Details on G&L 2005
Hi, I posted a Wanted add for a Fender ( as a trade for an acoustic Boucher ) and a fellow replied back with "He's got something better than a Fender". He's offering me his "2005 G&L legacy fullertone custom shop red". He sent me a picture and the serial number but I couldn't find any serial number DB except for the registry on this site. His serial number is not registered here. Could anyone share some details on this model or G&L guitars in general and how they compare with Fenders. I've never even seen 1 of these let alone played one. Thanks ( SN: CLF36047 ).

Well, based on the above information, my guess is that it is a standard production G&L Legacy with a Fullerton Red finish (which is a standard G&L finish). If it was a Fullerton Signature model, the serial number would have been in the form of "GF####". See: Serial number significance. Please post the photo you were sent, so that we can fully identify the actual model he is offering you. To post photos, see Tutorial: Posting photos. Looking forward to seeing the photo.

Re: Details on G&L 2005
It is what I thought, a standard production Legacy with the standard Fullerton Red finish. Here are the specs from the 2005 G&L website (copied from Internet Archives): Quote: Legacy Specifications:
PICKUPS 3 G&L vintage style Alnico V single coil pickups BODY WOOD Alder on Standard and all solid finishes, Swamp Ash on all Premier finishes NECK WOOD Hard Rock Maple with Rosewood or Maple fingerboard NECK RADIUS 12" (304.8mm) NECK WIDTH AT NUT 1 5/8" (41.3mm) TUNING KEYS 12:1 ratio, sealed lubrication, adjustable knob tension BRIDGE G&L Dual Fulcrum vibrato CONTROLS 5 position pickup selector, PTB system FINISH Standard finishes included OTHER Chrome Hardware; 3-ply White pickguard; G&L molded hardcase included Hope this helps.
