USE

Very pleasant to handle touchcomme on a strat slides easily. Adjustable one cot.
Access to acute, it's a Start, matter of habit. All dpends your doigtbr /> but we made it very quickly.
Good balance that one is standing or sitting!
Strat shape! (Of course).
The higher pitch than the Strat, but I have to say cient pots,
which allows you to agire the sound!

SONORITS

This guitar is perfect for my style of music. ("PINK FLOYD" "EAGLES" "AMERICA" or even "SHADOWS" that is to say for the kind "country, rock etc ...
I currently play on a small amp "Peavey" RAGE 158 I do not use any effect
I add them after recording.
The resulting sounds are rather diverse, but my principal sound cleane or trslgrement saturated and this guitar is made for a fact! Mtalique sounds.
It is certainly not made for the metal or hard!
For my style of music, it is a very good guitar!

UTILIZATION

SOUNDS

Here is a good time that I have not put a notice on AF. But there ... this is the slap! I was lucky enough to own a bunch of very good guitar fender custom shop in Gibson, Charvel, japan Vintage, Washburn made in United States ... These models G & L made in Indonesia are hair-raising quality: the pickups are in the vein of good strats, slap, creamy in the neck position, cutting edge easel and again this is not all Strats that have these qualities! I compared with G & L US: évidante the difference is in terms of finish (wood, fuel wood for the handle ...) but for the sound and feel it is level. I found the feel of my US Clapton, the same comfortable handle, the ring bends, we delight! Mine is color Blueburst, I hastened to find a natural finish second but with a rosewood fingerboard. I want to réciser I use this guitar for my concerts, my twin 65 on, the sounds are fantastic calires. With my Tonebone Trimode I get a range of quality overdrive. This is perfect!

OVERALL OPINION

For the price, I think this is the best market opportunity. And yes, we are now swamped by a multitude of brand, with many Asian Standarts US. These G & L depart completely. It is, in my opinion, the level of a good Strat ... except US the price.

Made in korea

Fender offspring!

She is very versatile for the moment I play on a little VOX DA5

some explanation of Samuel Rope on the operation of this guitar


<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>Hello,

It is true, there is never a notice with the guitars! Finally:
A) is the volume B) Ring for neck pickup C) Ring of the environment for micro
E) slecteur microphones:
Position 1 (to handle) neck pickup active
Position 2 + middle pickups handle active
Position 3 micro active medium
Position 4 mid + bridge active pickups
5 Poistion active pickup

D) It's the little extra G & L (L is for the Fender Lo)
The international access to the neck + bridge pickups to be active for one of the Telecaster sound when playing with two microphones.

Do not panic if you are lost with the slecteur it is possible to know which microphone is active or not. Simple: touch the rope on one of the studs if the microphone has a small tac-tac is that the microphone is active.

OVERALL OPINION

This is my first electric guitar and not the decline and experience here I would give you the advice of a scratch of my friends for 17 years and my guitar teacher
they both found this guitar very beautiful and very well finished too! very nice to play
the microphones were surprised by their quality, the strings very close to the handle does not border on the vibrato does not tune the strings
my teacher even told me, with two weeks earlier essay in a store other guitars, the G & L was much higher than a Highway one example
to 535 is a bargain for them but rare because there really are not many dealer in France and not even in Switzerland (I live just a cot!) then to try it mission impossible
(Mine just in a Paris https://www.bcorde.com/index.php?page=41&lg=1 BCorde Audio)
in my case I had this mark on AF and I trust the advice of afiens at the beginning I was leaning to a Fender and now I do not regret my choice

Guitar made in Korea in 2004.
22 jumbo frets, pickups Made in America - G & L Magnetic Field.
Bridge "dual fulcrum", meaning two studs.
Settings: volume, treble, bass, classic 5 position switch plus a micro switch which couples high and low together.
Maple neck with rosewood button.
Light ash body (swamp ash) - good sustain.
Plastic nut - to be replaced with a bone nut or graphite.

UTILIZATION

Very easy guitar to play, has one of the best rounds I know (I play for over 20 years). Access to acute and more difficult as the neck-through, but still possible. Weight and correct for me.

The setting of severe (very unusual) with the toggle switch allows you to find sounds really nice crunch as well as plain. on the other hand, this guitar is not made for heavy distos. For this, consider a change of micro acute, with a dual format Strat.

The pickups are not noisy, because they provide a signal level high enough for single coils.

SOUNDS

This guitar is great for rhythm and solos in his or light crunch. The ability to couple the two microphones acute and severe, this particular guitar, to find sounds really nice.

Sounds the most enjoyable in my opinion, can be obtained on a Fender type amp Tweed Combo, with a bit of reverb. The ash body gives a lot of sustain and tone quite warm.

Vibrato is ok as long as we limit its action.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a very good guitar, which resists even after the purchase of an LTD MH-400, it will advantageously be completed.

The little less than this guitar is the nut plastic, that I will replace with a bone nut or graphite.

- Guitar Corenne but electronic manufactures in the United States (the same as the US versions).
- 22 boxes and 3 single pickups. Slecteur 5 + switch positions to add 2 - combinations: neck pickup / pickup or three microphones time).
- Bridge G & L Dual Fulcrum More like the agreement that the bridge of a Fender Stratocaster.
- Handle with Saddle Saddle button.
- Body frne marshes.

UTILIZATION

Super enjoyable. It is worthy of a round of strato fender. Both of crateurs pany that are Fender George Fullerton and Lo are the strato derrire derrire and this brand!

Access in acute Fender is as easy as I think. The shape, weight is in the same style also a stratovolcano.

The sound is really great about him. Microphones US G & L Fender Stratocaster typs with a touch of personality and more. It is a pleasure to find the sound without sounding Fender Fender only. And the switch supplmentaire brings new sounds!

SOUNDS

This guitar replaces advantageously trs trs my Ibanez and complements well my Lag Roxanne. This G & L is really gniale to play the songs of Pink Floyd, Dire Straits and Eric Clapton. I found their sound with happiness! It is a pleasure!
I play with a Hughes & Kettner lamps (the Statesman Dual EL84) and a Pod X3 Live. The sounds that this guitar gives me really down. Trs fenderiennes with a personality G & L! So sounds good crystalline and enjoyable crunch trs. And with the possibility to link all three pickups or the bridge pickup and neck pickup is really gnial. Fender George Fullerton & Lo are really crateurs of pany! Thank you them!

OVERALL OPINION

An exceptional build quality for a guitar factory manufactures Corenne: violin and assembly. The electronic is the same as The models high-end handmade in the United States. The pickups are also American made and assembled in Korea. The great sound with a typical Fender G & L own personality and more. And the level of output lev. Microphones Adjustable height plot by plot (then rope rope ...). A report qualitprix clearly unbeatable! I like the shape of the head (much more than beautiful than the ugly head of the Fender Stratocaster).

Difficult to find in France. I had to find the bowl of an accident by reporting OCCAZ one of my guitars in my shop Repair Tool usual.
The grip is great and the sound is typical stratocaster but not only. Fender is the better, yes I dare! And the top is the 2-position switch in addition (that Fender did not). It dmultiplie opportunities and opens new perspectives sound.

This guitar is beautiful, excellent sound quality is exceptional and does not score just over 500 euros. I tried a few Fender Stratocaster (a Mexican Deluxe Player, a US Highway and an American standard) and the G & L surpasses them. The Fender I have not packed more than a. Highway rating is not great and 350 euros more than the G & L. Mexican coast a little more expensive and is also infrieure. Only the standard strat US (2x and a half more expensive) rivals. And since I do not like the big head of the stratovolcano, has one more point for the G & L.

Too bad the brand is so little known in France. However, it does the two cre crateurs Fender Stratocaster and myth: George Fullerton & Lo Fender. Yes G & L are the initials of their given name. Brand cre in 1980 by two men in order to CRER amliores strata as they could not touch the myth. CRER and have this kind of guitars. Exceptional guitars and report qualitprix much better than Fender.

Discoveries that since I make and I have this guitar, I know I never n'achterai a Fender. These G & L are neither more nor less than the strat amliores. Strongly the return of G & L in France!

I have recently been a G & L Tribute 500. Made in Korea in Cort, according to specifications rigorous, ash body, sunburst, 22 frets, tremolo G & L Dual Fulcrum (not very stable if you tickle too), 3 single coil pickups G & L Magnetic Field in High Level output terminals separately adjustable in height (made by G & L USA and wound by hand), hyper flexible strat overall it's a great guitar!

UTILIZATION

The handle is ds mind Fender, round curve but is well in hand, the finishes are beautiful, you could easily spend a lot of his hendrixien medium in a mellow jazzy neck pickup, it can also sound way to telecaster desplittant microphones.

SOUNDS

Played on a marshall AVT 150 is a medium full-on approach similar to that of Hendrix. If you are looking for a Start "slamming" is not the best ... but if versatility appeals to you while keeping the big sound, it will be fine.
I play a repetoire of rock / jazz and it's ability to adapt to various répeetoires that appeals to me most.

OVERALL OPINION

A good investment, which is largely a U.S. Start, and buries the Mexican or Japanese products without worry.
It's a little known brand, do not forget that Leo Fender and George Fullerton are in control and that quality comes first.

Strengths: versatility of sounds, violin and neat finish
Weaknesses: instability of the vibrato handle fragile if you like from playing violent

Made in Coreée, accessories (U.S. pickups G & L Magnetic Field), Dual Fulcrum vibrato U.S. (although the mention Tribute suggests that it is outsourced to Asia ...)
22 jumbo frets, Fender modern in spirit. The handle (mapple on mine) is narrower than the standard strato U.S., and comparable in thickness. Time to adapt at first, and then it runs: run very fast.
A switch allows you to get out of the five positions is standard by adding together the three simple or severe acute mics together. We walk on the beds of the telecaster ...
The vibrato is surprising: very flexible (floating on travel light, but hard on the extreme deflections). Not obvious to the game wide (Van Halen) but very effective for the effects of light vibrato and bends which are double-righteous. Never worry-keeping agreement, and sustain guaranteed by massive and heavy block. Amazing.

UTILIZATION

A handle, it tries.
Here we are in spirit closer to Fender. The finish is not shiny like the Fender Vintage, but Matt (oiled?) Very soft to the touch, but sensitive to contamination (as it was a quick look ... old strat 57)
Access to acute is "strato" that is not good in absolute terms, but we know what its costs and sustain a handle screwed further ... So do not change anything!
The weight is not light. At all. It's a heavy guitar (ash forces) but be aware if you want sound!

SOUNDS

Sound, let's talk about: Everything is done for START ring of death: Over the strato strato.
I came with my Start U.S. Standard 89 in the store to compare: it did better in all registers: treble, bass, power (Ma Mia what fishing!) For the blues, the breath away. Perhaps the gentle arpeggios are they more convincing on my Fender, but if you want to attack the fat, the S500 makes it ten kilometers of entry. I even found a saturated quite convincing on the micro serious turning the low tone to a minimum. it sings amazing. This tone is amazing. This is not a simple filter on top as a stratum, but two types of different tone settings, applicable to the three microphones, a target parameter of the useful frequency ...
I would love to try the Legacy to be a little more "vintage" pickups with alnico with a lower output level, and probably a different character.
The S500 sounds modern, powerful, very blues and present. I use it on my POD 2.0 by repeating the Line6 flextone2 club and my Carvin tube on big stage. No background noise!
A big personality. Try to adopt it.
By the way why buy one U.S.?

OVERALL OPINION

I for one year, then I am already well-equipped guitars issue (I have the much more expensive), but it is a favorite. I'm playing right now covers of Dire Straits and the sound on stage is quite similar to that of the first albums. She even subtle grain of the road on Telegraph Schecter is saying ...

A case ... I would do without hesitation (I let a good try by Legacy Blue sunburst for once ... but is it reasonable?)

Added 01/05/08: G & L guitars are not imported! Hang on your own, the rating will go up ....
