In 1979, Leo Fender invited his close friend and associate whom he had known by then for over 30 years, George Fullerton, to form a company he wished to call G&L Musical Instruments. The design and production of the G&L instruments began in 1980, in the same buildings that housed CLF (Clarence Leo Fender) Research, and where the G&L factory remains to this day. There, the people of G&L continue to build instruments with love, dedication and great skill.
