Are Tribute Series instruments still made in Japan?

Post by Craig »

As I understand it, the Japan G&L Tribute Series production stopped sometime in late 2016.

I asked Dave McLaren in January 2017 about it and he replied:
Hi Craig,

Happy New Year to you too!

At present there is no production in Japan as the range is being reevaluated by our new Japan distributor which officially began December 1st.
It may be a few months before more is known.

Thanks, Craig.

Today, I did another follow up on this with Dave to find out if Tribute Series production has started up again in Japan.
Here is his reply:

Hi Craig,

It has not. For now the distributor is focusing on Fullerton and Indonesia Tribute.

Thanks, Craig.

The current G&L distributor in Japan is :
Yamano Music Co., Ltd.
2-1-4, Yanagibashi
Taito-ku, Tokyo
111-0052, Japan
