Here's an Excellent condition circa 1998-2000s USA-made G&L Comanche. Just a great guitar in every way. The Z pickups are a treat, and as any G&L fan knows, the two-point tremolo on these S-style guitars are amazing. This one is super clean, showing very few signs of wear, and plays great. Includes a VERY high-quality (and heavy) SKB water proof flight case and tremolo arm. The neck shape measures closest to the G&L Slim C shape (1 5/8 nut width, about .82-.9 1st to 12th fret)
Please note: this is a consignment item and is sold as-is, no returns.
Here are specs from G&L, but please note, these were pulled from the website and may not accurately depict the EXACT specs of this guitar. Please ask for any specifics.
The G&L Comanche® is Leo’s final word on the traditional double-cutaway bolt-on axe. Fact is, the first thing you’ll notice about the Comanche is the distinctive shape of the Magnetic Field Design™ Z-Coil™ pickups designed by Leo Fender† himself. These pickups deliver a bright and sparkly top end while offering a robust bottom end, all without any 60-cycle hum.
You’ll find plenty of power in the Z-coil pickups, but what’s surprising is how glassy and detailed they become as you roll back the volume and bass controls, the latter a part of the Comanche’s PTB™ (Passive Treble and Bass) system. What’s more, the Comanche includes a mini-toggle expander switch to allow neck+bridge or all three pickups together. In a pinch, the neck+bridge combo does a convincing faux ASAT® Special. Talk about versatile!
Making the most of this delicious combo is Leo’s Dual-Fulcrum vibrato, a work of engineering art which allows bending up or down with unsurpassed stability, while offering a silky feel through its beefy aluminum vibrato arm.
The Comanche was the very last double-cutaway bolt-on guitar designed by Leo Fender, the culmination of everything he had learned during his amazing lifetime. Founded by Leo Fender in 1980, the Comanche and all G&L USA instruments continue to be made in the historic G&L facility on Fender Avenue in Fullerton, California, the Birthplace of Bolt-on™.
