G&L Musical Instruments TO INTRODUCE JERRY CANTRELL “BLUE DRESS” LIMITED EDITION GUITAR

Fullerton, Calif., January 14, 2010 – G&L Musical Instruments is pleased to introduce the new Rampage Jerry Cantrell “Blue Dress” guitar (MSRP $6,600) at the NAMM tradeshow (booth #4690). Available in March, the limited edition guitar features graphics based on those Cantrell applied to his favorite 1984 G&L Rampage, which has been a part of Cantrell’s signature sound for his entire professional career.

Cantrell’s newest incarnation features a soft maple body, quarter-sawn maple/ebony neck, Floyd Rose locking nut, Kahler 2230 brass tremolo and is available in the original ivory or black finishes and sports a single humbucker hand-wound by Motor City Pickups. The “Blue Dress” Limited Edition is visually distinguished by body graphics designed to Cantrell’s exact specifications, including the iconic image of the “Blue Dress” girl which was originally featured in a vintage issue of “Oui” magazine, plus a specially numbered neck plate laser-etched with the “Blue Dress” girl. Cantrell will personally autograph the back side of the headstock of every “Blue Dress” guitar.

Several distinctive accessories accompany the “Blue Dress” Limited Edition, including a black flight case stenciled with “Jerry Cantrell” on both sides, a Jerry Cantrell-designed Red Monkey leather strap, Schaller strap locks, one dozen Dunlop “Jerry Cantrell” picks, a spare set of Dunlop strings, G&L Custom Creations Certificate of Authenticity, plus a second Certificate of Authenticity by the original artist who created the “Blue Dress” girl.

Jerry Cantrell is a guitarist, singer, and songwriter best known for his work with Alice in Chains, who first made a name for themselves with the hit song “Man in the Box”. Alice in Chains reemerged in 2009 with a new singer, William DuVall, and have released their first full-length studio album in 14 years, called Black Gives Way to Blue.

Yeah Here Comes the G&L Jerry Cantrell…

Friday, July 10th, 2009

Are you ready for some news from G&L? Are you sitting in a chair? Is it an “angry chair”?

Expected to debut at Summer NAMM which begins on July 17th are two signature guitars from guitar great Jerry Cantrell.  Expected at the end of the month are the G&L Rampage Jerry Cantrell Signature model and the G&L Tribute Rampage Jerry Cantrell Signature model.

Cantrell, a founding member of the band “Alice in Chains”, has been using a G&L Rampage along with a G&L ASAT Special and G&L ASAT Classic to compose amazing riffs on songs such as “Man in the Box”, “Rooster”, and “Them Bones”. Cantrell has since gone on to success as a solo artist and has played with another small band you may have heard the kids talk about, Metallica.

The G&L Rampage Jerry Cantrell Signature model will feature a US soft Maple body, a single Seymour Duncan JB humbucker wound to Jerry’s specks and a US Kahler 2320 on Brass Tremolo Bridge. The G&L Tribute Rampage Jerry Cantrell Signature model will feature an Alcino V humbucker wound to Jerry’s specs and a Kahler 4300 X-Trem Temolo.

Cantrell has long been affiliated as a G&L artist and this model has been a long time in the coming for both G&L and Jerry Cantrell fans. If you are searching for information on either Cantrell or G&L you find more often than not the two names mentioned in the same sentence.

If you have been waiting patiently to get that great Cantrell sound now is your chance to do so. If you are new to G&L, these models will make an awesome entry in the fold of G&L ownership.

Stay tuned to our coverage of NAMM for more information on these models and more exciting announcements from your favorite builders and Guitar Adoptions.
