Taking a page from bands like Devo, G&L's retro-modded SC-2 remake, the Fallout, is hot-rodded with an Alnico P-90 and Seymour Duncan JB pickup.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Alder body Light weight with a wide tonal range
Hard maple neck Extremely strong; bright tonal character
Seymour Duncan JB Model humbucker Clear tone with great harmonics and full sustain
G&L saddle lock bridge Perfect pitch and maximum sustain

What would an '83 G&L SC-2 be if Leo Fender recreated it for today's scene? The crew at G&L think it would be a lot like the new Fallout. After all, when inspiration comes from original G&L SC guitars modded by the likes of Devo's Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh and Band Of Susans' Robert Poss, there are lots of cues to follow.

The SC-2 was born as a cool looking, comfortable and light axe that could be thrashed mercilessly and not miss a beat. Fallout keeps those qualities in the mix but branches out to cover today's sophisticated textures and tones.

Fallout shares the original Leo Fender-designed SC-2 body shape, comfortable, sustain-rich G&L Saddle Lock bridge and easy-playing medium-C-shape neck with a 12" radius and medium-jumbo frets.

From dirty riffs to jangly hooks, Fallout delivers with a great pairing of a G&L Alnico P-90 neck pickup wound in-house and a Seymour Duncan JB bridge humbucker.

The look transcends the SC-2's simplicity with a sweeping pickguard that complements the body shape perfectly. Balancing out the aesthetics is a sleeker interpretation of the '80s-era G&L headstock shape designed exclusively for the Fallout.

First off if you don't know much about G&L look them up online. They're Leo Fender's Magnus opus. They're equal to a custom shop Fender at a fraction of the Price. The fallout is cool, plays amazing and sounds better. The p-90 gives you some awesome clean and dirty tones, and the Ducan JB is their best selling ticket. The coil tap gives you as strat like lead tone. What's amazing is how well the two combine, p-90's don't typically play well with other pickups. These two shine together. I play in a church band with about 500-600 people any given Sunday. When I first used this guitar I got a dozen plus complements on it's tone from other guitar players and a more "what is that thing, it's awesome lookings." I have other really nice guitars, but the new factor of this one has worn off and they are still in their cases. It's also extremely comfortable to shoulder during a long set.

Musical Background:

Lead guitarist at a church.25years of gear and noodling around.

Musical Style:

Used to thrash metal in the 80's and 90's Now Chirstian Rock Southern Rock Blues Rock.
