Based on Clarence Leo Fender (CLF, see?)’s late-’70s designs, the L-2000 features classic touches, including an early CLF/G&L headstock and neck profile, CLF knobs and ’81 control plate, and colour-coded mini toggle switch tips.
Other specs include G&L Magnetic Field humbuckers (complete with Tri-Tone system), hard-rock maple necks with rosewood or maple fingerboards and a G&L Saddle Lock bridge.
Thin urethane finish choices include Candy Apple Red or Jet Black over basswood, Natural Ash, and faded 3-Tone Sunburst over Okoume.
The CLF Research L-2000 is available now in the USA, with prices TBC. See G&L Guitars for more info.
