This G&L Fallout electric guitar is in excellent cosmetic and playing condition. The frets show very little signs of use and have lots of life left in them. The neck profile is on the chunkier side and feels nice in hand. The lacquered maple fingerboard makes for a really nice feel. The humbucking position pickup has a coil tap to capture all those fat humbucking sounds and a single coil sound as well. The neck position pickup is a P-90 which sounds great and in combination gives you a ton of tonal options. The bridge is heavy duty, solid and well made to ensure excellent intonation and tuning stability. The Sonic Blue finish is done extremely well, is very attractive and looks great with the lacquered maple neck. A super cool offset guitar that honestly reminds me a bit of a Duo-Sonic or Mustang with a regular scale. A solid offering from G&L and a super fun guitar to play.
From G&L: Post-Punk Radiation Morphs Leo Fender’s SC-2. 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, the G&L Tribute Series Fallout delivers with a great pairing of Paul Gagon-designed Alnico pickups: a gorgous P-90 and meaty humbucker splittable via a push/pull tone pot. 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.
