Also, since the MF/GC special extra inexpensive Tributes come with non G&L built pickups, is there a way to differentiate these when buying used?
I reviewed all the G&L Tribute Dealer Price Lists I have and with the exception of the 2009-2010 Tribute Pricelists, the Tribute Legacy models all were listed with a
12" radius. The 2009-2010 Tribute Pricelists had all the guitars and basses listed with a 9" radius.
Here the 2003 Tribute Series announcement post which contains the details of the various models which were released:
What is the new Tribute series which G&L announced in 2003?To see the various specifications of the Tribute Series models, look in the
G&L Knowledgebase forum, in the
G&L Specifications and Options subforum.
Regarding the MF/GC Limited Edition Tribute Series and Placentia Series models, see:
2015-present MF/GC Exclusive Tribute & Placentia Series ....
Besides reviewing the post I mentioned above, the easiest way to determine them is to look at the Serial Number and the country of origin.
See this post:
Serial number significance.
Hope this helps.
