbo frets.

G&L Black Ice Legacy Deluxe

G&L Black Ice Legacy Deluxe

By 2013, New Release No Comments
The G&L Legacy Deluxe blends elements of Leo Fender across his career. Take those classic Alnico V pickups in the neck and middle position, voiced by Paul Gagon.

G&L Black Ice ASAT Classic Bluesboy

By 2012, New Release No Comments

The G&L Black Ice ASAT Classic Bluesboy is a factory-modded version of Leo Fender’s final word on the traditional single-cutaway bolt-on axe. For players looking for the unmistakable warmth of a classic humbucker in the neck position, the Bluesboy delivers with a well-balanced pairing of a Seymour Duncan SH-55 Seth Lover alnico humbucker and a single-coil G&L Magnetic Field Design™ bridge pickup designed by Leo Fender. This latter-day Leo axe is shows its darker side thanks to a Nearly Naked™ (NENA) Black Ice finish over its swamp ash body.

G&L Superhawk Deluxe Jerry Cantrell Blueburst

G&L Superhawk Jerry Cantrell

By 2013, Artist Signature Models, New Release No Comments
It’s been well over two decades since a G&L Superhawk was last produced. Now G&L is proud to announce the launch of the Superhawk Jerry Cantrell signature model, available in two USA-made versions as well as a surprisingly affordable G&L Tribute Series version. This Superhawk starts out with the same soft Maple body and fast-playing hard rock Maple neck with Ebony fingerboard as the Rampage. It even shares the same Seymour Duncan JB pickup in the bridge position, but adds a Seymour Duncan ’59 in the neck position.

G&L Fiorano GTS Trans Red

G&L Fiorano GTS

By 2012, New Release No Comments
The G&L Fiorano GTS is an instrument that’s steeped in rock-guitar history but groundbreaking. The Fiorano GTS is the first set-neck, 25½”-scale, three-tuners-to-a-side guitar G&L has ever offered. It’s a striking instrument and, quite simply, it kicks ass. It joins the pioneering 24¾”-scale Ascari in G&L’s Tribute Series, and it delivers on its promise. The 24-fret neck and Gagon-designed humbuckers are made for brutal riffing and detuned/drop-tuned heaviness – but the Fiorino cleans up beautifully when asked.

G&L Special Collection ASAT Classic S

By 2012, New Release No Comments

The G&L ASAT Classic S is a factory-modded version of Leo Fender’s final word on the traditional single-cutaway bolt-on axe. Responding to requests from Nashville studio session players for a third pickup, the G&L crew began custom-building ASAT Classics with a single-coil S-500 Magnetic Field Design pickup created by Leo Fender in the middle position. It didn’t take long for word to spread, and soon enough this combo was made available to every player with the G&L ASAT Classic S.

G&L Ascari GTS

By 2011, New Release No Comments

G&L’s done something special: We’ve created an instrument that’s steeped in guitar history yet strikingly new – The Ascari, the newest member of G&L’s Tribute Series. It was inspired by a recently uncovered prototype drawing done three decades ago by G&L co-founder George Fullerton, representing Leo Fender’s vision for G&L’s first 24¾” scale, three-tuners-to-a-side guitar. It was designed jointly by G&L’s longtime VP of engineering, Paul Gagon, and his close friend and former collaborator, Grover Jackson, founder of Jackson Guitars. Its DNA is full of rock guitar history.
