G&L Guitars are Leo Fender's ultimate design, and although they are often compared to the classic Stratocaster and Telecaster they are so much more than that! G&L Guitars have their own unique sound, feel and look that make them stand out from a mile away. The Tribute Series is their more affordable range but most have American-made pickups which makes them a great bang for your buck!

Firsthand testimony: G&L not only makes great-playing, well-put-together guitars in their Tribute line, they deal with the consumer fairly and stand behind their instruments.

[@dashripkin]

Can confirm: G&L Tribute series is the absolute best "bang for your buck" out there, hands down.

[@sirlost94]

Especially when musician’s friend has their “crazy deal of the day” and you can score one for $300

[@sirlost94]

@Richard Moore tribute ASAT classic is on it every other month

[@ryangodfrey3644]

Excessively harsh don’t you think?

[@rhoff7272]

They just had the Olympic white asat classic on there last week for 299

[@Riverdeepnwide]

@Richard Moore I’ve bought three G&L Tributes on MF’s SDOTD 🤷🏼‍♂️ Great purchases by the way 👍🏻

[@gregoryhall3156]

Glen Campbell played a custom G&L Comanche with a hardtail G&L bridge and a single volume and tone knob in a sparkle blue finish during his farewell tour-saw him twice on that tour and the guitar was gorgeous and Glen’s playing was awesome and amazing as always.

[@charlie-obrien]

Referring to G&L Tributes as "Affordable" is technically accurate, but I think of the Tribute line as the "Best Value" available in electric guitars. They play like 3 times their price and nothing priced lower can come close to the quality of components and the build. I have 3 G&L's (2 Tributes and 1 Fullerton), and by far these are the finest "out of the box" guitars I've ever experienced. Now with adding to this line, they have only improved those measures. Last, I will say thanks to Anderton's for backing the G&L brand. The company you keep, says a lot about yourself!

[@graemero5532]

I have a custom build and a tribute and both are great. The value for money is second to none.

[@budgetguitaristcom]

G&L gets ignored a lot because people forget about them. I'm in favor of them doing more marketing, but hey, it's not my company. Great playing, great instruments for the money.

[@kissfan1701]

Well they still have Leo’s design. And a lot more affordable

[@heggy_69]

Less marketing probably means they can sell the guitars cheaper

[@markwhitelaw7192]

Agreed. I have a Korean tribute ASAT I bought about 15 yrs ago from a shop that no longer exists. Hard to find any local dealers here in Canada. But the guitars are amazing! Wish there were more around so we could actually try them out. Fantastic guitars and more interesting (and better IMO) than Fenders that you see everywhere.

[@kissfan1701]

Yeah, bought a tribute jazz bass about 3 months ago. Alnico pickups and I really can’t tell a difference

[@jgenoese]

G&L and musicman are both superior to fender

[@larrygreen262]

I have had two G&L Tribute guitars, an ASAT and a Legacy, for a couple of years now and I love them. They always bring a smile to my face whenever I play them.

[@matzer8846]

Jikes ... this Comanche is just ... WOW! Great demo! Thanks a lot!

[@johnnywatkins]

Loved the sound you guys got out of the ASATs in the closing jam really cool

[@RangKlos]

"You're like my wife, she never let me finish (got interrupted again)...". Priceless.

[@scottsanders1960]

Great-looking guitars. I especially liked the red Tele-esque model that Pete played.

[@alanpettibone]

I have several G&L Fullerton guitars and I would put them over anything made by Fender, even custom shop. The Tributes seem like a tremendous value.

[@orryfishburne5326]

They look gorgeous!! I own a Tribute S-500 and it plays and sounds really nice. I would love to get one of these. I love the finish

[@marksanders2784]

That blue ASAT is gorgeous, as are those burled poplar tops. I have a Classic Bluesboy ASAT and the value for money is ridiculously good. They should be far more popular than they are.

[@kremepye3613]

Greetings from one year on! How do you rate it in 2023? Did it hold up to the test of time?

[@ohkee]

Great solos both of you man!

[@coyotekiller93]

It’s cool getting to hear Lee get better and better as they make videos. His hands move SO much smoother AND FASTER than back in the day. I know it’s just noodling, but I think it says a lot about a player. From America “good shout” 💪👌

[@24FretsGuitar]

I just love the sound of those G & L pickups.

[@briandevitt6903]

You boys are killing it today.........Pete, I'm cracking up here at your one liners.

[@GenosGlory]

I Love G&L Guitars. They are unique sounding and good build quality.

[@ccr8392]

I really dig your jam sessions on these intros. You guys have some nice vibes there. I'm going to start using these intros as backing tracks to see if I can pick up a bit of your style of playing.

[@El-Scorcho]

Surprised they didn't mention it but G&L does make a traditional sounding Tele called ASAT classic with alnicos.

[@timjones9727]

I got one of those G&L Comanche’s from Andertons yesterday! What a guitar!!

[@bushcry1]

What do you like the most?

[@jameslewis2635]

Some of the tops on these are absolutely stunning and looking at the shop front the value seems pretty good as well.

[@JpeterZoom-gt3pn]

I love the sound of these guitars...I meet someone in the late 80s who played a G&L, who was a big suzie quatro fan...never heard a bad g&L guitar...they all have great sound very full and fat sort of sound

[@johnwelch557]

Great guitars. Better than any other of 35+ guitars i have. Leo has been my hero in the guitar world since the 50's. He revolutionized us all. By one guys! Thanks fellas!

[@parvezsiddiqui3047]

Great video guys. The playing, the chat...and the guitars sound great! Thinking I may PX a Fender USA Tele for a G&L...

[@denismguitar1552]

The American made G&L guitars are fantastic!

[@rubickon9500]

what is the difference? is it made with less wood glueing?

[@xguitar123]

G&L seems to be a guitar brand that’s lost it’s way in the music world but not forgotten or played by many musicians

[@GenosGlory]

True Musicians always have at least one G&L.

[@tonymcalister9878]

Go Pete! Impressive. Nice guitars.

[@matt6288joyce]

Pete’s laugh when Lee says about getting one of his more distorted pedals made me weep haha

[@teppizini]

Just got a tribute fallout recently and it's my favorite guitar. Don't sleep on G&L

[@destroso]

Love the Commanches

[@rondeakin8876]

God what a job they have so much fun, bless em !

[@jonnybeck6723]

Boy oh boy, it's a good thing Pete donned them shades (!)

[@michaelpsions]

I own a American Legecy special, I bought it in Holland utrecht about 25 years ago. Fantastic guitar my favorite from 6 guitars including American strats, Gibson, Ibanez, To Schecters and Tokia. Excellent quality instruments.

[@viperBSG]

WOW! that intro, You rockin' it Lee!

[@danielhocker1945]

I have the blue Comanche tribute with the poplar burl. It is currently my number one and I have some wicked axes. They really got it right. I would have paid 2k for the guitar if I had to. That's how good it is.

[@danielhocker1945]

Hey did you guys show the push pull pot on the Comanche??? Hidden awesome secret feature!

[@Proberunner]

First time i see Lee kind of outplaying Pete feeling wise. That blue Semi is delicious !

[@eric000]

That intro track is so Dance worthy. 🕺

[@ERWebster]

MFD pickups are amazing, huge fan. However, they will make you use the tone and volume knob, because they pick up absolutely everything that string is doing. Especially great for rich clean tones, but under distortion a little rolling back of volume and tone to 9 each takes some of the harshness out. Of the MFD pickups, the ASAT Special is the big monster, and my favorite.

[@TWMTWM-eb1lw]

Yes, I love my ASAT Special as well.

[@Bottomdweller]

Comanche pickups are the guitar version of split-coil Precision bass pickups. That's why they don't hum.

[@acynecki]

they do look great

[@fentonwinmill]

They sound rathe gorgeous

[@johnjgibson6807]

Definitely Some Killer Guitars With a Killer Jam Session 👍👍🎶🎶🎸

[@donbourbon]

Nice to see the Headrush Pedalboard on the floor! :)

[@MichaelEdelman1954]

Had a couple of Tributes; good guitars. Got a Fullerton ASAT Special now.

[@Jeb_binch]

Waiting on a US ASAT thinline myself and it is tough. Can’t wait for it to arrive! As a fingerstyle jazz guy, I think the MFDs have a very appealing clean sound

[@MajicFreeman]

yooooo how is it!?

[@Jeb_binch]

@@MajicFreeman It’s great! I really like the neck and it sounds fantastic.

[@wasio44]

The comanche has also a push/pull system to had more pick up configurations!!

[@juggert]

G&L had commanche tributes before. I have a cream one(vintage yellow)

[@garyhoffman1]

They also had one about 15 years ago in a burst.

[@KingLoopie1]

Pete playing a guitar with a hang tag... Reminds me of Minnie Pearl! 😉😜

[@dan82dare]

Was shocked at the price for the ASAT in Candy Apple 🍎 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@JesseLeeKing]

I wasn't a fan of the poplar burl tops at first and now I own a guitar with it lol and I love that guitar. I think those tops look their best with birds eye necks which I don't have one like that yet.

[@MMcG25]

Those all look and sound amazing! Will there be any changes to solid body ASATS from G&L in 2021?

[@vadergrd]

the price is great let's hear the tones... tones are pretty good ..... love em!

[@patmillen9162]

I have a G&L Bluesboy Custom (you can pick your own specs when buying a G&L guitar) it's glorious ... ive had it over a year now and I still freak out when I pick it up occasionally because it's such a good guitar

[@robertcarpenterii2904]

I own four G&L’s, but they’re all US models and I don’t think I’ve ever played a tribute. I may have to try these new tributes!

[@activese]

Hi, really nice sounding guitars, and Lee great chops. That outro jam track Name? Like slower addicted to love, but with lesss chords, ha.Take care

[@VooT]

Bring cup editing back pls xD only OG`s know what I am talking about

[@graemero5532]

G&L guitars are freakin awesome.

[@jacobbockover1628]

Your right about the hardware the asat last I checked had brass saddles and some other nice stuff. I have 0 fenderish guitars when I save up im gonna look into the asat

very cool song references in this, Return of the Mack and No diggity

[@Drewmeister]

Love the headstock and Jerry Cantrell plays one. Nuff said!

[@ShadeHope1969]

Damn capn, that tele suits you. sounding great, Im sure you own one, if not you may wanna aquire one, that sounded sweet !!

[@robertmcbeth4147]

When I was a youth looking for a better guitar the guys at the shop were steering me towards a used Comanche. I wanted the SG because it looked cooler to me at the time. I sold the SG a long time ago but I bet I would’ve held on to the G&L.

[@michaelbrohl1625]

You have turned into quite a good player Lee since the very beginning of doing the video's.

[@Drewsep23]

Dang, Lee seems to be playing more with his ear as his talent has grown. Makes for really tasty melodic lines :)

[@clydebillingsworth8574]

Can we get a full return of the Mack cover someday? Glorious

[@randysutton2120]

It's so weird...I've had that song in my head all week, and then Pete brings it up here. :)

[@DerekHartley]

25 years old this year. Scary.

[@j.a.s.1416]

All about Squire's and G&L Tributes. But these tributes are like Player's Series quality for 2-300 Dollars cheaper. I'm sold... 🎸

[@teodelnorte]

Dude they're better than players

[@Healcraft]

literally same price as mexican fenders

[@j.a.s.1416]

@@Healcraft Sorry I guess I shouldve been more specific. Semi-hollow models....

[@Supardanil]

hot damn those ASAT pups are SMOKIN. ZZtop vibes in the outro LOL

[@DimKAt21]

Great guitars great price tags that get picked up by those who actually know🎸🎸🎸

[@kevinwagner4076]

Hi have a Tribute Comanche- -7 tonal options!! It’s also alittle fatter than a regular strat so has the fat strat sound- really the only guitar you’ll ever need has jazz tones, strat, tele. Only thing I’d change is the nut and put on a graph Tex so whammy works better- gorgeous maple flame cap with z- coils for only 5 bills with case!!!!

[@micjoe68]

Love those asat guitars with the staggered pickups!

[@micjoe68]

I mean the Comanche!

[@beefnacos6258]

the Comanche?

[@SGWinstar8844]

😎🤟🏾 Love you guys! Rock On!

[@tomo.3678]

Excellent vid as always, guys! What does ASAT mean? Saw it many times but never knew. 😎🎸🎶🎶👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻☘

[@graemero5532]

Anti Sattalite. Some G&L's are named after weapons. Commanche = attack helicopter, Espada = a sword

[@dustinpeele2748]

Looking forward to a blindfolded shoot out between the American made G&L legacy deluxe, Fender American Professional II, and anything "S" like from a custom shop/builder.

[@kipmillwee6936]

I picked up the Tribute ASAT in off white, paid very little and got a whole lot. The new semi hollow with the MFD pickups.

[@bryantwalley]

watching the intro jam with the cc on is interesting

[@miguelroldao6939]

foreign to me bye

[@davids9192]

Love the Tributes and have previously had an ASAT Classic and currently have a Doheny. I’m afraid the problem will always be on resale. Punters would rather have a name Fender or Squier dispite G& L being superior guitars when properly set up.

[@neilcorbett5057]

Simple answer. Don't sell it. My Tribute S500 is a keeper!

[@beefnacos6258]

LOL at the two guitars in the beginning. I love G&L Guitars and am a fan you could say. Those guitars on the other hand though just make me shake my head. They took a basswood body and gave it a fancier paint job and they want 750 USD for it. I Guess that shows how hard and expensive wood is getting these days.

[@SydneyDrums]

DP is a funny guy .. wicked player too (of the guitar) 😎

[@tjstevens001]

I just bought a Comanche Tribute. It had some issues out of the box, and I'm slowly working through them. I'm hoping that this guitar will be a good one.

[@shckltnebay]

Its probably been stated but dont ever try and move a magnet on vintage pickups that have the fiber bobbins, the mag can catch the wire and wreck the coil

[@JpeterZoom-gt3pn]

I got a Stratocaster guitar, telecaster guitar, a 335 guitar, a les paul guitar, a P90 epiphone casino and a Gretsch guitar and G&L is a sound of its own but not a different enough sound to have separate voice really different from all of the other guitars I have, I bought for their individual sounds, if I got the G&L Comanche tribute first before I got a Stratocaster, I would of never bought a Stratocaster.

[@jmartini8875]

You guys are not well. Therefore I love you. 💘 Killer guitars. Don't own one but could one day pull the trigger. 😎

[@RobCrawford23]

Leo did the zcoil style pickup back in the 60s with the Fender Electric XII just before Fender was sold to CBS. A lot of his 60s ideas didn't really get real attention till the 80s

[@GL_Guitars]

Thanks again guys and hello from our new channel! 🙏 #glguitars

[@fentonwinmill]

It's actually quite a processed sound, thinking 80s LA studio musicians, but yet still has the character of the instruments they are based on

[@Healcraft]

how can a magnet with wire wrapped around it be processed?

[@fentonwinmill]

@@Healcraft I know it just has that hi-def sound, no rough edges

[@Healcraft]

@@fentonwinmill ah maybe it has "too perfect" winds

[@ewetoo]

I have a tribute sb-2 a tribute ascari gt-90 and a tribute fallout, they're all amazing unique multiple grooveboxes in guitar form.

[@rickbiessman6084]

Have you ever considered doing guitars demos as livestreams? I wouldn’t mind joining you guys for some good laughs live! =)

[@OneMoreGrave]

This is NOT the greatest guitar in the world. It's just a tribute. ROCK!🎸🤘

[@shckltnebay]

Watch in 720p for better audio, 5min in I realized what Lee is playing though, getting one next week, YEAH

[@richardsandson]

The same price as an Mexican Strat and a whole lot more interesting.

[@danstringer7610]

That closing jam!!!! So ac/dc ish….loved it!

[@WillEnj0y]

I’ve had a tribute tele for years and it’s still my favourite guitar. Sounds and plays great

[@enthused7591]

Just depends on what you want really. To the same effect, the Mexican Strats are built as well as any American-made guitar and lack none of the quality in terms of hardware, AND you get the classic authentic Fender style, headstock, branding, and sound. I'd take a Mexican Fender Player strat over any of these personally, but I can see why someone with 50 guitars would buy one of these for their original styles. Plus, the Fender will ALWAYS have much better resale value, since there's always a million people looking to buy a used Fender Strat.

[@cmet8280]

Actually most of them are considerably less expensive than mex. Strat/Tele. Mexican strat/Tele are around 750 US now.

[@richardsandson]

@@cmet8280 They're literally the same price on the Andertons website

[@tomriley_bike]

[@TheDistortionist]

Actually Cap, G&L have done Tribute Comanches for a while. I have a white one that I got on their clearance section of their website for $280. The Z-Coils work so well with their PTB system.

[@madhatter8508]

Do they have similar MFD pickups with adjustable pole pieces on any bass guitars? Could you put one in a violin, viola, or cello and adjust the center two to compensate for the curve of the violin's neck?
