The G&L CLF Research Doheny V12 in Clear Red stands as one of the most sonically versatile offset guitars ever created by G&L. With its vibrant transparent finish showing the grain of its swamp ash and alder body, the instrument immediately distinguishes itself visually. The bolt-on hard rock maple neck with a Modern Classic profile and 9.5″ radius fingerboard delivers a smooth, familiar feel. Its 25.5″ scale and medium-jumbo frets offer excellent playability for everything from expressive chord work to articulate leads.
Where the Doheny V12 truly shines is in its electronics. Equipped with two CLF-designed MFD humbuckers, each featuring its own mini-toggle that switches between series, parallel and single-coil modes, the guitar delivers an immense range of tones. From thick humbucker punch to bright single-coil clarity and every blend in between, the Doheny V12 adapts to virtually any musical style. The PTB (Passive Treble and Bass) tone system further expands tonal shaping, allowing you to roll off bass or treble independently for precise control. The G&L Dual-Fulcrum vibrato bridge adds expressive pitch movement while maintaining excellent stability and smooth performance.
Finished in a brilliant Clear Red, the Doheny V12 fuses classic offset styling with advanced electronics and premium craftsmanship. Whether you’re after wide-open ambient textures, tight funk rhythms or powerful rock tones, this guitar offers an unmatched palette of sounds wrapped in a premium, stage-ready design.
