G&L Introduces the Fullerton Deluxe Skyhawk

George Fullerton’s evolved double-cutaway design with a hint of offset elements.

Fullerton, CA (May 7, 2019) -- G&L is pleased to announce the addition of the Fullerton Deluxe Skyhawk to its range of made in Fullerton of instruments.

Like the original G&L Skyhawk of 1984, it starts with George Fullerton’s evolved double-cutaway with a hint of offset, a slim waist and generous curves.  This very comfortable body is complemented by his arched pickguard shape, his most most pleasing iteration of the form.

You’ll find plenty of punch in the MFD pickups, but what’s surprising is how glassy and detailed they become as you roll back the volume and bass controls, the latter a part of the Skyhawk's PTB™ (Passive Treble and Bass) system which functions on all three pickups. What’s more, the Skyhawk includes a mini-toggle switch to allow neck+bridge or all three pickups together. In a pinch, the neck+bridge combo does a convincing faux ASAT™ Special. Talk about versatile!

The Fullerton Deluxe Skyhawk is available in:

  • 3-Tone Sunburst over Alder body, Caribbean rosewood fingerboard, Vintage Gloss neck finish
  • Clear Orange over Ash body, Maple fingerboard, Vintage Gloss neck finish

The Fullerton Deluxe Skyhawk is now shipping with a street price starting around $1600 for Clear Orange and $1500 for 3-Tone Sunburst.

Many of our younger selves would struggle to understand the urge—indeed, the need—to play quieter. My first real confrontation with this ever-more-present reality arrived when Covid came to town. For many months, I could only sneak into my studio space late at night to jam or review anything loud. Ultimately, the thing that made it possible to create and do my job in my little apartment was a reactive load box (in this case, a Universal Audio OX). I set up a Bassman head next to my desk and, with the help of the OX, did the work of a gear editor as well as recorded several very cathartic heavy jams, with the Bassman up to 10, that left my neighbors none the wiser.
