G&L Comanche Pearl Grey 2022 Electric w/ Hardshell Case *Authorized Dealer*

The neck position is powerful and full bodied with a strong midrange presence. Its tonality is somewhat similar to a moderate humbucker but with better note definition and attack. It does not have the scooped mids of a traditional Legacy neck pickup, but we urge you to experiment to the wide range of shadings available with G&L's passive bass and treble controls. The middle pickup is bold and "stringy" and sounds very much like a traditional middle pickup but stronger and with more presence. The special Hell-Billy version of the Z-3 pickup was originally developed for Will Ray of the Hellecasters. The increased windings (8K resistance vs normally 5K) of the Hell-Billy pickup adds midrange fullness and less high end sharpness. This makes the bridge pickup even more pedal friendly.

Thanks to the strong output of these pickups, the in-between sounds are especially punchy and tasty. If you're type of player that loves the neck + middle and middle + bridge settings, the Comanche just kills these type of tones with lots of attack and clarity. In addition, the mini-toggle switch also allows selection of neck+bridge or all three pickups which is a great smooth rhythm setting. And like all G&L Legacy-style guitars, the passive Volume, Treble and Bass controls give added flexibility to roll off the treble for added warmth, or roll off the bass for a leaner traditional single coil sound.

The Z-coil Comanche is not new, but for those who have not tried it, the Comanche offers a unique and flexible take on the S-type format. It's a powerful and dynamic instrument that can sound a little 335-ish, belt our righteous crunch tones, and still quack and cluck like a vintage instrument. If you are in love with the shape and feel of a Legacy style guitar but yearn for more power and presence, the Comanche is just the ticket.
