	New in at Clevedon Music Shop, we are proud to be stocking Leo Fender and George Fullerton's final legacy to the guitar world: G & L Guitars.


	George Fullerton is often quoted thus "My partner and I built the world's most famous guitar & then we set out to build the best". Leo Fender is well documented as saying "G&L Guitars are the finest instruments I ever built".

G&L have a number of patents that do not appear on any other guitars including those designed by George and Leo. They include Magnetic Field Pickups™ which are louder yet have much less background noise than other pickups, the Saddle Lock Bridge™ which vastly improves sustain, The Dual Fulcrum Tremolo™, Tri Tone circuitry ™ (PTB) tone controls and their own unique way of inserting truss rods that again is a major improver of sustain. The Tribute series which is made in the Far East have the same patented parts and feature the same pickups used on the USA guitars which are made in the Fullerton California Custom Shop.

Today, after Leo fender's passing the G&L factory continues production as Leo would have wanted, preserving the uniqueness of G&L and respecting the vision of its founder, Leo's private workshop, the epicentre of his creativity, remains untouched as it was on his last day and has been visited by music people from around the world. The people of G&L, continue to build the instruments with love, dedication and great skill. Chairman John C. McLaren said, "G&L will always be willing to make changes. Leo Fender was a symbol of change and evolution for the benefit of musicians but for any change that is considered, we must first ask ourselves, 'Would Leo have wanted it this way?' If yes, then we do it. If not, then we will not. We always want to feel that Leo Fender would be proud of today's G&L.".

G&L Tribute instruments are the eminently affordable range of G&L but they are still a step above the usual quality of instruments made overseas. George's number one requirement of these instruments is that they are Guitars that Leo would be proud of. To this end only pickups made in G&L's Fullerton California facility are used. These are the self same pickups as the ones used on USA custom shop G&Ls. The resulting sound sets the Tribute range apart from other similar priced, and for that matter, many more expensive instruments.


	The hardware is manufactured to the highest standard, no corners are cut, and you can really hear and feel the difference in quality, output and tone when compared to similarly priced instruments. SPEC:
