I have 3 G&L guitars - 2 are Tributes (an S-500 and an ASAT Special) and I've just managed to get a second hand USA made Legacy from 1995.
I say it's 1995 - this was told to me by the shop from markings under the neck pocket - I have no 1st hand knowledge of this. The headstock has no serial numbers. I'll post photos in case someone can tell me what the colour is actually called - it's a burst, but very light. I'm not sure if it's always looked like this or if the years have faded it
Anyway, I note that the sticky posts here say that G&L Legacy pickups built in house are flat stagger.
The ones on this guitar are all marked G&L but have a vintage stagger.... Any thoughts on what they could be or do I need to have the scratch plate off to examine more closely?
It's a lovely guitar but then again so are my Tributes
Thanks
Gary

they measure DC resistances of 5.6k (neck), 5.7k (middle) and 8.6k (bridge). Which is too hot IMO.
