G&L USA Fullerton Deluxe Comanche Electric Guitar in Andromeda Black

G&L's Fullerton Deluxe Comanche model takes Leo Fender’s final iteration on the iconic S-type guitar to new heights! While retaining the classic body shape, the Comanche is otherwise a huge departure from the decades-old design — featuring unique MFD ('Magnetic Field Design') Z-Coil pickups, a versatile PTB Tone System (passive treble and bass controls) and the super-smooth Dual-Fulcrum tremolo found on many G&L instruments.

The G&L Comanche is simply a great companion for the contemporary musician looking for a flexible workhorse guitar that's a bit "different". Familiar body shape, quirky pickups, modern features, and trusted Leo Fender design. The perfect package!

Key Features

• Alder Body — A balanced-sounding, medium-weight timber that serves as an ideal sonic foundation for the flexible pickup set. Features a comfortable rear contour.
• Bolt-On Construction — Produces a snappy note response for an immediate playing experience.
• 'Modern Classic' Neck Profile — A fairly slim shape with a mild taper from 0.820" at 1st fret to 0.870" at the 12th fret. Enhanced with a slippery satin finish for fast playability.
• Medium Jumbo Frets — Offer a controllable feel for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
• Leo Fender-Designed MFD Z-Coil Pickups — Irregular split-coil shape emphasises the bass response of the lowest 3 strings and accentuates the treble of the highest strings; yielding a well-balanced tone. Distinctive design also eliminates 60-cycle hum, for noise-free single-coil sounds.
• PTB Tone System — Gives you two master tone controls, one that decreases the treble like a typical tone knob, and one that decreases the low-end. It's like having a built-in, passive 2-band EQ!
• Expander Mini-Toggle Switch — Adds two additional pickup selections when used in conjunction with the 5-position switch; enabling combinations of the neck and bridge single-coils for a T-style configuration, or all three pickups together!
• Dual-Fulcrum Tremolo — Another Leo Fender innovation! This two-pivot, low-friction design provides a smooth and "silky" feel that allows you to bend notes up as well as down. The hardened steel bridge plate pivots on knife-edge bolts which are set into massive brass inserts anchored into the body; yielding brilliant sustain and resonance.
• G&L Deluxe Gig Bag — Included is a sturdy, lightweight and water-resistant soft case that sports a pair of shoulder straps for convenient travel.

Reviews

"Yes, there is some time-warp vibe — we guess you could now call that ‘vintage’ — but it’s simply the excellent feel and those different flavours that kept us playing it. In fact, this is the sort of guitar that the more you play, the more you discover. It covers a lot of tonal ground and to some extent blurs the lines between single-coils and humbuckers; it has a low noise floor, which could help in recording or higher gain situations, too." — Dave Burrluck, Musicradar
