G&L is a guitar design and production company founded by Leo Fender, George Fullerton, and Dale Hyatt in the late 1970s. Fender sold his company named Fender in 1965. He designed and produced instruments for Music Man in the 1970s through his company CLF Research. When relations with Music Man soured, G&L was created to continue operations outside of Music Man. The G&L name comes from the initials of George (Fullerton) and Leo (Fender).

[Fun Fact: Sometime around 1979/1980 our Music Man district sales rep, Jody Carver, came to the store with George Fullerton. They said that Leo started a new company, called G&L, with his longtime friend George. They asked if I would be interested in carrying George & Leo's new line of guitars. How could I say no?

Fun Fact 2: George told me he had a swimming pool in the shape of a Jazzmaster (now updated by G&L as the Doheney) and the vibrato bar was the diving board.]

G&L instruments are similar to the classic Fenders, but with some modern innovations. They are built at the same facility on Fender Avenue in Fullerton, California that produced the early Music Man instruments. G&L instruments are not widely distributed but are highly regarded by many musicians and collectors. The relatively small scale of production further allows for more custom options than are possible on larger production lines.

This is a beautiful example of a great design; these G&L guitars just do everything right. They play smoothly and sound superb.

Hard-shell case included.

Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
