The legacy of Leo Fender lives on with the G&L Custom Shop, taking some of his best innovations and implementing them into bespoke, custom-made, one-off instruments. The quality of the of these guitars are at or above any of the big-box brand Custom Shop models, but with a greater level of customized options, a much more reasonable price-point, and an unprecedented level of individual attention from the G&L staff and Master Builders. I cannot speak more highly of this instrument and my experience working with G&L. Highly recommended!

@CClarkCumbo Год назад

Okay... In my humble opinion.... I think G&L is more Fender than Fender. They are great playing and sounding guitars. And by the way... Nice guitar.

@VertexEffectsInc Год назад

I would say for anything under the custom shop that’s probably true. And then, if you get into the custom shop range, there’s a pretty big price disparity where you’re paying more for not as good of an instrument and certainly not as customized.

@jfinester Год назад

The L in G&L stands for Leo Fender.

@patrickkoenigsfeld1253 Год назад

G&L is amazing. Fixed everything that was wrong with the fenders.

@patmurphy7266 6 месяцев назад

as someone who grew up near Fullerton, my sis went to Rosary. YES g&l is very much what Fender used to be. Not FMIC

That pickup configuration is amazing. Couldn't ask for more. Congratulations on your acquisition! G&L is an incredible company.

@VertexEffectsInc Год назад

Really great guitars, no doubt!

@slickcross Год назад

G&L is so underrated. My main guitar is an Indonesian G&L semi hollow ASAT (tele) guitar. I took it to my luthier and he upgraded it and it sounds amazing!

@VertexEffectsInc Год назад

@jamesburge1983 5 месяцев назад

Glad you got a G&L. Been a fan for over 10 years, really under rated. If you want an old school Fender, can not go wrong with G&L.

@richardpierce7819 Год назад

You may think its not a fender but the l in G&L stands for Leo Fender. He founded the company and his partner was George Fullerton ( the G in G&L )

@VertexEffectsInc Год назад

Not sure there's anything said in the video that contests this. Nevertheless, G&L isn't a Fender, I think it goes without saying that they share similar DNA but are different brands.

@richardpierce7819 Год назад

Different brands yes , but still designed by Leo Fender. I bought one of the 1st G&Ls back in the 80s it was a strat style , it played and sounded like a fender

@emdblues Год назад

He founded Music Man as well and I just bought another of his designs, the Sabre 2 from '78. The neck on this thing is amazing. Similar to MM EVH which I recently tried.

@richardpierce7819 Год назад

@@emdblues yes I had a music man sabre 2 and it just so happened it was the one George Terry used on Lay Down Sally. The case was sensiled "Fragile electronic instrument" Eric Clapton Group , I got through my friend who ran Modern Music in Sunrise Fla. His name was Dave Morgan. He got straight from George. All the laquer had be sanded off the back of the neck and it was a fast fret board. I wish I still had that thing.

@TheRachelal8na Год назад

Absolutely amazing! One of the most carefully thought out presentations of a unique guitar that I've seen (and heard) in years. So well done Mason. It's not only full of different sounds, but each one in its own right was excellent. What a chameleon of an instrument. Your playing skills certainly enhanced the demonstration, wonderful choice of styles and songs to showcase what must NOT be an inexpensive guitar. One can only dream...

@VertexEffectsInc Год назад

Wow, thanks so much!!! I think for what it is, it's quite reasonable, however G&L makes many different models that are significantly cheaper including a very affordable import series form Indonesia. Definitely worth checking out!

@albertplaysguitar Год назад

@bsjeffrey Год назад

in my favorite live version of hotel california, joe walsh is playing a tele.

@VertexEffectsInc Год назад

Yes, he played a Tele on the live and studio version, but the opening part that I played was Don Felder on a Les Paul. Joe Walsh comes in after the part that I played with a Tele.

@ClearTheDeck Год назад

Mason, I've learned a ton from you over the last couple of years. Referencing mostly your videos, I built a super-tidy (you would be proud) mono wet/dry pedalboard that delivers a huge range of the best sounds I've ever attained. I am constantly inspired to try new songs. Your G&L kicks ass and although I can't go for that right now, I can't wait to try the songs and sounds you demo'd, with what I've got. I never knew how bad I needed a Univibe fuzz sound.

@VertexEffectsInc Год назад

Thanatos so much for watching!

@nathanielheale Год назад

Sounds killer! Finally, someone who shares my enthusiasm for a triple pickup Tele! 🙌 In mine, I've got a classic in the bridge, tri-sonic style in the middle, and mini humbucker in the neck.

@VertexEffectsInc Год назад

The versatility of a three pickup Tele is unmatched IMO!

@Liam_Doherty_UK Год назад

I have the Brent Mason signature Tele. It’s the best guitar I’ve ever owned 👍

@Adambob78 Год назад

I'm onboard, I put p90s in a Tele with a filtertron in the middle position, wired to have any possible combo of pickups including all three. Great sounds!

@martinthompson2425 Год назад

Yeah man! I’ve been playing three-pickup Teles off and on for a little over twenty years now! The most stable Strats I’ve ever had were three-pickup Teles! It took a long time for me to learn to appreciate a standard Tele. I kept hoping to find Strat sounds that just weren’t there. So I always added a middle pickup. Eventually I grew up and committed to building a standard Tele style guitar with Warmoth parts and insisted that I would let that Tele be a Tele, and I’m super happy with that guitar. I still rock a Nashville Tele from time to time though. Great vid!

@jfinester Год назад

That’s my favorite Tele setup.

Three pickup Teles rock! I love the shout out to Robin Trower and his great skills with the Strat middle pickup! Inspirational!

@VertexEffectsInc Год назад

Heck yeah! Robin and Clapton are my go-to middle pickup guys for Strat tones.

@RR-ho5ek Год назад

I made a similar tele out of an original American fat telecaster, which already had the humbucker, and added a middle pickup, a Seymour Duncan tapped quarter pounder bridge, which I leave tapped as the standard position, a super switch, and my own wiring tricks, until it was exactly what I wanted. It has been my number one for quite a while now, and has been on the road with me through many gigs. There is nothing more versatile.

@VertexEffectsInc Год назад

Sounds amazing!

@agtrst Год назад

Great video, player, and guitar. Thanks for showing us what the guitar can do. I have a Fender Am P2, Fender Tele in HSS, and recently got a G&L Tele (ASAT classic tribute). After a good set up, I find myself play the G&L a lot more than the other two. The MFDs can put out great tones. The grunge and bite you get is inspiring but still nice to play jazz stuff with the neck. G&Ls make really great guitars.

@robertmahoney1662 Год назад

Killer guitar Mason. Great noodling around too...I'm a proud original owner of a 1999 black guard asat classic semi-hollow, a fantastic custom shop quality build. Super chunky V-neck with gun-oil vintage tint, & magnetic field single coils summoning all the classic tele and 59 LP sounds. G&L ARE the "REAL ONES" for sure...

Gonna finish paying off my fullerton deluxe doheny (jazzmaster style) in lake placid blue literally tomorrow, should be here next week this time. So stoked on G&L at the moment. I had been wanting a music man for a few years, but the cost was prohibitive and I finally remembered g&l. I wished I could afford to get a quartersawn neck and a matching headstock, so maybe next time and that practically takes it up to music man costs anyways, but just a little cheaper. Cheers Mason! p.s. i've become obsessed with g&l for the past few months, i hawk their online store for b-stock stuff now and watch all their youtube videos

@VertexEffectsInc Год назад

They're amazing guitars, the Custom Shop is really knocking it out of the park!

@myeyesarewaiting Год назад

The guitar that has never left my side is a Tele with a strat pickup in the middle. However I'm using a freeway 10 way switch (two banks of five). Can do all the strat positions, all the Tele positions plus bridge and middle in series, bridge and neck in series, middle and neck in series and all three in parallel. None of the series sounds are classics but... give a helluva kick and have their uses.

I custom ordered an ASAT Blues Boy from Rudy’s in Manhattan (back when they were on 48th Street) and yes, it was pretty great but the fret work was surprisingly pretty bad (I’ve seen better fret work on $300 Asian imports) - a little heavier than I expected but after I got a fret job, it was a pretty great guitar. Loved the 7/8 body size and brass slotted bridge barrels.

@dailygiftsforever Год назад

One aspect of the ASAT or any of G&L guitars and bass lines.... the pickups they create are spectacular.

@VertexEffectsInc Год назад

Yes!

@benjaminhawthorne1969 Год назад

Steve Howe of YES has had a custom Telecaster with a single-coil in the bridge, for that "icepick through the forehead" Tele bite and a humbucker in the neck position for mellow, Jazzy tones. Andy Summers of The Police also played a Tele with a humbucker in the neck. I had an American Fender Telecaster H/S, which had that same pickup configuration plus "5-Way Switching." It was THE MOST VERSATILE GUITAR that I have EVER owned!

@VertexEffectsInc Год назад

We mention Andy Summers and Keith Richards. I think they’re the biggest most commonly associated with the neck humbucker and Tele bridge, however neither used coil splits I don’t think nor had a middle pickup.

@VertexEffectsInc Год назад

They’re wonderful instrument and can be had for the $3000-3500 range. That’s about $1500-$2000 less than the equally equipped Fender.

@mattbrillhart2922 Год назад

Try a Z-3! It has three Z-coil pickups which are fantastic. Mine has a 6-way switch to get 1-5 strat positions and middle Tele position for bridge and neck. I loved to G&L about 10 years ago and have never looked back. Some don’t like their pickups but I’ve really liked them. I have owned basses and guitars.

@VertexEffectsInc Год назад

I'll have to check it out!!!

@bks252 Год назад

I have a Will Ray Signature that has those Z coil pickups. These are a little hotter than the regular pickups in the Comanche. I love my G&L’s. My Will Ray also has a B bender on it with skull inlays for fret markers. Also have a Legacy HD and a Bluesboy. In my opinion some of the finest instruments out there and very overlooked.

I absolutely LOVE my G&L. I dont have much experience with them, and have never had the pleasure of trying the USA made ones, but my G&L Tribute S-500 is amazing. I would love to be able to own a USA model one day. I own a Player Series Tele and even though i prefer a Tele over a Strat, the G&L surpasses the quality of the MIM Tele by a long shot and the G&L is 200 bucks cheaper. Mason, have u messed with the pole heights on the MFD pickup yet? Its surprising how much of a tonal difference it can make. I had my G&L for almost 2 years and never messed with the poles until about a month ago. I just love how u can fine tune the pickup to your liking. Such a cool idea. I really want to replace my Player Series Tele with an ASAT. Cant afford a custom, but even the Tribute ASAT would be nice.

I agree. I rediscovered G&L a couple of years ago. I had one back in the 80s when they first came out. It was ok, but unremarkable. But a few years ago I bought one of the Asian Bluesboys for cheap, because I liked the color : ) I had little expectations for it, but when I got it I was blown away by how well it played and sounded, so much so that I wound up getting a Made In Fullerton one. I considered a custom shop one, actually for just a neck, but the wait was longer than I wanted, so I passed. But I agree- while everybody is certainly aware of G&L, they seem to be somewhat in the unsung hero class of guitars. And you don't have to spring for a custom shop one or even a Fullerton one. They're nicer, yes, but even this cheap Asian one is a total bargain. You get 95% of the top dollar ones for 1/5 the price.

Great video, can you tell us more about that AC30?

@VertexEffectsInc Год назад

Is sorta a bastardized one that’s got 60’s iron but been repaired a lot with modern parts and it’s been converted to a head with a new head cabinet.

Nice combination of options. I own a number of G&Ls so I could see how your Custom Shop guitar shares traits with them. My G&L ASAT Classic Bluesboy is a semi hollow with the standard humbucker in the neck. (Not splitable) That was an option order from the standard USA made models. Next is my G&L ASAT Classic S with the 3 MFD pickups. (Nashville Tele style) Those two guitars would be the DNA of your Custom Shop plus options. I also have an ASAT Classic S Alnico. (Nashville Tele style with three Alnico pickups instead of MFDs.) Both Classic S guitars have the push/pull volume pot for the extra pickup options as with yours. Winter NAMM 2019 I got to visit the G&L factory with Leo's tools, equipment and design DNA all through the place. Congrats on the new guitar. I can feel and relate to your excitement.

Sounds amazing! Although I'm pretty sure the studio version of Sultans is middle pickup on its own (not middle and bridge)

@adamheathguitar Год назад

@@VertexEffectsInc you can hear it in the chorus riff and solos! I did a playthrough of the first solo using the middle pickup on my Strat, I reckon it's pretty close! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Yb27ouhIhNE.html&ab_channel=NorthsideGuitarTuition

It almost looks like your hair is blowing in the wind when you play the Hotel California solo, and whether or not that's intentional, it works. I didn't realize you were so good at playing guitar, seriously +1

I think my AC was on. Speaker cab is in an iso room so you can’t hear the fan.

Nice Tele...great pickups & cleverly wired...that G&L Tele asat style pickup is really good...i like their bass pickups to...they done a really good job...it is a Tele on steroids...yep,Jimmy used a Tele on 'Stairway to Heaven'...argued with Gibsonites about this yrs ago..lol..they aged it just right...very nice...enjoy 🎸

My favorite guitar company. The Modern Classic neck profile is pretty magical. I personally prefer the MFD in the neck position to a humbucker but that’s me.

Yes, great guitars!

So your guitar sound fantastic ! I got a G&L Legacy USA SSS… it is a pretty sic guitar . I am not sure why many guitar heads pass this brand even the ones before 2006 which were all done how they were in early fender years. Leo had taken most of his guitar machines and placed them at the G&L shops to run G&L.

@@VertexEffectsInc Aaaany chance you'd give the pot and cap values? You pushed me over the edge - doesn't take much :-) and I grabbed a mint used tribute bb thinline. Has SD antiquity bridge and neck but I'm switching to a Seth and putting a Lollar 64 strat in the middle all just so I'm not ripping you off too shamelessly :-D

I have a Strat and a LP. Almost all the music I want to play is covered by one of these. I love the Strat sound but I find it so much harder to play than the LP; my hand and forearm get fatigued much, much faster. The Strat is a USA Deluxe from a decade ago (us10088164). The LP is a '96 Standard. Is there a guitar out there where I can get that Strat sound but with a neck that is more like the LP experience? I don't know what it is that makes playing the LP feel different (scale length?). This channel is excellent at explaining the science of tone so I'm hoping you can answer.
