G&L was Leo Fender's final venture, and it's therefore no surprise why many instruments from their ranges have a familiar look. Taking inspiration from a classic offset design, the Doheny is a punchy-sounding guitar.

G&L's Tribute series represents the affordable side of its guitar and bass catalogue. That doesn't mean that the instruments from this series are bad however, as many Tribute models feature G&L's most adored innovations, including MFD pickups and 'Dual Fulcrum' tremolo systems. The G&L Tribute Doheny is certainly no exception.
Featuring a light Basswood body, the Doheny is similar to many of its counterparts in the Tribute range when it comes to its construction. Basswood may be considered as a cheap tonewood to some, but it's actually a favoured choice for many guitarists, who appreciate its forgiving weight and balanced tonal qualities.
Joined with a bolt-on Hard Rock Maple neck, this material guarantees that unmistakable snap, which allows notes to really cut through in a mix. Dependent on which colour option you go for, the G&L Tribute Doheny is available with either Maple or Brazilian Cherry fingerboards.
G&L has conceived many innovations, and their MDF single-coils are probably the most acclaimed. Known for their balanced output and low-noise, the Doheny is fitted with the larger ‘wide-bobbin’ versions, which have a sound that is more akin to a P90. Projecting a focused mid-range tone, these pickups don't lose any of the sparkly top-end you’d come to expect from single-coils.
G&L Tribute Doheny models are also installed with their smooth ‘Dual Fulcrum’ tremolo systems. Forgoing the vintage-style ‘6-screw’ mounting design, the ‘Dual Fulcrum’ vibrato is fitted via two mounting-posts, which results in a low-friction design. Giving you a more controllable feel, this tremolo lets you not only lower the pitch but raise it too.
