G&L Limited Edition Americana LB-100 4-String Bass w/ Gig Bag - Star-Spangled Metal Flake Red White and Blue

(Please Note: This listing is for the LB-100 bass only - ASAT guitar not included)

Americana is back with their new G&L American Republic models! These small batch instruments celebrate America with star-spangled metal flake finishes boldly flying the Red, White and Blue.

The LB-100 was selected for the traditional tones that appeal to a broad range of players, and both feature special identification on the back of the headstock with “American Republic” and “Land That I Love” surrounding the serial number. Maple fingerboards feature white pearl top dots for a clean look that salutes the color scheme of Old Glory.

If that’s not enough to break into your best rendition of God Bless America, the price on each of these models is $1776 including G&L gig bag.


Americana LB-100

The Americana LB-100 bundles two classic combinations from the G&L Option Order menu, each with an alder body for rich, traditional tone and paired with a pickguard that sets off the color just right. That elegance continues up the neck with the G&L polished Natural Satin neck.

Players fond of the old adage “if it ain’t broke...” haven’t played an LB-100. You see, the G&L LB-100 is all about refinement, blending “holy grail” Alnico split-coil tone with modern improvements and superb craftsmanship.

This LB-100 projects a time-honored yet subtly progressive vibe, embracing the past yet unafraid of moving forward. The slim, hard-rock maple neck features an easy-playing vintage gloss finish, while its comfortable 9 1/2? radius and Jescar 57110 medium-jumbo nickel-silver frets deliver silky playability. What’s more, the LB-100 features an innovative Leo Fender-designed Saddle-Lock bridge to transfer string energy right into the body end-grain for an incredibly resonant instrument.
