I have had one in Mint Green for about two years. It has become my go to guitar for some time. Always stays in tune. The pickups are outstanding and the bridge is also special. For the money you can't beat it.
I have a surf green Tribute version and I really like it. It's nice and light and holds It's tuning really well. That bridge design really makes it sustain and ring out.
G&L S-500 strat style, hands down the best strat I`ve ever played, the MFD pickups are insanely good, the floating bridge, never goes out of tune, mine has the series switch too which gives it every tone you could ever want. Also have an ASAT Special with the MFD fatties, Leo & George kept progressing while Fender rested on it`s laurels and tech wise got left for dead, sad but true!
The tones on the jam track were pretty wild! Let me know what you think of G&L and this somewhat obscure Fallout electric guitar! Left and right-handed guitar links are below. This is a pretty cool guitar and it's impressively light-weight and versatile! 🛒Jerry's Lefty Guitars - www.jerrysleftyguitars.com 🛒 Right-Handed Option - guitar-center.pxf.io/AoeOy7 🛒Hot Rod Deluxe - imp.i114863.net/zakDKO 🛒 Strymon Iridium - imp.i114863.net/0J3B6M (affiliate links)
I own a U.S. made Legacy. The Best S-Style guitar that I have ever owned! (...and I've tried to love the Fender Strats... MANY of them! No comparison for me!) If I was looking for that style of guitar.... G&L would definitely be on my radar.
My G&L's are in my top favorite guitars. My favorite is back and forth (depending on my mood) between my G&L Fullerton Deluxe Legacy (HB) and my American Professional II Stratocasters. I also own a couple of their Tribute Legacy (Made in Indonesia) guitars, and I consistently pick them up before I reach for my Made in Mexico Player Strats, but not my Modern Player Strat (Made in Japan). Thank you again to Jerry's Lefty Guitars, Rhyannon for her camera work, and you for the great demo, review, and video. Please keep them coming. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Great review. I recently bought one of these in shell pink. Plays and sounds fantastic. Totally agree it's "something different". Definitely sounds and feels very unique compared to more traditional models.
I just realised from all the guitars behind you that you are in "The Leftorium" that is owned by Ned Flanders. Great demo btw. You inspired me to get an Artist Tweedtone 20 watt and I have no regrets. What an amp! There is an an as-new USA Fallout here for sale in Byron Bay where i live but I have all the guitars I need, but thats why I watched this. Awesome guitar
Mine is the same except. Mine is red and mine is right handed. You play so great. I love your reviews plus love to hear you play. Keep playing and the great reviews.
Two years ago, I owned five guitars, with an American Deluxe Strat as my no.1, followed by a Godin Session, a Carvin TL60, a Michael Kelly Hybrid Special, and an Ibanez Acoustic. Today, I own five electrics, four of which are G&L's. My main guitar is an option order S-500; I also have a Legacy HSS, an older Legacy HB, and an option order Doheny (Jazzmaster style). The American Deluxe Strat is no.5, hasn't come out of it's case in months, and is about to be offered for sale, as it can't compete with any of the Fullerton made guitars in terms of playability or tone. I believe that the quality level of G&L's can't be matched by anything Fender offers short of Custom Shop models.
Excellent guitar. I have never seen that finish. That one is amazing. Nice and lightweight. Bridge is far better than the stamped saddles on the Squire/Fender There's a lot to be said for buying American, because they have far better labor standards than the Chinese factories.
Had a G&L tribute series telecaster and I thought it looked cool but it was way heavy, and felt uncomfortable to play… traded up to the G&L Fallout in Surf green and I couldn’t be happier. By far the nicest and most versatile guitar I’ve owned.
I have a USA made one, and I was not happy with the frets for the price of the guitar. I wrote to G&l, and they had me ship it to them. 2 weeks later, I got it back with a great fret job with polished, rounded frets. It should have never left the factory like it was, but at least they made the neck second to none. Great light guitar that is super versatile.
Hey man 🤘! Looks awesome Shane I love the p90 in the neck and hb bridge...it's probably my next pickup configuration when I purchase another guitar... 😆..I may need to trade one in ..but idk man..I'm down to main 5 and I still don't have a tele....I know... watsup w that right? Lol..I want a more modern tele I think but want it to sound like a tele when I want it to... would love a p90 in it somewhere too ..guitar sounds great man🤘😜🎸🤘
Thought the P90 sounded pretty crisp - I have Gibson P90's and to get a crisp tone I have to turn down the guitar volume (with treble bleed installed) and even so still turn up the treble on the amp!
I didn't notice it on the day but I quite literally am pulling guitars off the wall and shooting a video with them. It felt pretty balanced to my recollection.
While it sounds fantastic, you might have addressed the one obvious manufacturing defect. I know it is barely noticeable at first but once you see it it can’t be unseen. The entire neck is pointing the wrong way. No really, I love G&L guitars. My ASAT Special is my favorite guitar ever.
dude call me crazy but are you using an s5 and fx3 to make this video. I can see the color difference and Panny Boy Wins lol Beautiful guitar and killer playing man!
I have the USA FALLOUT guitar now - I bought the FALLOUT TRIBUTE first. SO what's the difference? TRIBUTE is a GREAT guitar for the price hands down. This USA neck is better built and the electronics are better - the tuning keys are better quality - The bridge is better quality metal I can tell just by looking at it. The body is ALDER not POPLAR - The neck pickup is a ZEBRA HUMBUCKER & BLOWS DOORS on the tribute humbucker. I did a side by side recording of the 2 and the USA is just WAY better sounding - BUT the TRIBUTE is one heck of a deal if you can't afford the USA and WELL worth the $599,00
It may need a setup as it's a used guitar. Due to recording multiple videos a day with a loud amp, with the ear fatigue, I didn't notice it on the day.

Love the wood grain. Great looking and sounding guitar 🎸!!!
Hey Shane , I like this one - always like the tone of a p90 in neck position - Cheers mate

My sentiments exactly!
Sounds awesome !!! I've looked at these several times but, never purchased one ... going to have to now !! Thanks mate !!
Reminds me of my old G&L SC-3.
Loved that guitar!
One of my favorite guitars! Absolutely love this! Great video. 😁
Leo got it right. Putting a P90 at the neck and Humbucker at the neck. Together they sound so cool.
Now that’s a guitar!! G&L’s are amazing no doubt about it. The Fallout will be my next purchase!! 👍

That’s a sharp looking guitar. Sounds good also. Thank you for the review.
Great review.

Great review! Showed all the options. I have one of these. Great to know what it's capable of even if I'm not.

Beauty of a guitar! Great playing as always, Shane. Reminds me a lot of the PRS Vela - one of my favorites!
I'm sold Shane! This is EXACTLY the axe I've been looking for!! 🙂👍🎯🎶🎵🎶
Well I got a G and L and it plays great. I love the pickups. Love that coil split and the P90 in the neck. Great Guitar. Thanks for the review.

Last year, I got a G&L fallout tribute in light blue ( like Daphne?)....I got the same pickups as in the American version. AMAZING GUITAR!
Very Nice review quick and concise as always, you th’ man Shane!
Excellent guitar. I have never seen that finish. That one is amazing. Nice and lightweight. Bridge is far better than the stamped saddles on the Squire/Fender

this is my first time on your channel. You play very beautiful blues!
Many thanks 🙏

Love your videos. Keep it up. And thanks for giving me my daily dose of Oz.
I have one and love it ... Really awesome guitar !
Wow!! A Very nice guitar and some sweet playing, Shane.

I have chance to buy one. I hope i get to buy one. Let ya know. Your a great player. Love ya reviews.
My favorite, the background all those left handed!!!
Nice jam bro liked it
Looks slick great tones
Great sound! Can’t lie, I kept looking at those Paoletti guitars 🤩. 🙏🏻 Shane ✌🏼
So, how does it play? How does it feel? What's the neck profile? What's the scale? Not much info here.
What's the song of the backing track? Can't remember it for some reason. Also really cool to see an original body shape in lefty!
I have the Tribute model and love it.
Is the middle position out of phase? I think perhaps swaping the leed on one of the pickups would put it in phase.
Hey man 🤘! Looks awesome Shane I love the p90 in the neck and hb bridge...it's probably my next pickup configuration when I purchase another guitar... 😆..I may need to trade one in ..but idk man..I'm down to main 5 and I still don't have a tele....I know... watsup w that right? Lol..I want a more modern tele I think but want it to sound like a tele when I want it to... would love a p90 in it somewhere too ..guitar sounds great man🤘😜🎸🤘
Thanks and hello from our new channel! 🙏 #Falloutguita #glguitars
Thanks guys! Rock on.
Remember G&L = George & LEO! Rockin' axe Shane!
G&L make some pretty nice guitars for sure.
I have a candy apple red one
I love G&L ❤️ Great value, Leo's best in my opinion. Blues On....💙
Thought the P90 sounded pretty crisp - I have Gibson P90's and to get a crisp tone I have to turn down the guitar volume (with treble bleed installed) and even so still turn up the treble on the amp!
name of the song at 8:02?
Just some free TH-cam library music track. I'm not sure, sorry mate.
That hum, though. 😮
Jerry's place has a huge issue with buzz. It's no worse than standard single coils.
Very nice. Neck dive, as at times light guitars do?
I didn't notice it on the day but I quite literally am pulling guitars off the wall and shooting a video with them. It felt pretty balanced to my recollection.
Loved the placement of the guitar cord into the side of the body. Great review Shane.
But it makes it difficult to play if you want to sit on the lounge.
@@goog646 Just get a cable with a 90 on the end. Or do what everyone else does and get a chair.
@@shelbyavant5081 really? EVERYONE else gets a chair 😂? Thanks, but I'll stick with my lounge and my wireless plug in and my top mounted outputs 👍👍
@@goog646 "Lounge"🤌 😁 Worst place ever for the jack is the front of the axe, bro. Only Strat gets a pass 😅 Is it a really nice lounge?
Cool guitar. I'd like a G&L one day. And you're basically in the Ned Flanders "Leftorium" for guitar players. That must be like heaven. 😂
Man, this place rocks. I like to come here every few years to get my fix! haha.
While it sounds fantastic, you might have addressed the one obvious manufacturing defect. I know it is barely noticeable at first but once you see it it can’t be unseen. The entire neck is pointing the wrong way.
No really, I love G&L guitars. My ASAT Special is my favorite guitar ever.
Is this finish available in right hand?
dude call me crazy but are you using an s5 and fx3 to make this video. I can see the color difference and Panny Boy Wins lol Beautiful guitar and killer playing man!
Great eye! Sony Fx3, A7S3 and GH6 😄👍
@@intheblues thanks!!

I own the Tribute (cheaper) version of this guitar. It has great tones and plenty output, though mine is 3,9kg so nowhere near the weight of this one.
was that jam track of your own making?
I record my own tracks for the videos yes.
Can’t find that colour anywhere, is it out yet ??
I posted a link through the guitar in the description and pinned comment. This is a used guitar.
Out of tune? Intonation out?
I heard that TOO a bit!
It may need a setup as it's a used guitar. Due to recording multiple videos a day with a loud amp, with the ear fatigue, I didn't notice it on the day.
@@intheblues I definitely understand that Bro. Great playing as always though!
@@intheblues Makes a LOT of sense!
Not feeling this one too much although I do like the P90/humbucker combination. 😎
Reverend has a good option with the OG!! I’m not sure if they have lefties though!!
Wow
Always been interested in G&L, but I understand they don't hold thier value very well
So buy a used one and come out smelling like a rose.
Fallout isn't a great name, but sounds like a decent guitar.
Cool. You're in the US. If you pass through Louisville, Kentucky, look me up. My email is in my video descriptions.
Thanks Brad. I’m actually (sadly) back to winter here in Australia. I’ll shout you an email either way 😎👍
