Description

Introducing the G&L Tribute Doheny - a modern musical marvel that beautifully marries vintage aesthetics with contemporary sonic versatility. Drawing inspiration from the classic guitar designs cherished by the surf bands of the '60s, the Tribute Doheny offers a superior playing experience with its well-balanced offset body and dynamic sound profile.

The Tribute Doheny sports a pair of Magnetic Field Design (MFD) jazz single-coil pickups. These unique pickups, with their narrow bobbin aperture and broad coil splay, generate a wide frequency range. They pump out rich lows, punchy mids, and jangly highs, ensuring a vibrant and full-bodied sound that can adapt to any musical style.

The guitar is further equipped with G&L's Passive Treble and Bass (PTB) tone system, which offers independent control over the highs and lows. This feature is ideal for musicians who love to fine-tune their sound, especially for fuzz and high-gain tones.

In addition, the Tribute Doheny is fitted with a Dual-Fulcrum tremolo, a thoughtful design by Leo Fender himself. This allows you to bend notes and chords up or down without worrying about tuning stability, even after deep dives. Truly, the G&L Tribute Doheny is a versatile instrument that caters to the creative potentials of every player.

Key Features:

  • Classic offset body for a well-balanced playing experience
  • Magnetic Field Design (MFD) single-coil jazz pickups that produce deep lows, punchy mids, and jangly highs
  • Passive Treble and Bass (PTB) tone controls for independent high-cut and low-cut options, enabling endless tonal combinations

  • Dual-Fulcrum vibrato designed by Leo Fender for expressive potential with impressive tuning stability

Amazing Value

I picked up one of these brand new on a trade and was pleasantly surprised.

Pros: - This model uses the same pickups as the American made version, which means the tone is very similar if not the same to the high dollar version. Both my friend who exclusively plays Suhr and Anderson guitars and I agree, the tone on this is pro. I would argue it beats out American made fender jazz masters. - Independent control of bass and rebel through the tone knobs. This feature is amazing to have because it really allows fo you to achieve a wide pallet of tones. The treble knob does what you’d typically expect. The bass allows for roll off bass to give you a better tone for overdrive rhythm parts or keep it for leads and full cleans. - The floating tremolo allows for pretty stable tuning. During a 45 minute set, I’ve only had to tune once after using the trem arm for most of it. - Once set up, this thing plays great!

Cons: - These don’t come from the factory set up well. I had to spend a good 45 minutes to get the pick-ups height adjusted to the sweet spot, the trem arm sitting right, and the string height in at a comfortable height. - The neck could be just a little bit wider. If you like to do bends on the E string, you might find your self pulling the string off the fretboard if you’re not careful. - Aesthetically, I wish they would have used a Pearloid pick guard to match the neck inlays.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

I like to run the neck pick-ups just a little higher so they have just a smidge more presence in the center position.
