G&L Musical Instruments was founded in 1980 by Leo Fender as a next-generation maker of guitars and basses. After Fender’s passing in 1991, BBE Sound acquired the company and has continued the creative design ethos that underpinned its early work. The brand manufactures electric guitars and basses across a range of price points, with production located in the United States, Japan, and Indonesia. Based in Fullerton, California, the company operates as a mid-sized player within the global musical instrument industry. G&L serves a worldwide customer base by offering models across price ranges, addressing the needs of both professional players and enthusiasts. In 2025, it introduced the Fullerton Deluxe JB MFD, a new variation of its JB bass line, reflecting ongoing product development.
