Mark, the owner of the store told me that he designed this particular model and Rob Rizzuto (VP of G&L at the time) did a limited run of them for him.
Bridge and neck pickups are MFD and middle is an S500.
I’m under the impression that mine is one of less than 22 of these designs on a strat body (there were about 40 made on tele bodies). He did a push/pull thing with the knob so neck and bridge pickups can activate together.
Given this information, I was wondering if anyone could tell me 2 things:
1. What year was my guitar built?
2. How do MFD and S500 pickups wear over time/should I be thinking about swapping them for new ones?
Thanks in advance for any help and information!

Hi Craig,
The black Legacy was an ALLEY CAT build, completion date is October 12th 2015.
The body is pine, the maple neck is a slim C, 1-5/8” nut width and a 12” radius.
I was told there might be only 20 of them built, all the best.
