About This Listing
No. 5381, weight = 8 pounds 3 ounces. Case is NOT included. We have a special Doheny size TKL heavy built, heavy padded Gig bag for just $90 available.
Introducing G&L Doheny®: the Evolution of the Offset Inspired by the classic surf sound born in Southern California, the new G&L Doheny takes its name from the iconic beach in the heart of Orange County where ’60s surf pioneers became legends. Since those halcyon days, both music and surfing have evolved far beyond their roots, and so has the performance of the gear.
Doheny takes the bolt-on offset-body into new sonic territory with newly developed Magnetic Field Design™ jazz pickups, the first on any production G&L. Naturally, these new pickups will invite comparison to Leo’s jumbo MFD™ ASAT® Special pickups, given they employ a narrow bobbin aperture and broad coil splay. But Doheny’s MFD pickups are more about jangle than twang, just as they should be for a guitar like this. With a classic jazz bobbin aperture wrapped with traditional Formvar wire, these pickups just might be the approach Leo would have taken had he been with us a few years longer.
So what’s it like? The sound is rich in harmonics yet surprisingly full, the result of carefully researching and applying Leo’s creative work across the decades. The Doheny pickups deliver the experience fans have hoped for, with their flexibility maximized by the PTB* tone system that allows echoes of yesteryear while delivering more output and range for today’s music. Add in Leo’s finest vibrato for enhanced tuning stability and improved sustain, and the results are astoundingly wonderful! New for 2022 is this beautiful Emerald Blue Metallic over Poplar, 3-ply white pickguard, Maple fingerboard, black block inlays, vintage tint satin neck finish. Specs include:
Neck Material - Hard Rock Maple Neck Shape - Medium C Neck Joint - Bolt-on Fingerboard Radius 12" Fingerboard Material - Hard Maple Fingerboard Inlay - Black Blocks Number of Frets - 21 Scale Length - 25.5" Nut Width 1.6875" Bridge/Tailpiece - G&L Dual Fulcrum Vibrato Neck Pickup - G&L Doheny MFD Single-coil Bridge Pickup - G&L Doheny MFD Single-coil Controls - 1 x master volume, 2 x tone Switching -3-way toggle pickup switch
**P.T.B.-Passive Treble and Bass Controls-Dramatically more effective than a standard tone control, treble and bass frequencies can be separately cut with this exclusive passive style circuitry via two separate tone knobs.
