The Placentia Series is a new addition to the G&L family specifically developed to address new players wanting to get a high quality yet accessible G&L guitar or bass.
Why “Placentia”? G&L Guitars is located on historic Fender Avenue which runs between Fullerton and the City of Placentia. The range itself offers iconic G&L designs,
as developed by Leo Fender, but using some more traditional parts. This new range supplements our highly successful Tribute and USA ranges.”

Do you think this is the end of production for these really nice guitars?
Glad I got my sunburst when the getting was good.
Can you find out what the prospects of these coming back out is?
Thanks.

I picked up an Irish Ale HB3 from MF and love it. Best $350 I've ever spent on music. Can't believe the build quality for the money. My first G&L, and VERY impressed.
Coming from the underworld (OK, the lower world of bass), I admit to some confusion re the 5-position switch and the push/pull toggle. I've Googled the best I could, came up short on explanations, and decided to bite the bullet and do the unmanly thing and ask directions.
So, here's the table where I'm trying to complete the 3rd column (with some initial guesses; please correct if in error):
Switch Position / Toggle Position / Pickups Selected
1 / Down / Neck
2 / Down /
3 / Down /
4 / Down /
5 / Down / Bridge
1 / Up / Bridge and Neck
2 / Up / All 3
3 / Up /
4 / Up / All 3
5 / Up / Bridge and Neck
Thanks in advance for your help and patience.

GC/MF had a fantastic sale price for their Guitar-A-Thon sale. I did help him out a little financially so he could get the Legacy instead of a Squire Strat. Anyway, we couldn't be happier with this purchase for his first guitar.
Although the pickups are not the US made pickups, I could not distinguish any difference between my US Legacy pickups and the Tribute pickups. I plugged both guitars into the same amp and they sounded nearly identical. The humbucker has a pleasant warm sound, although there is no coil slit option. But, we are OK with that.
All my G&L's are US made (I have eleven) and I've had a G&L in my collection since before the Tributes existed. I've always heard positive comments about the Tributes but never had the urge to try or own one. I guess I have been a USA made snob when it comes to guitars. Anyway, with this recent purchase, I can honestly say that I'm proud to have the Legacy Tribute HSS as part of our household collection. It is an incredible value and outperforms many other makes in the same price range.

Can someone tell me the differences between it and the not "Limited Edition" version? The guitar also looks like Mint Green in the photo. Is that the same as Sea Foam Green? LOL
This guitar is not coming from MF or GC, so is it a different type of Limited Edition?
I just like to have the correct info on my instruments.

Can you tell us what kind of sale (new or used) and what warranty (if any) they offered to you?
Hope this helps.
