The last company Leo Fender worked for, G&L is a better Fender guitar than actual Fender guitars. This guitar was seemingly designed for me. I prefer bolt-ons - but the Fallout is not a string-through bridge design. One of the last gifts Leo Fender left us is the bridge on this guitar - very sturdy, gives an option of tight or jingly saddles, and there's no screws sticking into your palm. The neck plays like butter and it stays in tune well. The pickups are clean and makes the guitar a Swiss Army Knife-like tool. The P90 in the neck gives incredible clean tones and gruff dirty tones - the humber in the neck allows for soaring leads and, unlike many split-able humbuckers, the coil-split option actually sounds like a single-coil. This is my go-to axe.

The thinline body; the satin finished, binding-less neck; effective Fishman electronics; the punchy tonal qualities make this the ultimate nylon string for me. It's my #1 guitar.
