G&L-Related Books
G&L: Leo's Legacy, by Paul Bechtoldt Though it's tough to call this a "book", this pamphlet-like document by G&L historian (and past Vintage Guitar columnist) Paul Bechtoldt is worth checking out. It may be hard to find, as it has been out of print for some time.
Guitar Legends: The Evolution of the Guitar from Fender to G&L, by George Fullerton This book, of course, mainly focuses on George's and Leo's experiences at Fender, but the section on G&L guitars is worth a read as well. Also an excellent color photo section. This book can be ordered online at Amazon.com, or directly from Centerstream Publishing.
Guitars From George & Leo: How Leo Fender and I Built G&L Guitars, by George Fullerton Finally published - George's new book about his life with business partner and lifelong friend - Leo Fender. This book can be ordered online at Amazon.com.
Fender: The Sound Heard 'Round the World, by Richard R. Smith Again, this book (as the name would imply) primarily focuses on Fender. However, there is an excellent short section devoted to G&L as well. This one's on Amazon.com as well.
