Crafted as a close descendant of the ’83 G&L SC-2, the Fallout takes the question “what if Leo Fender designed the SC-2 for today’s scene?” and brings it to a physical incarnation. There’s no doubt about it, the Fullerton Deluxe Fallout brings the thunder with a ludicrous range of sophisticated tonal pathways that’ll do anything from melt faces to touch the souls of your audience. Just like the original SC-2, the Fallout features the SC-2 body shape, the richly resonant G&L Saddle-Lock bridge, and a Modern Classic neck that makes it a dream to hold and strum. Top it off with an exclusively designed headstock found only on the Fallout, and you’ve got a guitar that’ll bewitch with its spellbinding post-punk radiation.

Sonically atomic, sophisticated pickups





You can really coax some nuclear tones out of the Fallout - that’s all thanks to the G&L P-90 in the neck and the AW4370B Alnico humbucker in the bridge. Capture all the rapturous atomic tones from the original SC-2 with the added availability of modern-inspired expressions and textures. You can explore thermonuclear distortion to ultra-bright articulation and everything in between given this axe’s push-pull tone pot. With pickups able to adjust to almost any style, the Fallout will become your next favorite gigging guitar.

Iconic body shape





There’s no doubt the Fallout sports a unique body shape - that’s because it retains the SC-2’s original body design from 1983. With form-fitting contours that even traditional players are sure to love, the Fallout was crafted from lightweight alder (a key ingredient in the classic Leo Fender recipe) to supply a reduced stage weight with no sacrifice to warmth or note definition, which means you can rock this post-apocalyptic beast harder and longer without feeling it the following morning.





Classic Saddle-Lock bridge





The Fullerton Deluxe LB-100’s Saddle-Lock bridge reduces lateral movement of the saddle pieces by tightening an Allen screw on the side of the bridge. Additionally, the Saddle-Lock bridge has a solid protrusion on its backside that is sunk firmly into the instrument’s body woodas well as chrome-plated brass saddles. Together, these two features make it easier for string energy to travel into the body and translate into a rich, resonant, and sustaining sound.
