How do you redefine perfection in a bass guitar? Take the most comfortable body Leo Fender ever designed, combine it with the unmatched power of a Magnetic Field Design (MFD) humbucker, and craft it all in the heart of Fullerton, California. That’s exactly what G&L achieved with the Fullerton Deluxe Kiloton bass.

The Kiloton’s body is based on the elegant SB-2, compact and beautifully contoured to fit every player. Crafted from premium Alder, this American-made version features a stunning Tangerine Metallic finish that demands attention.

At the heart of the Kiloton lies the MFD humbucker, positioned perfectly for a rich low end and crystal-clear articulation. The 3-way series/split/parallel toggle switch unleashes the true power of the pickup, while the intuitive volume and tone controls give you access to an expansive tonal palette.

The Kiloton is built for resonance and sustain, featuring a 6-bolt neck joint and a Leo Fender-designed Saddle-Lock bridge, ensuring that every vibration is transferred directly to the body for maximum impact. The neck, carved from premium Maple and topped with a silky-smooth Caribbean Rosewood fingerboard, offers unparalleled comfort and playability.

Also, you have to keep in mind that wood is a living material. Guitar’s geometry changes a little over time, adjusting to temperature and humidity, so there is no setup that can last forever. To save you a headache, we have a free setup service for our instruments! If you feel that something is off you can bring it to us so that we can return everything to it’s perfect original state.

For online orders we manually pack each guitar into a ton of wraps and carton and also have full insurance for all our shippings. So that you wouldn’t worry that something might happen on the way.

Saddle Lock Bridge

The G&L Saddle-Lock™ bridge showcases Leo Fender's innovative guitar engineering. It features a large protrusion on the underside that fits precisely into a routed area of the guitar body, optimizing contact for better string vibration transfer. This results in significantly enhanced sustain compared to traditional fixed bridges. By firmly anchoring the bridge to the body, G&L achieves superior resonance and tonal richness. Leo Fender's saddle design also minimizes string breakage and ensures consistent performance. Overall, the Saddle-Lock bridge embodies Fender's legacy of innovation and commitment to high-quality, reliable instruments.

MFD Pickups

As a signature feature of G&L, Magnetic Field Design (MFD) pickups are found in the majority of their electric guitars and basses, regarded as a defining characteristic. By transferring the magnetic field to the top of the pickup rather than the middle, they provide a responsive tone with clarity and a wide frequency response. And Leo Fender did this by constructing the MFD pickups utilizing a ceramic bar magnet (installed beneath each coil), with soft iron pole pieces. MFD pickups also yield about twice the output per wind, making them less noisy than most conventional pickups while allowing for greater overall output. The standout feature of MFD pickups is their adjustable pole pieces, enabling players to fine-tune the height of each pole piece for customized string output and EQ experimentation. As a result, the pickups produce less noise, have a very wide dynamic range, and more output while still retainging the glassy tone which we all love.
