Can I visit the G&L factory?

The place to discuss, post photos, video, and audio of the G&L products (US instruments, stomp boxes, etc.) produced after 1991, including the amps & gear we use with them.

Can I visit the G&L factory?

Post by Lifesonfan2112 »

Hi guys.

For the last ten years I have been exclusively playing Gibson Les Pauls. Now I really want a single coil strat-like guitar. I've decided to go with G&L over Fender because of the custom options without the custom price.

But before I pick out parts, I want to make sure the guitar is to my liking. I am mostly concerned with the neck (string spacing and neck radius). I don't want to choose parts online without feeling it in person.

I live about 20 minutes from the G&L factory in Fullerton. Does anyone know if it's possible for a regular player like myself to visit the factory and tryout their guitars? Handle all the necks, look at all the different finishes, etc.

Glad I don't live in the vicinity of your store Tim, I have to spend about 1 hr on city buses to get to mine and have trouble not walking out of their store with stuff... More options = more chance of leaving with something :D

This reminds me that I'm overdue for a pilgrimage to that hallowed ground on El Camino Real.

The Chicken Store!
