Hot or Not? G&L Tribute Fallout.

What is your take? I basically know of it due to Liz Stokes from The Beths who uses it mostly for barre chord rhythm play whilst singing lead.

I had the USA version for a few years as my only guitar until I got a wild hair and sold it to begin the recent multiyear odyssey on the guitar-go-round that has finally settled down.

The model in general is pretty simple and hard to mess up. I found myself not super into the P90/HB combo—but mostly because it didn’t readily make the sounds I wanted because I almost always want access to classically “Fender” chimey clean sounds and it’s not built for that. Also, the chunky stock USA G&L frets aren’t my preference.

I wouldn’t be opposed to one if I was looking for a rock and roll plank. The looks are cool, but given that it’s standard Fender scale it’s not terribly different than playing a tele or a Reverend or any myriad other bolt on, hard tail guitars.

My general feeling is you can't go wrong with a Tele. You get Fender chime and twang, but you can also beef it up like fuck. If you really want to, you can get almost into the snarlier end of Les Paul territory. Conversely, it's much more difficult to make a Lester sound like a Tele.
