G&L Changes And The Effect

[NickHorne]

After a lifetime of some frustration with guitars from the big names (which I bought, like a lot of folk in Europe, out of ignorance and insecurity with anything else), my last remaining Fender is about to go to market to help fund my new Asat. There'll still be two Danelectros, one for slide + a baritone, cos they work. But everything else will be G&L. Finally got to this realisation after my 60th birthday....

Guitar quality generally has been rising for 20 years, but G&L's are just massively better at getting the priority attributes right; design, materials and construction are all the proper, grown-up real thing and they have to be as near to 1950's quality as we could wish for.

But how to sell some more in the UK, I don't really know. Tributes have found their marketplace slot, which is hopefully great for the company, but a public-awareness leap for the USA axes remains to be masterminded. Lots of insecurity is perpetuated by the other big names, and the enthusiast press.

G&Ls - are only the guitars fenders could have been. As for the necks, mine is a gloss neck and is as slippery as a wet fish's wet bits......

not sticky at all Sirmy - i suggest you try one before commenting further.....
