The G&L Online Store has G&L Tribute Doheny Electric Guitar (B-Stock) on sale at significant discount. Shipping is free.

These were listed a few days ago. I believe there were more but they tend to go quick. G&L updates their B-Stock/Clearance guitars regularly so there may be more.

This seems like a good deal , it's squier money for a superior guitar, but be careful and check the neck pockets, sometimes these bstock come misaligned or either chips/gaps in them.

My first reaction on that doheny is that I would be more interested if it had a jazzmaster style bridge. Anybody have experience with this one? Any reason why this bridge would be better than a jazzmaster bridge?

G&L started making the Doheny in 2017, it was an experiment in offsets, being such a small company they decided not to develop a new Jazzmaster style bridge, and just use their well tried dual fulcrum 2 point bridges on them. They are great, different than jazzmaster though but still great. I own 5 g&l guitars, 4 have the fulcrum and 1 has a hard tail. Mine are American made but the tributes all have American hardware (bridges and pickups). If you can, give it a try.

The 2pt trem is just a more reliable and simple design than the JM trem is. JM trems have more moving parts and they're finicky to setup correctly.

Jazzmaster purists will agree that the Doheny isn't a JM so much as it is a JM-shaped guitar with simpler, more versatile controls and a 2pt trem bridge similar to a strat. It's not going to sound exactly like a JM but it is a more adaptable guitar. The bass tone knob is a pretty nice feature I feel more manufacturers should adopt e.g. G&L with their PTB circuit and Reverend with the bass contour knob.

Here's a pretty good comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVgwTjcJ7Oc

EDIT: some corrections

To add to the other answer about the JM bridge being finicky, people recommend mastery bridges which go for like $200. I've never personally tried them but I can confirm that the stock jazzmaster bridge is a little annoying.
