Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains fell in love
with the G&L Rampage early in his career.
From Guitar World in 2009:
“From the very first time I picked it up and played
it, it just felt right to me,” he says. “It was designed to
blend the playability and high-end sound of a Strat with the darkness
and full-bodied sound of a Les Paul.”
Though some Rampage guitars were
built with bodies of ash or poplar, “my Rampage is an all-maple guitar,”
Cantrell says. “The neck is hard rock maple, and the body is maple,
too. Also, it has one pickup with one volume knob. I’ve never had the
need for a lot of knobs or switches, so the design has suited my needs
perfectly.
Cantrell’s primary Rampage is tuned to what he calls “standard Alice in
Chains tuning”: standard tuning one half step down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb).
