G&L Tribute Fallout Fullerton Red
Product code: Fallout-FRD | ID: 225773
What would an ’83 G&LSC-2 be if Leo Fender recreated it for today’s scene? The crew at G&Lthink it would be a lot like the new Fallout. After all, when inspiration comes from original G&LSC 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&LSaddle 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<ribute Series Fallout delivers with a great pairing of 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&Lheadstock shape designed exclusively for the Fallout.
