The legacy of Leo Fender lives on with the G&L Custom Shop, taking some of his best innovations and implementing them into bespoke, custom-made, one-off instruments. The quality of the of these guitars are at or above any of the big-box brand Custom Shop models, but with a greater level of customized options, a much more reasonable price-point, and an unprecedented level of individual attention from the G&L staff and Master Builders. I cannot speak more highly of this instrument and my experience working with G&L. Highly recommended!

That pickup configuration is amazing. Couldn't ask for more. Congratulations on your acquisition! G&L is an incredible company.
Really great guitars, no doubt!
Okay... In my humble opinion.... I think G&L is more Fender than Fender. They are great playing and sounding guitars. And by the way... Nice guitar.
I would say for anything under the custom shop that’s probably true. And then, if you get into the custom shop range, there’s a pretty big price disparity where you’re paying more for not as good of an instrument and certainly not as customized.
The L in G&L stands for Leo Fender.
G&L is amazing. Fixed everything that was wrong with the fenders.
as someone who grew up near Fullerton, my sis went to Rosary.
YES
g&l is very much what Fender used to be. Not FMIC
G&L is so underrated. My main guitar is an Indonesian G&L semi hollow ASAT (tele) guitar. I took it to my luthier and he upgraded it and it sounds amazing!
Yes, great guitars, no doubt!
My Indonesian S-500 Strat is every bit the guitar as my USA Strats... MFD's rock.... My USA ASAT Tele is great too...but with a chunkier neck.
G&L with Seymour Duncan????? 🙂🙂🙂
This is exactly why I play a Fender Telecaster with a Gibson Humbucker......
Simple and perfect instead of complicated and not authentic......
G and L is always killin it, im shocked more people dont use them! amazing tone too
Glad you got a G&L. Been a fan for over 10 years, really under rated. If you want an old school Fender, can not go wrong with G&L.
Mason, this is seriously the best video you have ever done. So glad I’m not the only one who prefers a super Tele to a super Strat. Tele all the way.
🙏🙏🙏
Duuude that looks and sound PHENOMENAL! Congrats! Albert Collins licks all day
It's got "Buddy" written all over it!
in my favorite live version of hotel california, joe walsh is playing a tele.
Yes, he played a Tele on the live and studio version, but the opening part that I played was Don Felder on a Les Paul. Joe Walsh comes in after the part that I played with a Tele.
Dude just bought the blue one from your friends at music village on reverb. Cannot wait to plug it in!
Absolutely amazing! One of the most carefully thought out presentations of a unique guitar that I've seen (and heard) in years. So well done Mason. It's not only full of different sounds, but each one in its own right was excellent. What a chameleon of an instrument. Your playing skills certainly enhanced the demonstration, wonderful choice of styles and songs to showcase what must NOT be an inexpensive guitar. One can only dream...
Wow, thanks so much!!! I think for what it is, it's quite reasonable, however G&L makes many different models that are significantly cheaper including a very affordable import series form Indonesia. Definitely worth checking out!
I'm blown away by my import model! Highly recommend!
Great playing and gear review as always my man!!!.....keep em' coming!
Wow, thanks!
There is something real cool about G&L guitars being an extension of Leo Fender’s guitar history. I love my G&L guitars 😊 Nice setup
Hear, hear!
You may think its not a fender but the l in G&L stands for Leo Fender. He founded the company and his partner was George Fullerton ( the G in G&L )
Not sure there's anything said in the video that contests this. Nevertheless, G&L isn't a Fender, I think it goes without saying that they share similar DNA but are different brands.
Different brands yes , but still designed by Leo Fender. I bought one of the 1st G&Ls back in the 80s it was a strat style , it played and sounded like a fender
He founded Music Man as well and I just bought another of his designs, the Sabre 2 from '78. The neck on this thing is amazing. Similar to MM EVH which I recently tried.
@@emdblues yes I had a music man sabre 2 and it just so happened it was the one George Terry used on Lay Down Sally. The case was sensiled "Fragile electronic instrument" Eric Clapton Group , I got through my friend who ran Modern Music in Sunrise Fla. His name was Dave Morgan. He got straight from George. All the laquer had be sanded off the back of the neck and it was a fast fret board. I wish I still had that thing.
I made a similar tele out of an original American fat telecaster, which already had the humbucker, and added a middle pickup, a Seymour Duncan tapped quarter pounder bridge, which I leave tapped as the standard position, a super switch, and my own wiring tricks, until it was exactly what I wanted. It has been my number one for quite a while now, and has been on the road with me through many gigs. There is nothing more versatile.
Sounds amazing!
Mason, I've learned a ton from you over the last couple of years. Referencing mostly your videos, I built a super-tidy (you would be proud) mono wet/dry pedalboard that delivers a huge range of the best sounds I've ever attained. I am constantly inspired to try new songs. Your G&L kicks ass and although I can't go for that right now, I can't wait to try the songs and sounds you demo'd, with what I've got. I never knew how bad I needed a Univibe fuzz sound.
Thanatos so much for watching!
That’s my ideal pickup configuration! I have a 2001 G&l ASAT Z-3 with some custom options, but they didn’t have a custom shop then-they WERE a custom shop!
Custom Shop is awesome!
Sounds killer! Finally, someone who shares my enthusiasm for a triple pickup Tele! 🙌 In mine, I've got a classic in the bridge, tri-sonic style in the middle, and mini humbucker in the neck.
The versatility of a three pickup Tele is unmatched IMO!
I have the Brent Mason signature Tele. It’s the best guitar I’ve ever owned 👍
I'm onboard, I put p90s in a Tele with a filtertron in the middle position, wired to have any possible combo of pickups including all three. Great sounds!
Yeah man! I’ve been playing three-pickup Teles off and on for a little over twenty years now! The most stable Strats I’ve ever had were three-pickup Teles! It took a long time for me to learn to appreciate a standard Tele. I kept hoping to find Strat sounds that just weren’t there. So I always added a middle pickup. Eventually I grew up and committed to building a standard Tele style guitar with Warmoth parts and insisted that I would let that Tele be a Tele, and I’m super happy with that guitar.
I still rock a Nashville Tele from time to time though. Great vid!
That’s my favorite Tele setup.
I love all my G&L's...
Been playing them for 30 years..
Leo is a genius...
Heck yeah 👍
Three pickup Teles rock! I love the shout out to Robin Trower and his great skills with the Strat middle pickup! Inspirational!
Heck yeah! Robin and Clapton are my go-to middle pickup guys for Strat tones.
Great video Mason! What an awesome guitar you got. The variety of tones available in amazing. Solid playing too!
Wow, thanks!
New subscriber and small town music store owner in Oklahoma. I just picked up the G&L line recently. I'm very impressed with their quality and customer service.
Great stuff! Hope this video helps some customers make the decision to go G&L!
Killer guitar Mason. Great noodling around too...I'm a proud original owner of a 1999 black guard asat classic semi-hollow, a fantastic custom shop quality build. Super chunky V-neck with gun-oil vintage tint, & magnetic field single coils summoning all the classic tele and 59 LP sounds. G&L ARE the "REAL ONES" for sure...
Heck yea!
Dang it! Although I do have a G&L Fullerton ASAT Bluesboy already (and I love it very much!) I now have a "Super Tele/ASAT" like yours in my bucket list (customized to my own specs of course). Your guitar is pure fire! So versatile!
Wow. Immediately struck by the balance of the tone. I'm sold. Great review!
🙏🙏🙏
Wish I'd never sold my Will Ray G&L. Super unique Tele style guitar.
I remember Will Ray demoing that guitar at Bananas At Large in San Rafael, CA when I was in High School! Sparkle ASAT!
Cool vibe dude, it’s like hanging out at my neighbors garage talking guitars 😍, let me grab you a beer 🍺
Wow thanks 🙏
Really Nice played!!
Wow, thanks!
Hell, yeah! Glad to see you're on the G&L train with me! MFD pickups are the best.
Not only are the USA and Custom shop ones incredible, there's no better value than the Tribute line.
100% Dave! Unbelievable instruments! I know you’ve been signing their praises for year, but I’ve just now seen the light!
Great video, player, and guitar. Thanks for showing us what the guitar can do. I have a Fender Am P2, Fender Tele in HSS, and recently got a G&L Tele (ASAT classic tribute). After a good set up, I find myself play the G&L a lot more than the other two. The MFDs can put out great tones. The grunge and bite you get is inspiring but still nice to play jazz stuff with the neck. G&Ls make really great guitars.
I have an Asat Classic Bluesboy from around 2005.... it is just a KILLER guitar... I put in some Suhr pickups for a bit more traditional tele tones.... plus four way wiring and a pull pot to split the neck humbucker..... I'm a big G&L fan... I'd love to design a custom shop from them.
They're amazing guitars, the Custom Shop is really knocking it out of the park!
Sounds amazing enjoy!
Yes! Will do. Be sure to check out the G&L Custom Shop as well!
The guitar that has never left my side is a Tele with a strat pickup in the middle. However I'm using a freeway 10 way switch (two banks of five). Can do all the strat positions, all the Tele positions plus bridge and middle in series, bridge and neck in series, middle and neck in series and all three in parallel. None of the series sounds are classics but... give a helluva kick and have their uses.
Heck yea!
The perfect guitar! Thank you for posting the specs. I had to sell my ASAT classic several years back. Biggest regret of my life. I’m going to have to get one built like this.
good stuff man! i've been thinking of putting together an extremely customised guitar to my exact specifications too
Go for it!
Congratulations. That guitar sounds fantastic! Lots of of tonal range.
Yes, undoubtedly!
Aloha and Mahalo! Very nice guitar. Great sounds.
Thank you, definitely check out their Custom Shop!
Steve Howe of YES has had a custom Telecaster with a single-coil in the bridge, for that "icepick through the forehead" Tele bite and a humbucker in the neck position for mellow, Jazzy tones. Andy Summers of The Police also played a Tele with a humbucker in the neck.
I had an American Fender Telecaster H/S, which had that same pickup configuration plus "5-Way Switching." It was THE MOST VERSATILE GUITAR that I have EVER owned!
We mention Andy Summers and Keith Richards. I think they’re the biggest most commonly associated with the neck humbucker and Tele bridge, however neither used coil splits I don’t think nor had a middle pickup.
Try a Z-3! It has three Z-coil pickups which are fantastic. Mine has a 6-way switch to get 1-5 strat positions and middle Tele position for bridge and neck. I loved to G&L about 10 years ago and have never looked back. Some don’t like their pickups but I’ve really liked them. I have owned basses and guitars.
I'll have to check it out!!!
I have a Will Ray Signature that has those Z coil pickups. These are a little hotter than the regular pickups in the Comanche. I love my G&L’s. My Will Ray also has a B bender on it with skull inlays for fret markers. Also have a Legacy HD and a Bluesboy. In my opinion some of the finest instruments out there and very overlooked.
Congratulations on your new beautiful guitar 🎸 !!
Wow, thanks!
Damn. That is one hell of guitar. G&L here I come... 😊
been playing G&L since 2010. amazing guitars
Agreed!
Gonna finish paying off my fullerton deluxe doheny (jazzmaster style) in lake placid blue literally tomorrow, should be here next week this time.
So stoked on G&L at the moment.
I had been wanting a music man for a few years, but the cost was prohibitive and I finally remembered g&l.
I wished I could afford to get a quartersawn neck and a matching headstock, so maybe next time and that practically takes it up to music man costs anyways, but just a little cheaper.
Cheers Mason!
p.s. i've become obsessed with g&l for the past few months, i hawk their online store for b-stock stuff now and watch all their youtube videos
Amazing! I’ve got my eye on a Doheny next!!!
My favorite tele is an Austin I picked up at a local guitar shop for $169. Its in a beautiful white with the wood sort of coming through the finish. Idk why but she sounds so good and I tend to pick her up more than my Fender.
Nice 👍
One aspect of the ASAT or any of G&L guitars and bass lines.... the pickups they create are spectacular.
Yes!
I've owned both a (Tribute) Bluesboy and both the MFD and alnico ASAT Classic S. This guitar is a happy marriage between the Bluesboy and the MFD Classic S.
Heck yea!
I have a warmoth build with Frailin P92 humbucker, steel pole strat middle, and Split pole tele bridge. It is a treasure trove of tones!!! Slept on configuration.
For sure 💯 percent
I dig this guitar. I used to have a 2008 HSS American Deluxe strat. It was my dream guitar, but I could bond with it. I should have got a tele.
Here’s your chance!
Excellent demo & playing! I have a custom built Suhr T/S style guitar built about 16 years ago that is excellent! Did not know that G&L has s custom shop. Also didn’t know they cost well over $3,000. Thanks!
They’re wonderful instrument and can be had for the $3000-3500 range. That’s about $1500-$2000 less than the equally equipped Fender.
amazing instrument and sounds!!
Heck yea!
I love my ASAT classic, but I've also thought for several years that it would be awesome to make a Super tele out of one, just like this! What a great guitar! It has everything you need, and sounds incredible.
Now's the time for your Super Tele!
@@VertexEffectsInc maybe someday!
G&L has the proper pedigree, no doubt. Compliments!
So for the bridge pickup sounds when playing stairway and hotel California. To get that older les Paul type sound That’s just the bridge pickup alone to have that sound or was it expanded combined with another pickup?
That was just the bridge pickup ONLY!
Great video Mason! I own a lot of guitars but have never owned a G&L. This intrigues me. By the way, you're playing so well. I always look forward to your videos.
Wow, thanks John! Definitely check them out. Their attention to detail, the custom options, and customer touch time with G&L is unmatched.
G&L makes nice Teles for sure!!!
Yes, unbelievably great! Had no idea they had a Custom Shop until a few month ago. Amazing guitars and very fair prices!
What a guitar.. I'm blown away!
It's a great one!
G&Ls are the best. You have a real beauty on your hands! I have two ASATs, a chambered Bluesboy w/o F holes and a Seth Lover humbucker and my other ASAT with two soapbar pickups. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome, I love G&L, Leo would be proud, cpngrats
Thanks!
This guitar and amp combination covers a lot of ground. Sounds great man!
Heck yeah! They did a great job!
That is my dream pickup configuration!
Yes, indeed!
Great video!!
🙏🙏🙏
Iv not had fenders for a long time . Gotta love a g&l .
They’re wonderful!
I custom ordered an ASAT Blues Boy from Rudy’s in Manhattan (back when they were on 48th Street) and yes, it was pretty great but the fret work was surprisingly pretty bad (I’ve seen better fret work on $300 Asian imports) - a little heavier than I expected but after I got a fret job, it was a pretty great guitar. Loved the 7/8 body size and brass slotted bridge barrels.
What chorus pedal did you use for the summers bits?
Red Seven Lil Wave
Own 3 G&L's.......2 of them are Asat Specials and 1 Legacy. Great guitars!!!
Heck yea!
You are an amazing salesperson ! Great playing and examples . One note.....an oversight maybe ....
on my own set ups I DEFINITELY prefer the grub screws on the bridge saddles to all be adjusted BELOW
or FLUSH with the surface of the saddle so that they do not dig into my picking hand ......see 1min34sec....
some of them seem to be sticking up a bit .......anyway , great tones . Thanks
I've not had an issue unless they're above the bridge flange. In 25 years of playing Telecaster I've never had this issue or even considered it.
My main guitar is a tele with strat neck and middle pickups and a 10 position freeway switch. Does that guitar have a treble bleed and if so do you know the values?
Yes it does, don’t remember the value. It also has 500K pots by my request.
They should just make that a custom shop option and I’d just buy it. That is the dream axe for me.
They should, maybe they will!? In the meantime you can order the same guitar, I put the specs in the description and pinned comment at the top!
I absolutely LOVE my G&L. I dont have much experience with them, and have never had the pleasure of trying the USA made ones, but my G&L Tribute S-500 is amazing. I would love to be able to own a USA model one day. I own a Player Series Tele and even though i prefer a Tele over a Strat, the G&L surpasses the quality of the MIM Tele by a long shot and the G&L is 200 bucks cheaper.
Mason, have u messed with the pole heights on the MFD pickup yet? Its surprising how much of a tonal difference it can make. I had my G&L for almost 2 years and never messed with the poles until about a month ago. I just love how u can fine tune the pickup to your liking. Such a cool idea. I really want to replace my Player Series Tele with an ASAT. Cant afford a custom, but even the Tribute ASAT would be nice.
I haven't adjusted the pole pieces, no. I just left them as they were stock.
I'm a sucker for versatility and T-style guitars. This pickup configuration is incredible!! I'm jealous.
You could wire this way on an existing Tele
@@VertexEffectsInc I am very tempted to do this but I would have get creative with my Modern Player Plus tele (HSS configuration).
Are there any wiring diagrams for this config? with the push pull?
Ask G&L? I'm sure they're out there.
Great video, can you tell us more about that AC30?
Is sorta a bastardized one that’s got 60’s iron but been repaired a lot with modern parts and it’s been converted to a head with a new head cabinet.
I love G&Ls. My only issue is the unique neck pocket. If you need a new neck (which I did for my G&L) you have to get it through G&L, no one makes aftermarket necks for them.
You can get an unfinished/unshaped neck pocked from most aftermarket manufacturers and have it made to whatever size you need.
What a beautiful guitar! All the sounds were great. Highly jealous hahahaha
Thanks Sandra!
What action did you go for? I have pref for like action. Interested to see what you got on bass and treble at 12th fret. 🎸👌🇬🇧💥📺
Typically medium, I try not to go too low as I like to have a little something to get under. I've not measured it.
My favorite guitar company. The Modern Classic neck profile is pretty magical. I personally prefer the MFD in the neck position to a humbucker but that’s me.
Yes, great guitars!
Great video, Mason!
Thanks for watching!
@@VertexEffectsInc hurraaaah :)
Great video.
I have a G&L tele and I love it
👍👍👍
LOVE G&L's. Question: what guage strings are you using?
These are D’Addario XS 9’s
So beautiful... I have the import model of the asat tribute... I think p90s style called mft pickups... idk, point is that the quality is seriously there... feels so solid... I can only imagine how good their custom shop stuff is😮😮😮
Great instruments!
sounds beautiful
Wow, thanks!
great recording unit
Heck yeah!
Such a sweet sounding guitar!
Thanks Dan!
I have a G&L ASAT Bluesboy Tribute with a couple of mods on it. Incredible guitar for the price paid..., and may have made me a convert to the brand. Hope to one day step up to the CS table (esp. as a lefty), and this video has been very convincing! Thx. ❤🙏
They’re wonderful instruments!
Great guitar - great review 🙂
Thank you!
I ordered a custom guitar with very similar specs inspired by this video.
I agree. I rediscovered G&L a couple of years ago. I had one back in the 80s when they first came out. It was ok, but unremarkable. But a few years ago I bought one of the Asian Bluesboys for cheap, because I liked the color : ) I had little expectations for it, but when I got it I was blown away by how well it played and sounded, so much so that I wound up getting a Made In Fullerton one. I considered a custom shop one, actually for just a neck, but the wait was longer than I wanted, so I passed. But I agree- while everybody is certainly aware of G&L, they seem to be somewhat in the unsung hero class of guitars. And you don't have to spring for a custom shop one or even a Fullerton one. They're nicer, yes, but even this cheap Asian one is a total bargain. You get 95% of the top dollar ones for 1/5 the price.
Totally agree!! Great guitars!
My favorite strat isn’t a Fender either. 87 Kramer KS-400. Lovely neck, pointy headstock. Everything I need.
Nice!
HOLY... Every position absolute gold! Sheesh, I was already completely stuck which Fender Tele model to get and now this...
This might just get me past my itch for a wide-range HB neck... or a thinline.😮
They’re amazing guitars especially for the price!
@@VertexEffectsInc Aaaany chance you'd give the pot and cap values?
You pushed me over the edge - doesn't take much :-) and I grabbed a mint used tribute bb thinline. Has SD antiquity bridge and neck but I'm switching to a Seth and putting a Lollar 64 strat in the middle all just so I'm not ripping you off too shamelessly :-D
@@roughcutguitars I did 500K on the pots
@@VertexEffectsInc Thanks loads! And just picked up a 70s reissue Fender Tele Deluxe, so thinline, wide-range and your super-beast tele for the hat trick!
I've never seen a telecasterbridge like this, with 6 individual brass saddles? Is it a G&L only? And can it be bough seperate?
G&L custom
Yes! I love it , the Super TELE !!!
We need more Super Teles!
nice sounds
🙏🙏🙏 thanks John!
It almost looks like your hair is blowing in the wind when you play the Hotel California solo, and whether or not that's intentional, it works. I didn't realize you were so good at playing guitar, seriously +1
I think my AC was on. Speaker cab is in an iso room so you can’t hear the fan.
It just needs the neck-on mod for the neck and bridge pickup combination. It would be nice if the tone knob had a push/pull as well to activate the neck-on mod.
Huh?
Gl in my opinion makes great amazing guitars !!I love them 2 don't get me wrong!!🌻
Nice Tele...great pickups & cleverly wired...that G&L Tele asat style pickup is really good...i like their bass pickups to...they done a really good job...it is a Tele on steroids...yep,Jimmy used a Tele on 'Stairway to Heaven'...argued with Gibsonites about this yrs ago..lol..they aged it just right...very nice...enjoy 🎸
They're great, absolutely!
I tried G&L telecaster at GC yesterday, and I immediately love it! The sound is way better than Fender, and the price is more reasonable (affordable) than Fender.
Nice!!!
Let’s goooo tele!!!
