I've been quite intrigued by the G&L name after learning that it is Leo Fender 'perfecting' his original designes [strat/tele]. Anyone given these things a play? We all know and love Leo's original designes [for the most part], but who else is interested in his "finished" work?
Some things i've noticed
The large rectangular pickups look 'odd'
the saddle lock idea is really interesting and i like the bigger bridge
headstocks are dead ugly, leo had it right the first time
ASAT Special is a dumb name for Telecaster

I've played some SC-2s and SC-3s, they weren't that great but in need of a set-up, seemed basically alright... would rather have a nice strat fwiw.
I hate the way the pickups look and the pickguard-less designs but that's not a big deal unless you're hung up on yourself. Jazzmasters look weird too, we're just used to them.
I don't play modern G&Ls because they're out of my price range (not to say I wouldn't spend that much on a guitar, just that it wouldn't be a G&L if I did).

yea, I actually really love the way all the G&L pickups look. I wish they would sell their strat pickups (w/ the hex-nut poles) separately.paul_ wrote:I hate the way the pickups look and the pickguard-less designs but that's not a big deal unless you're hung up on yourself.

Personally I love G&L's fantastic guitars, better built than the Fender American series, just no re-sale value.
