Leo Fender’s final vision from 1969 comes roaring to life in the G&L Espada HH Active—a sleek, swamp ash-bodied powerhouse blending vintage flair with modern versatility. The double-cut body shape, long tucked away at CLF Research, now resurfaces with twin G&L humbuckers: the AS4255C in the neck for clean, classic warmth, and the AW4386C in the bridge for extra punch and bite.
This active model features the onboard G&L Micro-Preamp with a 3-way switch to toggle between passive, active, and active-bright modes. Whether you want bold humbucker drive or glassy split-coil shimmer, the Espada HH Active delivers with stunning clarity and dynamic response. A push/pull coil tap and the PTB (Passive Treble and Bass) tone system give you even more tonal flexibility.
The bolt-on hard-rock maple neck sports G&L’s comfortable Modern Classic profile, topped with a Caribbean rosewood fretboard and 21 medium jumbo frets. It’s anchored by Leo’s legendary Saddle-Lock bridge for rock-solid stability and killer sustain.
Finished in a natural gloss that shows off the wood grain, this is a serious tone machine for players who want classic design with futuristic features.
Includes G&L deluxe gig bag.
