G&L


 
 

G&L is a guitar design and production company founded by Leo Fender, George Fullerton, and Dale Hyatt in the late 1970s, after Leo left the company he founded and that still bears his name. G&L instruments are similar to the classic Fenders, but with some modern innovations. They are hand built on Fender Avenue, in Fullerton, California. They are not widely distributed but are highly regarded by many musicians and collectors. The relatively small scale of production further allows for more custom options than is possible on larger production lines.

After the passing of Leo Fender in 1991, Fender's wife, Phyllis Fender, passed the management of G&L to BBE Sound of John C. McLaren. George Fullerton remains as a permanent consultant, and Leo's wife Phyllis remains as Honorary Chairman of G&L.
