Discover the G&L USA CLF Research Doheny V12, a guitar that marries the iconic offset body with groundbreaking tonal versatility. This electric guitar pays homage to Leo Fender's legacy, blending classic design with modern innovation. At its heart are the MFD humbuckers, meticulously crafted by the McLaren brothers to offer an expansive sonic palette. These pickups are not just about power; they're about precision, offering series-humbucking, parallel-humbucking, and single-coil modes for a variety of tonal possibilities.

The guitar's body is crafted from a choice of Swamp Ash or Alder, known for their bright and balanced tonal characteristics. The neck is a comfortable Hard-Rock Maple, adorned with a smooth Rosewood or Maple fretboard, making it a joy to play for hours on end. The 25.5" scale length and 9.5" radius ensure that your fingers glide effortlessly over 21 medium-jumbo nickel frets.

One of the Doheny V12's standout features is the Dual-Fulcrum vibrato bridge, a testament to Leo Fender's engineering prowess. It allows you to dive and soar with confidence, thanks to its stellar tuning stability supported by a 100% natural bone nut. Each pickup is independently controlled by a 3-way mini-toggle switch, giving you the power to shape your sound like never before.
