G&L in trouble...?

[wateroftyne]

I'm seeing a few rumours on the internet - only rumours, mind - that G&L are in trouble.

See this post from one of their master builders.

If it's true, I hope they get through it...

That's sad to hear. I notice that GuitarGuitar have started selling them again.

I'm a big fan of G&L, I bought a used L2000 Tribute off Reverb yesterday.

I hope not! (And I’ve just ordered some pickups ☹️)

Yamaha’s next buy?

Apparently this has happened several times before and they got through it in the end. I hope they'll live through this too! Would hate to see them go.

 

They're owned by BBE, who don't exactly appear to be very relevant anymore as a company. Their Sonic Maximizer pedals, rack units and plugins were succesful for a while and they made some cool preamps in the past, but when you visit their site now it still says "2016" at the bottom and the button that should lead to their Products page is very much dead. Not a good sign. Their website for their plugins is more up-to-date though (2025).
