Mill River Music brings you a used G&L Tribute Fallout in Red, and this one is special as the Bridge pickup has been modded with a Railhammer Hyper Vintage Humbucker that is able to be coil tapped with a push/pull knob! This guitar came into our hands with very miniminal playing wear and pick scrapes in the white pickguard; electronically, this guitar works as expected and sounds great! Our techs set up this guitar in-shop and got it playing incredibly, and the beveling on the guitar makes it easy and comfortable to hold! This guitar is truly a post-punk version of one of Leo Fender's most prized guitars!
From G&L themselves:
"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."
