Pre Owned G&L 1990/1991 Comanche VI Black Electric Guitar With OHSC
We just scored a rare bird from end of the Leo Fender era of G&L - this killer Comanche VI from 1990/1991. It's one of the more unique guitars from the storied history of the company, and this is a great example of their innovation.
The Comanche VI was developed by Dale Hyatt and Steve Reed to be a truly versatile instrument with a ton of tonal possibilities. It features an "overkill" pickup selector arrangement. It has 6 mini-toggles: a triplet of 2-position switches to turn the separate pups on/off, and a trio of 3-position switches to turn on either of the half-coils or both for a total of 63 useful combinations. There is another, more subtle difference between the Comanche V and VI: the latter in parallel which leads to a sweeter sounding pickup on the VI.
This one is in very good condition - there are a few small dings on the body and headstock, but nothing major. It has been vetted and set up to play perfectly by the techs in our repair shop.
The parts are all original, other than the replacement Sperzel tuners (the original tuners and original back plate are in the case). There are no holes where tuners were swapped - it's clean work. Unfortunately it did not come to us with a trem arm, and while the case is original, it does need a new handle
For those that know the Comanche VI is a very special instrument, and hard to come (especially from this era, and in this color). Get it know before it's gone.
