Tribute Series JB

Players fond of the old adage “if it ain’t broke…” haven’t played a JB. You see, the G&L JB is all about refinement, blending classic Alnico single-coil tone with modern improvements and superb craftsmanship.   

This JB projects a time-honored yet subtly progressive vibe, embracing the past yet unafraid of moving forward. The slim, hard-rock maple neck features a classic gloss finish, while its comfortable 9″ radius and medium-jumbo nickel frets deliver modern playability. What’s more, the JB features an innovative Leo Fender-designed Saddle-Lock bridge to transfer string energy right into the body end-grain for an incredibly resonant instrument. Once you play a G&L Tribute Series, you’ll never look back.


Available in:

  • Lake Placid Blue over Poplar, 3-ply White Pickguard, Rosewood fingerboard with white neck binding and white pearloid block inlays, vintage tint satin finish neck
  • 3-Tone Sunburst over Swamp Ash top on Poplar, 3-ply Black Pickguard, Maple fingerboard with black neck binding and black block inlays, vintage tint satin finish neck
