G&L Tribute Comanche Electric Guitar in Emerald Blue Metallic

G&L's Tribute Comanche model takes Leo Fender’s final iteration on the iconic S-type guitar to new heights! While retaining the classic body shape, the Tribute 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. In fact, these are the very same electronic and hardware components you'll find on the USA Fullerton Deluxe Comanche, with this Tribute Series model just a fraction of the price!

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

• Poplar Body — Often likened to Alder, Poplar is comparably balanced in sound with a slightly lighter feel.
• Bolt-On Construction — Produces a snappy note response for an immediate playing experience.
• Medium "C" Maple Neck — Comfortable neck shape provides superb playability for both modern and traditional guitarists; enhanced with a slippery satin finish.
• 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 Switch (Push/Pull on Treble Knob) — 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.
