G&L USA Comanche Guitar Honeyburst Premier Flame Maple Top Maple Board

We have way too many good things to say about the G&L Comanche. This S style guitar plays like a bat out of hell, and it has some wonderful pickup combinations as well as a terrific trem system to wail on. The final product is a mysterious blend of recognizable tones the likes of David Gilmour, Allan Holdsworth, Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa. The pickups in this guitar are a little on the darker side and hum-cancelling. They put out plenty of bite and thicken up nicely with a little crunch from a tube amp, but they can also sound nice and mellow with a simple twist of the volume knob. You’ll never get the ice pick high end in the bridge or muddy neck and quack positions that some other S models are known for. The playability is off the charts on this Comanche. You can play everything from conservative jazz to wailing, over the top shred licks, and the guitar will keep up with you. Add to the killer playability and tone the stunningly beautiful flame maple top that’s on this one and you’ve got yourself an all-around complete package in a guitar that will look as good as it sounds.

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™.
