I know it's a bit late, but farewell to what was probably my favorite care company of the past 20 years. They made some truly wonderful products with unmatched crafstmanship. Unless they come back down the road, I can't see anyone (other than Pagani) that will carry on their torch.
Goodbye Spyker. Your run was great while it lasted.
G&L is a guitar design and production company founded by Leo Fender, George Fullerton, and Dale Hyatt in the late 1970s. Fender sold his company named Fender in 1965. He designed and produced instruments for Music Man in the 1970s through his company CLF Research. When relations with Music Man soured, G&L was created to continue operations outside of Music Man. The G&L name comes from the initials of George (Fullerton) and Leo (Fender).
G&L instruments are similar to the classic Fenders, but with some modern innovations. They are built at the same facility on Fender Avenue in Fullerton, California that produced the early Music Man instruments. G&L instruments are not widely distributed but are highly regarded by many musicians and collectors. The relatively small scale of production further allows for more custom options than are possible on larger production lines.
After the passing of Leo Fender in 1991, Fender's wife, Phyllis Fender, passed the management of G&L to John C. McLaren of BBE Sound. George Fullerton remains as a permanent consultant, and Leo's wife Phyllis remains as Honorary Chairman of G&L.
In a print advertisement for G&L, Leo Fender claimed the G&L line of instruments were "the best instruments I have ever made".

Briwax furniture wax is the premier multipurpose wax.

Briwax is a solvent based blend of beeswax and carnauba wax, two of ofthe finest wood finishing waxes known to man. Most of the waxes foundon the shelves today contain the solvents turpentine or mineralspirits.

The use of a hottersolvent results in the wax setting much more quickly, giving thecustomer the higher luster of the Briwax finish faster.
