Up for sale is this utterly stunning G&L USA Comanche with original Z-coil loaded pickguard!!.

All original including hard case, tremolo, tremolo arm and some case candy.

We've fallen in love with this amazing guitar from Leo Fender & George Fullerton so it's going to be hard to part with this beauty...

Leo really got it right when it came to what Strats should be, but the Comanche took it to a whole new level. The Z coil pickups make almost zero noise and are extremely hot at the same time.

We could go on about Leo's genius for days but here are just some of the innovations he produced for the G&L Comanche.

Pickups

His MFD (Magnetic Field Design) Pickups are constructed with special magnets and height-adjustable pole pieces. They aimed to provide what guitarists and bassists were seeking: sustain and tonal flexibility with reduced noise.

As guitarists were demanding more flexibility with electronics, Leo engineered the PTB (Passive Treble and Bass) tone control. It allows the player to dial in low and high end frequencies independently. And the Tri-Tone preamp system offers pickup selection between active and passive modes in addition to volume, treble, and bass controls.

Dual-Fulcrum Vibrato System

Building on a previous design is the Dual-Fulcrum vibrato system, an evolved version of Fender’s Synchronized tremolo. Using two large pivot points instead of the traditional six wood screws, it promises better feel, smoother shift, more tuning stability, and can shift pitch up and down. It provides a lot of the features of a locking system without the upkeep headaches.

Saddle Lock Bridge

The saddle-lock bridge enhances string vibration transfer to the body and allows for more sustain, resonance, attack, and reduces string wear. Via an adjustment screw, the saddles can be compressed against each other, reducing side-to-side movement. This makes them act as a singular unit and aims to reduce or eliminate sustain killing lateral vibration.

In addition to the unique electronics and hardware this Comanche has a beautiful Ash body and a superb birds-eye, one piece maple neck. The neck radius is very comfortable and slightly 'chunkier' the your Modern C shape but still super easy to play up and down the fretboard.

The frets have been polished and have years of life left in them. The electronics have been tested and are in full working order.

NOTE!!! Whilst the guitar is in immaculate condition for its age the case does have damage on both rear corners (pictured). It is still fully functional and keeps the guitar very safe being an original G&L, quality custom case.
