In 2003, G & L introduced the imported Tribute Series of guitars as a more affordable version of their G & L flagship models. All Tribute models are based on traditional G & L standard production models, but they are produced overseas. Guitars were first built by Cort in their Korea factory, but production has since moved to another Cort facility in Indonesia. Unlike many "budget brands" to major brands, Tribute uses selected G & L parts on their guitars instead of using entirely foreign components. For instance, U.S built pickups, that are the same as what is used on the standard G & L guitars are also used on the Tribute Series. For more information, visit G & L's website or contact them directly.
