Essential G&L model

One pickup, one volume, and no tone control so my expectations were modest. WRONG!! This thing sounds outstanding! Definitely not for all music types but for grunge and all types of hard rock, it's outstanding. Of course it's a given that you can play Alice in Chains and be blown away. I mean you can sound exactly like every AIC album. Paired with the JC Wah pedal, you can sound EXACTLY like Dirt and Facelift. But... playing ANY kind of heavy medal is where it really shines. And the Khaler tremolo blows Floyd Rose out of the water. I bend this thing as far as it goes in both directions and it never touches the neck or comes out of tune. Never broke one string. I was going to swap pickup for a SD JB but never felt the need once I started playing. It sounds outstanding as it is and I didn't want to change a thing. No tone knob needed and if it had one, I would have it set to get exactly the tone it has out of the box. This guitar won't blow anyone away at a blues jam, but you won't get ignored either. But for heavy songs, this guitar is way more versatile than it looks

Jerry Cantrell’s main guitar of choice is the G&L Rampage. “They’ve always felt really right to me,” Cantrell says at (2:35). “You know, it’s based off of a, kind of a Eddie Van Halen model almost, you know, kind of a wider flatter neck with, you know, with a single pickup and single volume knob and a tremolo system.”

For his tribute model, G&L made some modifications. According to Cantrell, at (3:41), the guitar “is based off of the original design with a couple of things that I modded. One was putting a Floyd Rose nut at the locking nut because the mechanism they used back in the mid-80s was just terrible. I mean it just broke, and it was weak. It never really held… We changed the pickup out...It was a Jeff Beck. This is actually a motor city, I think, pickup right now, and the tremolo systems were also flattened down and on top of the body, but when you took the tremolo down, you know, the E would pop out of the saddle quite a bit, so what I do was kind of sync and countersync it, and give it a little bit more attention on that nut to keep that string in the saddle.”

He continues at (4:05), saying “] So they’re in the process of putting that out, and I think they’ve done a really good job of that, and I know it’s been reviewed a couple times, and I think people are really digging it, you know. It’s not a super high-end guitar and it’s just kind of a meat and potato solid guitar. It’s made out of a hard rock, rock maple and neck. It’s got an ebony fretboard and the body I believe is maple as well.”
