G&L Legacy Guitar

THE G&L Legacy guitar is one of Leo Fender's last guitar designs. The Legacy features a fast maple neck, sleek alder body, and rich sounding, vintage alnico pickups. The Legacy is 100% Leo Fender and is made by hand; no computer operated wood routers or cutting machines are used. Some guitar companies call this "custom shop", but it's G&L's normal way to make guitars!

The Legacy's three-piece strat-shaped alder body is very resonant and relatively lightweight. Its finish is nearly flawless and will definitely turn some heads -- in case your playing doesn't.

The G&L Legacy's neck and fingerboard are made from hard-rock Canadian maple, which imparts a bright, open sound. The fingerboard is slightly flat with a small radius, and has 21 well-dressed, medium-jumbo frets and black position markers. The back of the neck has a subtle "V" shape and is coated in a light satin finish. The Legacy feels great because it has an excellent blend of old and new.

The factory setup is good right out of the box, with low action and very little neck relief. The fretwork is first-class and allows you to play effortless bends. The Legacy has a plastic nut and six-in-line mini-Schaller tuners.

The neck bolts to the body using three screws reinforced with a cast zinc plate. The Legacy's tight neck pocket contributes to excellent sustain, and there are no gaps between neck and body. The G & L Legacy comes with three Vintage single-coils wired in a standard strat configuration with a 5-way switch. Because the middle pickup is reverse wound, positions two and four are hum-canceling.

The internal electronics are very neat; with high-quality wire and pots throughout, and the cavity's top and bottom are shielded. The volume pot is excellent: Even at 1 or 2 you hear the note's attack, thanks in part to a small ceramic cap that allows the high end to bleed through. The guitar's cool bass-cut knob acts like a built-in amp damping control.

The Legacy features G&L's non-locking Dual Fulcrum trem bridge. Its knife-edge floating design enables you to push and pull notes flat or sharp. Each bridge saddle permits string intonation and height adjustment. The vibrato bar slips into the bridge and is secured by a small set screw that lets you control the amount of play. The bridge tension fells very similar to a Floyd Rose; three rear-mounted springs provide further adjustment. The bridge does a superior job of resisting string gargle.

This American built G & L Legacy guitar begs you to wail. It has some of the biggest strat sounds ever. Great acoustic tone and well balanced pickups make it almost impossible to return this guitar to its case. The Legacy is one of the best-built, cool sounding production guitars available.
