G&L Guitars LB-100 Build To Order USA 3-Tone Sunburst
Born from Clarence Leo Fender’s CLF Research company, founded in 1966, the G&L brand and instruments marked the final chapter of his legendary career when they were launched in 1980. G&L instruments benefited from his lifetime of creativity and innovation, and throughout the 1980s, his groundbreaking new instruments became icons loved by musicians around the world.
Today, G&L instruments continue to be crafted in his historic factory on Fender Avenue in Fullerton, California – The Birthplace of Bolt-on™. Discover why Leo famously declared, “G&L guitars and basses are the best instruments I have ever made.”
A Legendary Heritage By the late 1970s, Clarence Leo Fender and his CLF Research company had completed his consultancy for CBS/Fender, designed and manufactured the original Music Man instruments, and were looking forward to launching a new brand.
Together with former Fender employees George Fullerton and Dale Hyatt, Leo launched G&L Instruments, incorporating advanced features derived from his decades of experience in redefining what was possible in an electric guitar and bass.
The G&L LB•100 debuted twenty years ago in response to bassists seeking a subtle evolution of the p-style platform. Featuring a slightly streamlined body shape for improved comfort and balance, the LB•100 also introduced the G&L Saddle Lock bridge, enhancing note definition and sustain.
The tone of the LB•100 remains unchanged, thanks to a faithful recreation of the original LB•100 Alnico V pickup, wound in-house at G&L.
Manufactured in Leo Fender’s historic G&L facility on Fender Avenue in Fullerton, California, the LB•100 is now available with a wide range of custom options, including various body and neck woods, finishes, neck profiles, and pickguard materials.
