G&L TRIBUTE GTS FIORANO TRANS RED GUITAR
G&L was Leo Fender’s contemporary vision of what electric guitars and basses could be.
His unlimited creativity and passion shaped contemporary music, a man whose instruments broke traditions and established new ones.
At G&L, he continued to press onward with innovative designs, refining concepts he pioneered decades before while immersing himself in developments occurring throughout the guitar and bass industry.
The Fiorano: Tradition Turns Groundbreaking
G&L founder Leo Fender had a vision for a new guitar, and his partner George Fullerton sketched that vision. G&L’s Steve Grom uncovered the sketch three decades later in Leo’s workshop, and his colleague Paul Gagon set about turning the vision into reality. He enlisted Jackson Guitars founder Grover Jackson – a long-time friend and collaborator – to contribute.
The result is an instrument that’s steeped in rock-guitar history but groundbreaking: the Fiorano, the first set-neck, 25½”-scale, three-tuners-to-a-side guitar G&L has ever offered. It’s a striking instrument and, quite simply, it kicks ass.
It joins the pioneering 24¾”-scale Ascari in G&L’s Tribute Series, and it delivers on its promise. The 24-fret neck and Gagon-designed humbuckers are made for brutal riffing and detuned/drop-tuned heaviness – but the Fiorino cleans up beautifully when asked.
The sweeping lines and three-by-three headstock (inspired by the original drawing) are both powerful and refined. Fittingly, we named Fiorano after the curvaceous test track of Italy’s most renowned supercar maker, a place where tradition turns groundbreaking.
