G & L Tribute Fiorano and Ascari models NOW AVAILABLE at Basone!

G&L Fiorano and Ascari models now available at Basone!

G&L founder Leo Fender had a vision for a new guitar. G&L’s Steve Grom uncovered the sketch three decades later in Leo’s workshop, and the result is an instrument that’s steeped in rock-guitar history but groundbreaking: the Fiorano, the first set-neck, 25½”-scale, three-tuners-to-a-side guitar G&L has ever offered.

It joins the pioneering 24¾”-scale Ascari in G&L’s Tribute Series, and it delivers on its promise.The 24-fret neck and Gagon-designed humbuckers are made for brutal riffing and detuned/drop-tuned heaviness – but the Fiorino cleans up beautifully when asked.

Korina wood guitar

korina body rosewood top custom guitar, initial stages

Working on lots of custom orders – this one has a korina wood body and rosewood top.

From the GuitarPlayer website:  Best known as the tonewood of Gibson’s radical Modernistic Series of the late 1950s—the flashy Flying V and Explorer—as well as more recent guitars that follow these templates, Korina is a warm, resonant, and balanced performer. It also yields great clarity, definition, and sustain. The species is known generically as limba—an African wood related to mahogany, but imported under the trade name Korina. It’s a fairly light hardwood with a fine grain that’s usually enhanced in the finishing process to appear as an attractive array of long, thin streaks. White limba—as used by Gibson and Hamer—has a light appearance in its natural state, and black limba has a more pronounced grain.

Also working on a Korina tele with a nice rosewood f.b. bound in Korina!!
