What if you could own a piece of the guitar innovation that Leo Fender was still perfecting long after the original Fender era? This genuine G&L Tribute Dual-Fulcrum (DF) bridge plate with tremolo arm comes from one of G&L’s signature designs, developed by Leo Fender himself after he had spent decades refining the electric guitar. Unlike the traditional six-screw Strat-style tremolo, the Dual-Fulcrum system pivots on two points using a hardened-steel bridge plate and knife-edge pivot hardware, creating the smooth, controlled feel that made the DF such an important G&L innovation. It allows the player to bend pitch both up and down while maintaining excellent tuning stability, and the distinctive tremolo arm can be adjusted for the desired amount of resistance. G&L continues to feature the Leo Fender-designed Dual-Fulcrum vibrato on its guitars today, a testament to just how successful the design has been. 

G&L is a seriously respected name among players who appreciate Leo Fender’s later work, and the artist roster tells you plenty about the company’s pedigree. Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains, Tom Hamilton of Aerosmith, Peter Frampton, Mike Dirnt of Green Day, and many other notable musicians have used G&L instruments. This particular DF bridge plate is an excellent replacement or restoration part for a compatible G&L Tribute instrument, and it’s also an interesting piece of hardware for anyone building or maintaining a guitar around Leo Fender’s later designs. If you’ve been looking for the correct G&L Dual-Fulcrum hardware, don’t let this one get away—parts like this can be considerably harder to track down than the guitars they belong to.
