G&L Tribute Legacy 3-Tone Sunburst Electric - No Bag/Case Included *Authorized Dealer*

The G&L Tribute Legacy series is a great way to get a taste of G&L's USA pickups and Dual Fulcrum Vibrato design at a great price. Sharing the same classic shape as Leo Fender's 1954 ground-breaking design, the G&L Tribute Legacy is a great player and a great value.

This is a B-stock floor sample that has never been sold or left the shop. We are closing out our Tribute line at a 15% savings. Photos are the actual guitar.

The G&L Tribute 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 gently 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. Even the bridge responds well to increased gain without getting too icy or crackly. You won't mistake it for a metal machine, but the Legacy is voiced to easily transition from blues to funk, and into the classic rock zone.

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 stay securely in tune. Paired with the versatile Legacy pickups, there are endless possibilities for soaring sound creations.
