How to create the perfect bass guitar? You need to put a powerful bass humbucker on the elegant shape of the SB2! That's what Leo Fender decided, and that's how the new G&L Kiloton Obass was born! She has the most comfortable body Leo has ever made. It is compact and with every contour and curve perfectly executed.

The Magnetic Field Design humbucker is positioned in the most ideal position for good low end and perfect readability. Whereas a three position series/split/parallel control switch uses the power of the coils. Simple volume and tone controls are incredibly effective, revealing the wide array of textures that mfd pickups are known for. The Kiloton features a 6-bolt neck and a Leo Fender-designed Saddle-Lock bridge to transfer all the energy directly to the end of the body for an incredibly resonant instrument.

The Tribute series is the youngest in the G&L lineup. However, they totally nailed it in terms build quality and, importantly, original USA components. Pickups and bridges on all guitars of the Tribute series are exactly the same as on top American instruments.

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.

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.
