G&L Fullerton Deluxe Skyhawk Electric Guitar in Lake Placid Blue

<p>Like the original G&amp;L Skyhawk of 1984, it starts with George Fullerton&rsquo;s evolved double-cutaway with a hint of offset, a slim waist and generous curves.&nbsp; This very comfortable body is complemented by his arched pickguard shape, his most most pleasing iteration of the form.</p> <p>The elegant pickguard meets a beautiful control plate in chrome, a perfect backdrop for the exquisitely machined and chrome plated knobs for volume, treble and bass. The Skyhawk features a Leo Fender-designed Dual-Fulcrum vibrato, a work of engineering art which allows bending up or down with unsurpassed stability, while offering a silky feel through its beefy aluminum vibrato arm.</p> <p>You&rsquo;ll find plenty of punch in the MFD pickups, but what&rsquo;s surprising is how glassy and detailed they become as you roll back the volume and bass controls, the latter a part of the Skyhawk&rsquo;s PTB&trade; (Passive Treble and Bass) system which functions on all three pickups. What&rsquo;s more, the Skyhawk includes a mini-toggle switch to allow neck+bridge or all three pickups together. In a pinch, the neck+bridge combo does a convincing faux ASAT&trade; Special. Talk about versatile!</p> <p><em>Founded by Leo Fender in 1980, G&amp;L USA instruments continue to be made in the historic CLF Research / G&amp;L facility on Fender Avenue in Fullerton, California, the Birthplace of Bolt-on&trade;.</em></p> <p><em>The G&amp;L name, stylized G&amp;L logo, distinctive &ldquo;hook&rdquo; headstock design, CLF, Skyhawk, S-500 ASAT, Magnetic Field Design and MFD are registered trademarks or trademarks of G&amp;L Musical Instruments / BBE Sound, Inc.</em></p>
