Really enjoyed seeing the build. Thanks for posting.

This I truly enjoyed. As of owner of two G&Ls it was a nice peek into why. CLF Research L•1000 and Tribute Series JB-2.

a fun watch and very fun soundtrack!

[@sgt.grinch3299]

That is an amazing instrument. Nice job on the relicing.

I can just imagine Leo's reaction!!

still cant wrap my head around the relic concept .. I see how its done , But I cant understand why .. or why anyone would desire the fake worn look.. I wear out all my guitars the old fashioned way .. and I worked at Alembic for 40 years,,

picked up an Espada a couple years ago and love it. I was disappointed when they went away from the split coils and only offered humbuckers. The split coils are such great sounding and versatile pickups. On a different note, I will never understand paying to have a guitar dinged up. I don't mind if I bump or nick my guitar, but at least I know it was from use

i can do without the (aging) never liked that, BUT G&L is my favorite. my next guitar would be a CLF s500.

[@jamesjohnson9851]

I agree. It’s a new guitar. Why beat up it up.

[@paulocosta3007]

Hey guys! i have a question... could i put any of your MFD pickups in a soapbar p90 socket? hmm Maybe the doheny ones? Thanks

[@armandosoto9439]

I have a Doheny. They are look Jazzmaster size. It would be nice if they started making a P90 size.

[@paulocosta3007]

@@armandosoto9439 Indeed! The mfds on the neck position in either Asat special / Asat Classic / Z3 are awesome as i have heard. It would be to fit an Epiphone wilshire in the future. Maybe the fallout neck p90 made by them would not be a bad ideia. Maybe im a genius... ahah kidding But yeah... Would love to have the sound without guitar modifications

[@paulocosta3007]

going for one of the guitars i mentioned either way ahah. But it would be nice to play anything and BAAM! G&L neck sound

[@graemero5532]

What a beautifully made guitar 😍 and great video, but why does a touring musician need fake aging 🤨

[@teddymuldoon1905]

Wish I could afford one! Don’t need a relic though. I’m clumsy 😂

[@Jim_Cox]

Hey Dave, or anyone that knows; is the Espada body a bit wider than a Fallout body? I love the Fallout and am considering picking up an Espada but I'm a big dude that feels a little out of place with the Fallout because it is pretty small (a short scale version would be neat though... hint hint). The regular Espadas seem more rare than the H-H these days at the big online retailers. Maybe I'll have to order a custom shop or BTO if they are offered.

[@expert_fretwork]

The Fallout guitar is a touch narrower than an Espada. Espada Dimensions are roughly the same as a Telecaster with some more rounded corners. The Fallout guitar is essentially the same body shape as the old SC-1, SC-2, and SC-3 models.

Safety first! Those machine operators need to wear their safety glasses...

[@nigellanjuat3294]

G&L guitar 🎸 🇲🇾👍🌏🕊️

[@mojostephen]

Great video, BUT - I had to stop watching when he was about to (IMHO destroy) relic the beautiful finish! Sorry, no purposely reliced guitars for me...

[@sometimesdimneverthin]

Same here. Had to stop when the keys came out.
