Anyone know of Artists using G&L guitars?

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.

Anyone know of Artists using G&L guitars?

Post by blargfromouterspace »

I don't really know of any 'big' artists playing G&L instruments (aside from those artists with their own signature models).

So who is using them? Youtube links and photos would be much appreciated here!

On the main G&L website they have an Artists page.

Hope this helps.

I would have to say bottom half is not the best vid to introduce people to Jake/ Umphrey's.
Try these
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MaK2OcQ9-E (40's Theme on an s-500 deluxe)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MaK2OcQ9-E (Glory on s-500 butterscotch)

I bet jake has resulted in more G&L sales then half the other artists combined.

Also some ppl might know Will Ray from the hellicasters, but not nearly as many a JC.

This was true for much of 09' However in 2010 he has played almost every show with the orange s-500 deluxe and a few shows with the butterscotch s-500 and a few with the becker. Many of his fans myself included had let him know that he should stick with G&L's and he recognized that is the classic cinninger tone. As cool as the becker looks, I feel those guitars are not designed with a tremelo in mind and the fact that he has it on there it goes out of tune fairly often.

going forward I would expect to see almost all G&L and rarely the Becker & the Moog guitar.
