[@robcarter6599]

I’ve watched 20 videos on this guitar and this is the only one that covered everything I wanted to hear! Thank you thank you thank you!

[@PooNinja]

G&L cause Leo Fender Couldn't stop making things better :)

[@GL_Guitars]

Thanks, Cory, and hello from our new channel! 🙏

[@mikepj1025]

Just bought one of these in sonic blue. Absolutely blown away at the tones and playability. G&l needs to be more talked about

[@xunliu8696]

That bridge gain sound is just brutal! Straight up hair metal style

[@barbmelle3136]

From Leo: Nice demo. Great sounds. I think I have just found the next guitar on my list.

[@Furtheronmusic]

Really nice guitar. I've built a mahogany strat type myself. To my ears a less harsh/brittle sound compared to say alder or esp basswood

[@mza1402]

Great demo. You got to demo a comanche, to me the most interesting g&l

[@MassimoPrimiero]

I have a S500 Tribute and I really love It, I bought It 7 years ago and the only defect is the overweight of the body because that serie was made with very heavy ash and despite the beautiful look the weight is 5 Kg not so comfortable in a normal use , for all the rest nothing to say awesome Guitar.

[@andrewkepsonmusic7400]

Massimo Primiero my ASAT is WAY heavier than a fender tele. I think I’m gonna pick one of these up too, I’m hoping it’s not as heavy

[@ReverendHellbilly]

I love the tone control. Genus idea

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

This strat sounds as good as it looks.. I'm smitten!! ✌️🤓

[@CoryMura]

Would sound better in your hands 👐

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

@@CoryMura Not really..its sounded great with you playing as it is :)

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

Has a real deep sound 😍 kinda takes me away....

[@alanlatimer1024]

I have this same guitar got it 2 and half weeks ago I love it's so versatile so many tones available from it

[@ivvatchvideos]

Wonderful review. This color looks so much better in your video.

[@DarkendSun]

Very nice Corey. I have G&L Tribute Legacy in that same color and those guitars are very close to the same except for the pickups I'm loving the sound of it but I do need to go have it set up because it wasn't the greatest setup out of the box.

[@jongoodman4622]

Thanks very informative. I am looking for a new guitar, and your video has been very helpful. Thanks again.

[@AnthonyCarr-k7k]

What amp are you using. Sounds amazing

[@marigner]

I think G&L should design a better Logo, .... (yes that wouldnt change the sound, but maybe it would sell better ;-)) Nice video btw. how is the neck shape ?

[@ricklachaine5406]

Well done on the video. I have one of these in Sonic Blue I purchased last year. Although it appears to be setup properly and signed off by a QA person at G&L in USA apparently, the guitar does not stay in tune at all when using the wammy bar. New strings, stretched on install, using the bar for light vibrato, some strings just do not come back in tune. The electronics are not very durable either. After about 2 months of playing, the switch barely works. The bridge pickup is also very weak and thin compared to the middle and neck pickups. You have to have the bass control all the way up for it to sound decent. Doing so however makes the other pickups way too bassy. Always have to fiddle with the bass control when switching between pickups. Pulling on the treble knob to activate neck and bridge pickups together almost requires pliers to pull up. I’ve been playing guitar since I’m 12 and still playing at 64. Played semi-professionally from the age of 17 to 32 so I’m pretty familiar and versed on quality of guitars. Sure an affordable G&L, but what’s the point if you have to spend a fair amount of money to fix setup, change electronics, pickups, and possibly tuners?

[@davidmartinez9804]

you might have gotten a lemon, that shouldn't be happening.

[@GER-ju3tn]

Excelente your análisis. And excelent guitar. Thank you

[@mokshathrumusic3277]

Is there a huge difference between the Fullerton model vs this one ? Thanks.

[@jbolo5378]

Gorgeous guitar and sounds AMAZING

[@dragan4658]

Beautiful colour on this amazing sounding guitar! Get a black pickguard and you're set lol. Awesome playing Cory!

[@davidnieto3357]

Thank You Cory. Great player. Beautiful guitar.

[@rlta04]

Is that irish ale finish?

[@dragan4658]

Bravo! Das ist wunderbar Cory! 🙏🤟

[@waldemarpierzchalski]

I just ordered one but with maple fretboard, still mahogany body, can't wait till it arrives.

[@mwcarde]

I see conflicting specs on the fretboard some listing it as Brazilian Cherry and others listing it as Rosewood...interesting

[@chrisbirch4066]

How much did it cost?what is the thickness of the body?

[@Doug5524]

Great demo of a very nice sounding guitar, I live in the UK and to make things easier Andertons music in Guildford GU1 4RF and at a good price it's the shop I use thanks Cory

[@gerrygreen1]

Late to the party but just bought this beauty from Andertons. Should be here tomorrow 😱

[@davemaid6741]

Love my 2017 s500 tribute!

[@GiannisSKonstantinidis25]

If the neck had satin finish, it would be perfect. Other than that I love it!

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

I want one of these now, g thanks ;)

[@Cindarr1]

The fretboard is actually cherry (thinking about getting one and did my homework)

[@enzoyomonamori8208]

Cuánto es su precio aproximado?

[@Miguel_Madureira]

3 pieces body? Always great vids.

[@CoryMura]

3 piece body on mine...exactly

[@JakaMori]

This or the new mexican player series strat? Costs about the same i guess :)

[@CoryMura]

For me its the G&L. The fulcrum vibrato with the big block and the ptb-system is making the point.

[@JakaMori]

@@CoryMura Thanks. I was wondering about the quality of the trem, but it looks like it's top notch. And these gl pickups sound so good and are very versatile. Probably much better than the mex player series. What about the neck, is it like super comfy? I know I love the mex fender necks, but didn't get to try a g&l yet.

[@DimitrisDr3am]

@@JakaMoriI had the same choice to make, and decided on the G&L. From what I have heard the g&L neck is a little wider than the strats.

[@vym3319]

Great looking guitar.

[@tomdameek]

Stunning looking Cory but it doesn’t sound like a much Strat to me. Which is the whole point of buying one.

[@CoryMura]

Maybe check out a S500 without a mahogany body

[@tomdameek]

I would actually love one of their Asat Deluxe Tele’s they are amazing. Hopefully you will get to check one out sometime.

[@ggriffaw]

A G&L Legacy has more of a traditional strat sound.

[@DimitrisDr3am]

@@ggriffaw yep you are correct, the MFD pickups give it a fuller beefier tone than the typical strat tone. The Legacy has a similar "strat" pickup system..

[@charlie-obrien]

The MFD pick ups and the Passive Treble Bass system of controls makes it very easy to get a "Strat" sound. Just dial the treble to about 7 and have the bass on 10 and voi'la you have a beautiful strat sound.

[@The_Traken]

great sound great song

[@teslab1517]

So gut wie hier in diesem Video hast du in keinem anderen gespielt, warum nicht ?

[@CoryMura]

Muss an der Gitarre 🎸 liegen.. Na, vielleicht übe ich auch zwischendurch

[@teslab1517]

Ist aber auch ein echt cooles Gerät mit super Sound ; - )

[@2000SkyView]

Nice review, specs may not be totally correct.

[@avjake]

If they could manage to build that thing without a pick guard, I'd be in love.

[@olivarionline]

Nice strat... but it's mahogany and not mahagony hehe

[@CoryMura]

the german word is "mahagoni"..so thats confusing for me. thanks!

[@olivarionline]

@@CoryMura ah ok still I'm sure everyone understood what you said anyway... the words are very similar

[@herbertclark8760]

[@jaywells5283]

You seriously need to learn more rhythm, so you can make your timing and transitions better.

[@CoryMura]

I got rhythm, just not when editing.
