Here's an exceptionally cool design from the CLF Research branch of G&L Guitars, based in Fullerton, California. This model is a cool twist between multiple models, featuring aspects of your favorite vintage models, as well as some signature design aspects only attributed to Leo Fender's G&L models of the late 70's and 80's.Â
This instrument features an Alder Body, Sonic Blue finish, Maple neck and fretboard, Saddle-lock bridge (Fixed), medium jumbo frets and of course, the VERY COOL MFD Split Coil Espada pickups. The Espada model also features a neat control set; a 3-position toggle selector with volume, treble, and bass controls along with a Tri-Tone Active / Passive system that allows for a smorgasbord of rich and jangly tones.Â
- Beautifully imagined solidbody electric designed by a legendary luthier
- Lightweight, resonant swamp ash body with a beautifully playable and responsive Caribbean rosewood fingerboard
- Saddle Lock Bridge transfers guitar's string energy directly into the wood
- Duo of long-pole, split-coil prototype pickups updated with Leo's Magnetic Field Design delivers outstanding amplified tone
- Series/parallel switch lets you fatten and round the tone toward humbucker, or thin it out slightly to single-coil territory
- Modern G&L Micro Preamp can be dialed up via a mini-toggle switch
- Preamp lets you slice right through thick fuzz or put sparkling harmonics front and center
