Dual-Fulcrum tremolo expands your creative potential





If you're drawn to the creative potential a tremolo bridge offers, but are concerned about tuning stability, you definitely need to audition the Tribute Comanche. It's equipped with G&L's Dual-Fulcrum tremolo, an original design by Leo Fender himself. You'll be able to bend notes and chords up or down with amazing tuning stability ? even after deep dives.





PTB tone system: tone knobs you'll love





The more we play with G&L's PTB tone system here at Sweetwater, the more we realize how useful it is to have a low-cut control on an electric guitar. The PTB tone system essentially includes one traditional tone knob to roll off high frequencies, and another tone knob to roll off low frequencies. The bass roll-off is especially useful for high-gain applications like fuzz pedals, tightening up low-end punch and keeping your tone from getting too muddy. It's also a great way to add guitar overdubs to a mix without adding too much low-mid frequency content.





Z-Coil pickups deliver single-coil character without the hum





Take a look at the G&L Tribute Comanche, and your eyes will naturally be drawn to its unique Magnetic Field Design Z?Coil pickups ? one of Leo Fender’s own magnificent innovations. These pickups sound bright and sparkly in the top end and thick and robust in the bottom end. They supply fantastic tone as is, and they also serve as an excellent foundation for further shaping with pedals. Plus, there's a push-pull expander that opens up more sonic option, including having both neck and bridge pickups together or having all three pickups active at the same time.
