USED G&L Legacy 3-Tone Sunburst 2018 Electric Guitar w/OHSC

Here is a very fresh G&L Fullerton Deluxe Legacy finished in G&L's snazzy Old School Tobacco. Leo Fender started G&L in 1980 to continue the evolution of his most famous designs, which continues today on Fender Avenue in Fullerton, California. And the Fullerton Deluxe series is a selection of "no option" guitars that offer some nice upgrades at a great price (such as the Swamp Ash body and tinted gloss neck). Respecting the past but not stuck in it, the G&L Legacy is a classic instrument for the ages.

This is an excellent condition late model G&L with no wear, nicks, dents or scratches. Includes a nice original G&G hard case, but it missing the build certificate.

The G&L Legacy is equipped with (3) G&L Alnico V flat pole pickups that are wound in the low 6K-ohm range. This correlates to an early 60's specification, and while not as glassy as the later 60's CBS-era pickups, they have a little more kick and a less edgy nature. While not by any means a high output pickup, they have sufficient midrange content to drive distortion pedals nicely and produce fat chunky blues tones. The neck and middle pickups have a bouncy, percussive low end with a classically scooped middle, and clean highs. It's the definitive Strat® sound straight off your favorite blues album.

The moderate output of the G&L single coils responds nicely to pedals and distortion. Under mild gain settings, the tones are wonderfully expressive. There is nice harmonic complexity in the high end, and chewy bottom end tones that start out dirty but clean up as they decay; perfect for blues players who like a little hair on their notes. Add more gain and the Legacy thickens up, and is more rock-ready than you'd expect, with chunky mids and crystalline overtones.

In relation to tonal capabilities, the G&L DF Vibrato is always noteworthy. Rather than relying on a few springs and wood screws, it is an improved design that has the bridge floating on two adjustable hardened steel studs mounted in large brass body anchors. This type of floating mechanism allows the player to bend notes upward or downward with  confidence that the guitar will return to tune. Paired with the versatile Legacy pickups, there are endless possibilities for soaring sound creations.

The G&L Legacy is more than just a copy of an original. For a very reasonable street price you get the type of fit, finish, hardware, and high quality electronics that makes a guitar feel crafted, not just assembled. Whether you are a pro or serious hobbyist, the G&L Legacy is a guitar that won't let you down.
