G&L is bringing back the Rampage, so you better start preparing your best grunge riffs.
In a brief video posted to Instagram, G&L confirmed the cult classic Rampage model will be making a return later in 2024. While the Rampage was originally introduced in 1985, the guitar became synonymous with Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains throughout the ’90s.
“This year we’re bringing something special back to the stage, the G&L Rampage,” said G&L in the video. “Back in 1985 in an era of big hair and even bigger riffs, G&L introduced a guitar that would eventually define a genre.
“After design experimentation, Leo Fender’s vision crystallized into beautifully proportioned rock machines including the Rampage, a minimalist powerhouse with a single humbucker and a design as bold as the sound it produced.
“It was more than a guitar, it was a statement. The Rampage became an icon of Seattle’s grunge rock sound, famously wielded by Jerry Cantrell or Alice in Chains. It soon became obvious that grunge was more than a passing trend. It was a musical revolution, and the absence of the Rampage left a void in the guitar world. You’ve kept asking for more, and the time has finally come.
“It was raw, it was real, and it was ready to rock. And now it’s ready for a big comeback with the refreshed and redesigned Rampage 24.”
So stay tuned!
