Greetings,
I've been playing since 1984 and play Les Pauls mostly with a Strat thrown in. Every few years I go through phases where I like to check out different guitars and what not. I've gone through Charvel, PRS, Ibanez and some other stuff, but recently got a used G&L Legacy (USA) that came with Seymour Duncan rail pickups. A previous owner screwed in wood blocks around the tremolo bridge, essentially making it a fixed bridge. It's going back to Guitar Center, but the guitar itself....I really liked. The neck was perfection for me and even with what appeared to be a lacquer finish, was beautifully smooth. The guitar has some nice heft to it. I'm not crazy about the SD rails, but I love the playability of the guitar.
I've researching G&L guitars obsessively, learning about options and different pickups. I've never owned a "custom" guitar before, but WANT A CUSTOM G&L! The G&L I'm "borrowing" from Guitar Center really is a revelation in fine craftsmanship and what a Stratocaster type guitar can be.
