G&L at winter NAMM 2020 ...

Recently posted on G&L's facebook page:

#BigLeo will be at our NAMM Booth #4833 this year. Come by and take a pic and use the hashtag #BigLeo.

Dean Coy and I will be there. I will be taking photos of the booth and posting them during or shortly after the event (1/16-19).

I should have got a ticket this year. I really wanted to get my hands on a few G&L necks to figure out what I want before I drop the money on a custom order. Big Leo is looking good though.

This G&L Custom Shop CLF Research L-2500 will be at our NAMM Booth #4388 Thursday through Sunday.

NAMM 2020 is right around the corner.

^Those are really cool.

The one the left catches my eyes. I think it will look even better with black screws on the pickguard.

Me too!

Looking forward to what's to be revealed next...

Report from the NAMM setup crew: #BigLeo is massive. Seems fitting, as almost all of the people attending the show owe their careers to the instruments and opportunities created by Leo Fender. Even if you worked your whole career at Gibson (let’s just assume, ok?) the musical instruments business and music itself was radically and forever changed by Leo. - Dave McLaren

Natasha Fatale as a mermaid, that rules. Keep the pictures coming!

I'm eager to hear that Espanada,

My brother John accepting the NAMM Believe In Music award, a nice touch since it’s the 40th anniversary of the G&L brand. Not my pic, because I showed up like 10 seconds too late, walking up the aisle toward the podium as John was coming down. This total derp moment made me laugh, so I’d like to thank Marriott for their support in making me late. - Dave McLaren

Does the Espada in that video have a Wenge neck?

I wonder if there will ever be "Option Order" Espadas available?

No, it has a Roasted Quarter Sawn Maple neck.


I have not heard that the Espada will be an Option Order instrument; just a CLF Research and a Custom Shop build for now.

So my old friend Guitar Shorty rolls up in fine form, doesn’t see me sneak up and start messing with his scooter. This guy is a legend. Married Jimi Hendrix’s sister and taught little Jimi guitar licks. Did front flips - FRONT FREAKING FLIPS - off his amp, land on his feet and keep ripping. I’ll never forget the first time I saw him do it in the early 1990s. I thought he was lit and was gonna faceplant but no... he pulled it off. So I said “Hold my beer” and...nope, I’m not that crazy, but Shorty is.

Our booth at the 2020 Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA was jam packed. Our awesome house photographer, Michael Dee, captured the action.

The McLaren brothers with #BigLeo. The show absolutely rocked for G&L and everyone was so cool. Gotta have fun

It was nice getting a view of the show. Thanks.
Between the G&L coverage and The Heritage Guitar coverage, it's almost like being there. Almost.
The Orange-ish Skyhawk caught my eye as well as some Asat's. Beautiful!
Next year G&L should (please) hand out Leo Pocket Protectors.

That would be the Fullerton Deluxe Skyhawk HH in Hugger Orange. And, yes they did bring back a couple of the DMS colors.
The other being Sublime Green.



Here's the new Fullerton Deluxe Legacy SSH in Sublime Green:




Good call on the pocket protector.

This one’s for you, Leo - Dave McLaren
