Here’s my all original ‘85 Superhawk! Still my favorite among all of my guitars, it just does everything right. Let’s see your 80’s Leo creations!

Awesome, wish more guitars had Kahlers. I've had to talk myself out of buying same-era Invaders

OK...

BaBam!!

1981 F-100 And a 1983 Nighthawk

Red 1987 Invader with Kahler Vibrato and an 1987 YELLOW Invader with Leo Fender Pat. Pend. Vibrato

1987 YELLOW Invader with Leo Fender Pat. Pend. Vibrato (yes,I have two of these and want more) And an 1981 G-200 under rehab.

05/22/96 Broadcaster 876 (AFAIK the last one made) and 01/02/06 Broadcaster 813

05/01/86 Broadcaster 003 (from Dale Hyatt's collection.) And a Jan. 16, 1980 F-100 Prototype, perhaps one of the earliest known example.

I wish I had a safe space to lay all the guitars out and take a group photo, but this will have to do. I also have some wonderful post Leo Era G&L's that make up my G&L family.

Here's my two: 1981 F-100 and 1982 S-500

Maybe I'm young; hot F100 pickups and MFD singles seem well suited to rock, but not in the way that say a JB-loaded guitar or Super Distortion Jackson or something does. Which makes me ask: who were guitars like the F100 & S500/Hawk series really marketed to? The same as the Invader/Rampage market, Jazz guys, session players or different?

Those yellow, red and ebony guitars are great. Keep em coming folks.

awesome guitars, just truly awesome! Although I love all of my G&l’s, the early thru mid late 80’s is definitely my favorite designs of Leo’s really stepping out of the box.

Leo has been quoted saying G&L were the best guitars he's ever made, and I truly believe it. I own a 2017 USA Jerry Cantrell Signature Rampage, absolutely the finest guitar I've ever owned... but, I'm sad because nobody has posted an 80's Era original Rampage, I know they were discontinued around '90-'91, but I thought they'd all sold out. Probably my first introduction to the Rampage in the 80's was KISS / White Tiger guitarist Mark St. John.

I've got three F-100's, a Cavalier, an SC-3, and a Skyhawk. They are all pictured on my introduction page. It is too much trouble to repost them all here.

Any SC-{1,2,3} is a rock machine IMO.
Would love to have an Invader at some point.
