I own 7 G&L’s and they are my favorite instruments.
Proud owner of 5 pieces from G&L, four basses and one guitar, an Ascari (import) w/P90s. My first G&L was a red ASAT. What a monster bass. I imediately scoured the Net and but another. I was most recently impressed with my JB bass as right out of the box it was louder than my Fender Jazz basses. I credit the G&L designed pickups. But my latest addition came directly from the factory, an Imported Fallout bass. This one and the JB are my current gigging pair. Thank you for making such awesome instruments.
That's awesome that you mentioned Memo! I bought a Fullerton Deluxe Comanche a few years back and was having all kinds of tuning issues. I took it in to Memo (I 've lived in Fullerton all my life) and he spent a month on it and when I got it back...it was incredible! My 1990 Les Paul Standard was always my favorite guitar but thanks to him,,,my G&L in now my favorite! They didn't charge me a dime either! Killer customer service!
I visited the factory in May this year… it is a magical place. I can attest that G&L instruments are hand made and top notch; I just received my Custom Shop L-1000 and it is a dream.
🍃🌴🎼📝🎙️🎸🎚️📻🎙️🐦🔥That’s a lot of history and passion to pass on and put in the hands of a guitar player new or old. It goes to show you that there is a lot of souls behind a guitar other than the player.💥👌😎🎸 I love the Tribute Series ASAT, Comanche and Blues Boy🦎🐊🎼🌴🌊🍃
In 1980, I bought a blonde/natural G&L F100 Series II from a music store named Frontier Music on Tustin Ave. in the city of Orange, which is situated very close to Fullerton. One of the employees of Frontier Music was also holding down a job at G&L, and this guy came through the door of the music store carrying two G&L guitars. I was there looking at Stratocasters, and the man invited me over to the counter to take a look at the G&Ls. He told me that he brought these two guitars back to the store with him to see how they would do for sale and that these two guitars were the first two G&L guitars to be sold. I loved the natural one, and I bought it on the spot.
Proud owner of two of your fabulous guitars, a Fullerton Comanche and custom Asat Special.
Proud owner of 3 G&L Guitars. 2 x Custom Build Asat Classics & 1 x Semi hoIIow Asat Bluesboy (tribute). Great guitars. 👍🏻
I love every G&L and Music Man and Sterling product I have!!!!!
Amazing
Will need another G&L for sure
Proud owner of 3 G&L Guitars, and 1 G&L Bass 🙂
I hope we get a video about the ASAT Deluxe carved top! It’s a gorgeous instrument and I played a preowned one a few weeks ago and it sounds incredible!!
A rare video of Dave McClaren actually in the production facility. Of course it was just to make yet another of his videos. That aside I do enjoy my G&L guitars and basses. I've owned six in total and currently have four. Kiloton and M2000 bases. I've also owned an L2500. ASAT Special and Comanche guitars plus a previous ASAT Special. I wanted one of those ever since I picked up the first one back in the 1980s and I love it. I'm a long time Tele player and it's nice to have both of Leo's visions for one. My basses are outstanding and have all but replaced my Fender basses. So despite my ribbing of Dave you can see that I'm a very loyal supporter of the brand.
I don’t usually take videos of me doing stuff each day in my factory. It’s not a reality show 😃 though that idea was pitched to me like 10 years ago.
I have three currently, early 80' Skyhawk. 90's ASAT and my current fave the Solamonte super lightweight. Just had Joe Glaser install his b-bender, it gets played a lot!
That’s awesome. Next time you see Joe, please tell him Dave says hi.
These videos are as awesome as your instruments.
I own a CLF L-2000 and a Fallout bass. I am completely satisfied with both. Thanks!
I purchased my first G&L guitar a few months back. The Fullerton Deluxe Legacy. WOW! I’m missing out no more.
Great video!

I bought my G 200 (rear loaded) in about '87. At that time super strats were very popluar but I didn't care. I loved the wood and how the G&L sounded. One look and it was easy to see the quality. I geuss the story is that Leo didn't like that model because it reminded him of Les Pauls?
Question: I'm looking to replace the pickguard on one of my Legacys. What is the difference between a pre 2017 pickguard and a post 2017 pickguard?
Before then Paul 0:00 Chandler made them for us. Check out their website pickguardheaven.com for cool options
Love seeing BTS. Thanks Mr McLaren
Wish I could visit. Love my semi hollow ASAT Classic, which has cured the need for other gear. Do you guys need an accountant 😅
Does G&L make a BASS VI? Thatd be raaaad
Thatd be the first and the last thing I buy, the second they release it 😅
Maybe with a Doheny-V12 HB on the neck and chamberd for less weight. Like a giant bluesboy/deluxe-asat. Oh and start the string scale almost at the strap-pin! (Still with G&L dual fulcrum vib). I want ONE company to shift all the tone-wood underneath the string scale(!) There'll be no negative effects (except controls in the way of strumming may needed to be solved). And with a bass-VI-scale the guitar overall will not appear shortened. Would be super playable I believe, super stable, zero-neckdive. Strumming without looking would occur closer to middle of the strings, resulting in thick, less mid-trebbly sound, which might seem uncanny for an instrument with technically bass tuning and almost bass-strings on, but i think it'd be a cool challenge and would produce the ideal tone for gain and shoegazy walls of sound. You will still get all the traditional BassVI-twang, just picking closer to the edge of the guitar... This would be the only "downside" (habit of palm resting on bridge / muting strings feeling "wrong" with the hand far out close to the strap-pin). I won't stop believing the benefits of said concept are worth it. Such a guitar might almost be my 1st favorite guitar in the world. (1st favorite will remain my spilt coil Espada that I've found this August 😍 it revived my desire to play guitar at all - from the day i got it - it's so cool! 🤩)
PS: excuse for my clumsy english, I'm not a native speaker.
PPS: oh yes, it'd have fewer frets. At least accessable ones. Whatever, how many did Robert Smith need when he played his BassVI ? 😌
All the greatness at the factory yet can even resolve manufacturing defects on guitars that your customers outside of US bought.
Their wood selection is really poor. I've never before consistently come across so many "heavy weight" guitars from a US guitar builder. Sure there's light G&Ls out there but good luck finding one. The two post proprietary bridge is also not the amazing piece of manufacturing and design they claim it to be. I found them to be just as if not less stable than a gotoh 510. They're stuck in the past drawing from a well of inspiration that had gone dry before the 1970s.
I really appreciate your comment here. I have my eye on a 1988 ASAT. Looks heavy. Does it sound like a tele?
@@ac30lifestyle Some of the earlier G&L guitars had bodies made of soft maple and they had a reputation as heavy guitars. I don't know about 1988 but ask the seller to weigh it. The Jumbo MFD pickups are very tele-ish with a little more output, midrange and clarity.
@@tiki_trash thanks for your input. It's been useful
@@ac30lifestyle Seriously, if you like teles and you can get a hold of a Leo era ASAT for a good deal, buy it.
