    G&L is Fender. The down turn of Fender started with the CBS buy out. G&L is the real deal. I'm 73 and have been onboard with G&L since the early 80's. I'm still pushing the Blues. You want a Strat buy a G&L Legacy. Peace Los Angeles

    For P90's it's Yamaha Revstar.

    I sold both of them.

    Not entering the contest because I already own an ASAT Classic (thin line with a Rosewood board). It’s the first nice electric guitar I’ve ever owned and I almost cry when I touch it. The MFD is one of the most underrated neck pickups speaking as someone who mostly plays jazz.

    I'm late for the giveaway ‼️😂🤣 BUT I'm a Fender guy, love my strat. Now I checked out a professional 2 telecaster and loved it, but didn't buy it yet ( thank God). Fender has gotten too corporate. So I went looking at a G&L Fullerton ASAT CLASSIC and I'm impressed. G&L I played was light, the body reminds me of an Ibanez AZS Prestige and Fender telecaster, bottom line is G&L is a better built guitar than a Fender, it's a Fender on steroids ‼️👍

G&L had Jerry Cantrell for a while. They really need to get their products into the hands of influencers of all kinds, not just RUclipsrs, but bands, retailers, media (movies, TV, ), programs...
      G&L also has the "headstock problem" which a lot of people don't like and I think would be an easy fix w/o a major change.

    It's the greatest guitar I've ever owned. Mine is a Indonesian ASAT classic tribute. It doesn't quite sound like a tele. Not in a bad way. They just have two distinct sounds. The ONLY thing and I do mean the ONLY thing I don't like about the MFD pickups is they're noisy. I haven't ever had the privilege of playing in their humbucker selection. But the MFD single coils sound great clean but are hella noisy in high gain situations.

  • @simontemplar3359
    @simontemplar3359 Год назад

    I think he absolutely did. Fender guitars are cool and all, but G&L, in my opinion is what happens when a company cares more about innovation and improving than making $$$$ hand over fist. I have two G&L's (An ASAT tribute and a Fallout Tribute), and everything from the bridges on those guitars, the pickups G&L uses ( same for the US made and the foreign sourced models) is head and shoulders above Fender. Also, Fender can (in my opinion) F off after the Joe Strummer Cashgrab..er.. sorry signature tele. They basically dug up his grave and shat in it, in my opinion. That's why I will never buy another Fender or Squier instrument.

I'm sure the US made one's are top notch, with much better hardware.

Its the only strat i love all the positions in. On more 60s style ones that cost more that ive tried sound incredible in the neck and good but not as good in the bridge while the in betweens dont speak to me. And to get the equivalent from fender id have to pay way more.

    Corey, I am always impressed by your videos and playing. G&L has been on my list of wants but never bought one.
