G&L F100 (Leo Fender era 1981-82) £675! £800

[Ben Jamin]

NOW ONLY £675!

Up for sale is a rather rare and unique guitar!

One of the first of Leo Fender's new designs for his last guitar company, made in the G&L Factory on Fender Avenue, California between 1981-82.
Featuring incredibly dynamic and detailed original Magnetic Field Design humbuckers, passive treble and bass cuts, three-way selector, phase switch and coil tap.

Also, it's incredibly yellow!

G&L was Leo's 'hobbyshop', started in 1980 after moving on from MusicMan; never really intended for massive sales but instead for making real quality instruments. This is very much evident in this guitar. It absolutely sings in every combination of the controls, which is an amazing thing for an instrument with so much versatility built and consequently so many different voices.

This is a real player's guitar, so it's been sold in the hope that someone can go out and gig it, instead of it being cooped up in the studio.

Drop me a message if you'd like any more info or pictures. Comes with a gigbag. No trades please, sorry!

Thanks!
Ben

There is no way I could ever use this in any meaningful way. I still fancy it though.

Couldn't say - plays/sounds great though

BUMP! Now £675

This is a genuine early '80s G&L. Probably had Leo's hands on it!*
