santellavision Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 She's a beauty! Good luck with the sale.
ZR Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 She's a beauty! Good luck with the sale.Wow! Do G&L's kick Fender's butt? They always look so nicely made. I always heard great things about them. Good luck!
Ted Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 A Beauty for sure. One of these days I will get a G&L!
crunchee Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 VERY nice guitar, it's a stunner! Good luck with the sale! Also, nice to know that some dealers haven't lost their traditional charm and wit....
jisham Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Do G&L's kick Fender's butt?Yes!+1000 IMO. An off the shelf G&L is comparable, and typically exceeds, the quality of Fender Custom Shop guitars. My Bluesboy is one the baddest guitars I've ever owned and I'm more of a humbucker/LP guy.
Rocktuna Posted January 22, 2010 Author Posted January 22, 2010 I don't want flame wars about the dealer or to possibly harm his business. He doesn't seem a bad guy, just reacted a little poorly. He calmed right down when I said I wasn't returning it over a tiny dent on a guitar he was probably selling for close to cost.I'll tell the buyer where I got it.
ZR Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Something tells me I have the wrong G&L page... not the G&L swirl (finish) I was looking for!
Ethan Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Hey man-I live down here in farm country. If you want a cow for the guitar, I'm sure I could work something out!
Rocktuna Posted January 22, 2010 Author Posted January 22, 2010 With the price of beef that might be a heck of a deal for me.But I want a good lookin cow that will MOOOOOOOOVE me
Rocktuna Posted January 22, 2010 Author Posted January 22, 2010 I was concerned that it would be very bright sounding because of the maple top, but it has a nicely balanced tone. I did the old A-B comparison against my MIM Strat and the clarity of tone is amazing. Nice fat and round the MIM which is a great sounding strat couldn't even get close.When you strum open chords it just rings beautiful and leads can be what ever you want, snarl, quack no problem
Brooks Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 i'm not a strat guy, but the G&L i had for awhile (jeffro's) was the best strat styled ax i've ever played. KILLED my 70's strat, and even bested most of the superstrats i've owned.
JohnnyB Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Wow! Do G&L's kick Fender's butt? They always look so nicely made. I always heard great things about them. Good luck!Oh, yes they do. Last Fall I was going through my guitars, restringing and getting several ready to consign to thin the herd. One that I considered automatic was my 1996 Legacy that I hadn't played in years, having moved on to set neck Hamers mostly. But when I gave it a cursory run-through, it immediately jumped to my short list of keepers. It's a marvelous sounding and exceptional playing instrument. It has a smooth, cozy comfortable feel and while it nails much that is treasured among vintage aficionados, it has a certain zing or pizzazz that makes it stand out. It's enormously dynamic. It's also gorgeous--black and silver swirl body with ivory MOTO pg and all maple neck. I'm stringing it with hot pink strings to bring out my inner punk.My two basses are also G&Ls and have "never sell" status.
Jeff R Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Brooks ain't shitting ya. The best strat I've ever played in my life is "Barbie," and that includes Fenders, G&Ls, etc., and all the pre-CBS and vintage voodoo buttah booteeky hobgobsnobbery that's been put in my hands over the years. As for Legacy and G&L guitars in general, one of the few guitars I'd be completely confident buying sight unseen. Barbie eye candy ...
Rocktuna Posted January 24, 2010 Author Posted January 24, 2010 Somebody buy this before you guys talk me into keeping it.

Anything in the full-size HB realm that you can compare the sound/characteristics to? Rocktuna, nice looking Legacy....good luck with the sale.
Rocktuna Posted January 28, 2010 Author Posted January 28, 2010 I'll be unable to ship till Feb 08 after today
