Overview

The Ascari: born of G&L's rich history. G&L's done something special: They've created an instrument that's steeped in guitar history, yet offering something more - The Ascari, a proud member of G&L's Tribute Series.

It was inspired by a recently uncovered prototype drawing done three decades ago by G&L co-founder George Fullerton, representing Leo Fender's vision for G&L's first 24 3/4 inch scale, three-tuners-to-a-side guitar. It was designed jointly by G&L's longtime VP of engineering, Paul Gagon, and his close friend and former collaborator, Grover Jackson, founder of Jackson Guitars. Its DNA is full of rock guitar history.

Yet it's a first for G&L: it has a set neck, a Leo-inspired headstock with three tuners to a side, and a 24 3/4 inch scale to put it squarely on the classic side of the rock'n'roll stage.

Add in a Tone-Pros tailpiece and tappable humbuckers specially designed by Gagon right here on Fender Avenue, and you have a gorgeous, high-performance rock guitar that's simultaneously striking in its design and steeped in rock guitar history.

When I received this guitar, I knew right out of the box she was for me. After tuning it to my taste...ALL HELL broke loose.My chops felt good and it's as if I was kickin' back with an old friend.I love the color of it and guys the tone and neck feels just right! G&L Tribute Ascari GTS is now a member of the family. Thanks Zzounds!
