CLF Research L•2500

In the late 1970s, Clarence Leo Fender† was looking forward to launching his new G&L brand featuring his latest innovations including Magnetic Field Design pickups and the Saddle Lock bridge.  Leo developed these technologies at his CLF™ Research company, and production of the new G&L instruments took place in the CLF Research factory on Fender Avenue in Fullerton, California, where G&L production continues today.

The new CLF Research L•2500 pays homage to its roots with classic details including the early CLF/G&L headstock and neck profile, beautifully reproduced aluminum CLF knobs, elegant-chrome control plate housing the Tri-Tone Preamp* and color-coded mini toggle switch tips.

The CLF Research L•2500 finish choices are:


Available in:

  • Natural Gloss over Swamp Ash, Maple fingerboard.
  • Purpleburst over Swamp Ash, Maple fingerboard.
  • Pharaoh Gold Firemist over Alder, Rosewood fingerboard.
  • Lake Placid Blue over Alder, Rosewood fingerboard.
  • Old School Tobacco over Okoume, Rosewood fingerboard.

 

Founded by Leo Fender in 1980, G&L USA instruments continue to be made in the historic G&L facility on Fender Avenue in Fullerton, California, the Birthplace of Bolt-on.
