Fiesta is Spanish for "Party." And with new SC-2 limited production, it's party time. The SC-series "Mustang" shape has a long history at G&L but was dropped from the catalog at the end of 2017, presumably due the popularity of the Fallout. Granted you could get the same MFD pickups in the ASAT Special, but some players loved the clean styling and compact body shape of the SC-2.
We started a discussion with G&L in early August 2024 about testing the waters with a new run of SC-2's, and they were all over it. G&L took this opportunity to re-engineer the SC-2 CNC programs to insure that all the fits and dimensions were spot on. And while our first batch of guitars were DFV (yes, many SC-2 had vibrato) this is our first example with their chunky Saddle Lock bridge. We also opted for the Modern Classic neck profile, as this is far and away G&L's most popular neck profile (At the time it was discontinued the SC-2 was using the Classic C 1-5/8" profile).
We also wanted to bring back the ASAT Super bridge pickup, which was standard in the SC-2 but dropped in the last years of SC-2 production. The Super bridge bumps up the windings to thicken the midrange and slightly soften the top end. It's not significantly higher in output, but fattens up the response for better pedal performance and rock-ability. You give up a little twang, but it makes the SC-2 a better rock guitar. We also have this pickup available separately as an upgrade item.
The "new" SC-2 is not officially in the Build-to-Order catalog, but the capability to build one now exists...in the Custom Shop too. It's good to have an old friend back, and big thanks to the folks at G&L who helped make it happen.
Note: The build sheet is not correct and says Slim C profile. We are getting this fixed.
