G&L CLF Research Espada, Sonic Blue







G&L CLF Research Espada, Sonic Blue
The G&L CLF Research Espada revives a two-pickup design first developed by Leo Fender’s CLF Research team in the late 1960s. This Sonic Blue version pairs an alder body with a hard-rock maple neck, maple fingerboard, parchment pickguard, and 21 medium-jumbo frets. Two hum-cancelling Espada MFD split-coil pickups offer clear, powerful tones, while the series/parallel switch moves between fuller and brighter sounds. G&L’s PTB controls provide separate treble and bass adjustment. A three-position preamp switch adds passive, buffered, and high-frequency-boost modes. The 25.5-inch scale, Saddle-Lock bridge, and 9.5-inch fingerboard radius suit rock, blues, indie, funk, and experimental playing. A deluxe G&L gig bag is included.
Every guitar in our store is completely checked and set up by our guitar luthiers so that the guitar is easy to play yet without buzz. And if you have any special wishes regarding setup - tell us (or specify) when making an order and we will be happy to make a perfect guitar for you :)
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.
