3 Piece Bodies on USA Legacies?

Mon Apr 15, 2024 10:38 pm

Hi Everyone! I'm a newbie, named Dave. So, I bought a 2007 Legacy on Reverb that I'm real happy with. The neck is almost 1.00" at the 12th fret. It wasn't until I got it that I found out the body is a 3 piece. I thought all USA bodies were 2 piece. Can someone fill me in? Thanks! Here she is:

I don't see a post for the 2007 Legacy you bought because Reverb says it has been sold, so I cannot confirm what I think you got.
If you can post photos [front and back], it will help me confirm this:

You probably have a G&L Legacy Standard model which came out in 2006-2008.

While Dave didn't explictly say they used 3 pieces bodies, I know they did from discussions with him about the Fullerton Standard Series when they first
came out. Does it have a body color matching headstock and the G&L Gig Case?

Looking forward to seeing your guitar. :searching:
