neither of which are "official" G&L Facebook pages. Only the "G&L Musical Instruments" page is the "official" Facebook

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.

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. |
