G&L USA Fullerton Deluxe Doheny HH Guitar, Jet Black
Player's Perspective
Music Store Live is proud to offer up this Fullerton Deluxe Doheny HH from our friends over at G&L. This is a smooth, versatile, American-crafted offset JM style guitar, but with enough twists to really set it apart and at a price tag way below what it should be. This newest Doheny comes equipped with 2 alnico magnet humbuckers from G&L.
Tonally, you've got a wealth of tonal options at your fingertips. The neck humbucker is smooth, rich, and creamy, while the bridge is a bit more aggressive, brighter, and handles distortion wonderfully. The neck is sublime! It's round and extremely comfortable everywhere, with easy access to the upper frets. The pickups sound simply divine and G&L's PBT system really adds a wealth of versatility to this traditional design with passive bass and treble roll-off controls. Leo's MFD pickup designs have always had a lot of power to them and have always been on the aggressive end of the spectrum (while easily being able to be tamed with the onboard passive bass and treble tone controls as well as playing technique).
We plugged this bad boy into an amp and listened in amazement as everything from bright, clean, and twangy, to dark, grungy, and heavy, to warm, mellow, and jazzy, to funky treble and bluesy distortion effortlessly translated from the guitar, through the amp, and every note was crystal clear, articulate, and defined.
Is this G&L's greatest invention in the last 25 years? Well... It definitely needs to be up there for serious consideration. But we'll let you make that call for yourself.
Manufacturer's Description
The Fullerton Deluxe Doheny® HH delivers classic covered bucker tones kicked up a notch with pairing of a G&L AS4255C in the neck position and AW4368C at the bridge. That’s ASAT Deluxe territory, but Doheny HH adds G&L’s PTB system which allows bass roll-off, a big advantage in high gain situations like cranked fuzz pedals. Plus the push/pull coil tap serves up convincing single-coil tones that further expand the potential of this versatile axe.
The Fullerton Deluxe Doheny HH 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.
