Leo Fender - the man behind the most classic guitar designs and features ever found.  The man who is responsible for the beloved Stratocaster and Telecaster.  The L in G&L.

  Many people recognize the Fender name, even those who do not play guitar.  However, most people don't realize that the guiding light, Leo Fender, sold the company in 1965.  But that didn't mean he was done innovating and that's where G&L takes over the Leo Fender legacy.

Formed in 1980 with George Fullerton (the G in G&L), a friend and former Fender employee, G&L took Leo's original designs and went further.  Smarter tone control layouts, smoother, better sustaining tremolo systems, necks that won't warp as easy are just a few of the innovations Leo and company brought to the guitar with G&L.

Sadly, Leo is no longer with us, G&L was his final guitar company and in his opinion, his highest acheivement in guitar design. 

American G&L's are practically custom shop guitars, with a wide variety of options to choose from to get just that special, one of a kind guitar.  They also feature flawless features and finish comparable to high end, boutique custom shop guitars.  We always have some cool ones in stock and are happy to special order them for you.

G&L Tributes are made in overseas to G&L specs (not just another knock off!) and loaded with American G&L pickups!  The G&L Tribute are an excellent way to get G&L features at a more affordable price.  New models are added all the time to the Tribute series including the very popular and innovative Commanche.
