    This *really* needs to be on the Tribute catalog. It would wipe the floor with *all* the Squiers: Awesome pickups that sound great both clean and dirty, the PTB system, and a trem that actually works!
    Make it happen, G&L!!! TAKE MY MONEY!!!

    I have 6 Comanche's and 2 ASAT Z3's, G&L is still "the best kept secret" in electric guitar making and evolution. Great instruments and now I want a Doheny.

    Man - I gotta tell ya - G&L kicks butt! I have a G&L ASAT Bluesboy, and it is way better feeling, workmanship, and sounding than any Fender product. And they don't Price gouge you like Fender does. I wish G&L was sold in more stores. Reverend is another brand that just kicks Fender and Gibson's Butts! I have a Reverend Jetstream and it's quality is far superior than Fender or Gibson. Every guitar I buy from here on out will either be a G&L or a Reverend. The heck with those $3500 Custom Shop garbage Axes.

    • @IvorThomas
      @IvorThomas 6 років тому +1

      Agree with you esp on Reverend guitars. I have three of 'em already! LOL. I'm looking at the Doheny because the Charger 290 doesn't have a trem. Can you tell me if the neck profile is any chunkier on the G&L Doheny vs any bolt-on neck Reverend? The neck's on Revs are nice, but a bit too small to be 'inspiring'.

    • @EnmandsBand1
      @EnmandsBand1 3 роки тому +2

      so true, I have a G&L S-500 US model and it kicks every Fenders ass

      and I just bought the G&L Doheny as well, good times

    For the folks at G&L - why is this model only available with the Modern Classic neck profile? I was all set to order one and then told I couldn't get it with the Classic C shape. That's a deal breaker for me, the MC shape is too thin.

    It's an incredible looking/sounding guitar...
    I have a USA made Fallout & I love everything about it.
    I haven't seen any Doheny lefty guitars anywhere - also
    wondering if G&L will allow for customization of the
    Doheny's

    these are not all created equal, I just got one expecting those pickups and I get 2 single coils and the hum is horrible. 1,600 dollars apparentlyfor another hundred or two you get the humbuckers.

      + Shimby G&L are made to order so price will depend on what level of customisation you want. In Australia Ithe distributor has suggested these are going to be selling for around $US1600 and up. So typical US made guitar price from any of the usual suspects.

      Owning a surfboard does not make you a surfer. Making a "surf-inspired" guitar and not making a video of it playing through a spring reverb tank does not make it a surf guitar. Please make another video and play it properly.

  • @danielbell4007
    @danielbell4007 6 років тому +1

    I liked and sub’d, for the sole reason that you called the bridge system a vibrato at the end. The only thing that Leo did that I don’t like is he reversed the terms “tremolo” and “vibrato”
    Drives me bonkers, every time.

      @fdxsks 5 років тому +2

      YES!!! The manufacturer's website writes it up as a guitar inspired by the 60s surf rock genre and names it after a famous surfers' beach. You've got my attention G&L! But no videos of it playing through drippy spring reverb!? I want to be convinced to buy this versus of a Mosrite clone, but need some aural persuasion.
