After he sold Fender and exited his collaboration with Music Man, Leo Fender founded a brand-new company that would play host to his final electric guitar and bass innovations. Leo called G&L Guitars the best instruments he ever made – the problem was that by the time he formed his new line of instruments, his accomplishments in the music industry were already etched in the history books.

In this podcast, Ian and Sharon explore the history of G&L Guitars, compare some of the company’s most popular models, and take a look behind the scenes of Leo’s private workshop in Fullerton, California!
