New G&L Owner

Mon Jun 11, 2012 9:38 am

Hey all,

Picked up this 2008 Legacy last week.
Incredible instrument, glad to be back in the G&L fam after quite some time.
I think it was somewhere in the mid 80's I had a G&L (can't remember the model).
But she had 2 direct mount humbuckers on it if I recall correctly.

Looking forward to checking out the rest of the forum.
Here's a few pics after I got her home on Friday after re stringing and an hour or so of playing it and tweaking it in to my liking.
Peace - Dan

Look forward to seeing you around,

Thanks !
Yes, Mid 80's for sure, Strat shaped indeed.
Superhawk eh, I'll have to google that.

Okay - I googled and searched around a bit. I looks like the Superhawk, but mine had the G&L Trem and not the Kahler that I've seen on the web.
Also didn't see it in the G&L gallery or on the web site.....
I'll have to search for some old pics of that one : ( -

After poking around the Registry, i believe it was an F-100, She was a white body, black pups, chrome hardware, rosewood FB.

Here's her cousin: http://cf.mp-cdn.net/7c/71/42fa87551cc9 ... 59c0c2.jpg

ah, ok

that's a reissue, the older white ones are somewhat rare (and definitely easy playing with interesting switching.).

There's a white one on ebay that the seller received from Leo so he's asking a few grand,
they usually go for 500-900 depending on cond./finish/etc.

worth a look anyway-
