Vintage-inspired design with dual Paul Gagon-designed Alnico pickups.
The G&L Tribute Series Fallout electric guitar reimagines an ’83 G&L SC-2 if Leo Fender recreated it for today’s scene. The SC-2 was born as a cool-looking, comfortable and light axe that could be thrashed mercilessly and not miss a beat. The Fallout keeps those qualities in the mix but branches out to cover today’s sophisticated textures and tones. It shares the original Leo Fender-designed SC-2 body shape, 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 gorgeous P-90 single-coil at the neck 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.
