2012 Legacy "Equitorial Mahogony"

[dthorson]

Trying to find info about this guitar... it was listed as being made with "Equatorial Mahogany" but the G&L site is silent on that. The build spec sheet just calls it "Mahogany" with a natural gloss finish. Ideas? s/n CLF066344

G&L in the past would get small supplies of exotic woods from their wood supplier and then would build some Special Builds using those woods. See: Some recent G&L instruments built with exotic body wood ....
One of the woods they got was "Equatorial Mahogany" (aka Okoume), see: What body woods has G&L used?

Beginning this year, G&L added "Okoume"as an option body wood to their Price List, see: January 25, 2018-present G&L U.S. Specifications & Options. For some examples of them, see: Okoume Body examples.

Hope this helps.

PS Please post some photos of your Legacy. See: Tutorial: Posting photos.

As requested, here's some shots of a "Legacy Equatorial Mahogany" made in December of 2012. Specs: Natural Gloss finish, Non-original pickguard (original was 1-ply black, this is cool-looking 3-ply), Hard-rock Maple neck (Gloss Vintage Tint) with Rosewood fingerboard, matching set of CLF-100 AlNiCo-5 single-coil pickups

Nice and good call on the black pearloid guard, too.

Please do add it to our G&L Registry.
