The place to discuss, post photos, video, and audio of the G&L products (US instruments, stomp boxes, etc.) produced after 1991, including the amps & gear we use with them.

Post by scolfax »

I'm having trouble finding online shops with a good selection of G&L Legacies in stock. Any suggestions?

Have you checked the G&L website for the list of their dealers and distributors? Many of those have website URLs listed.
Also, check eBay, as some of the G&L dealers list their instruments there, too.

Hope his helps.

Thanks everyone, I've looked at all of those online places as well as my local G&L dealer. I guess I'm spoiled by the crazy availability of Fender's. Anyway, I ended up making a custom order at ProGuitarShop.com.

If you are in the USA: http://www.grapevineguitarworks.com/GGW/index.php. I got one of my G&Ls from these. Highly recommended. Great customer service. Ask for Sean. If you can't see what you want, I'm sure they'll order it for you.

If you are in the UK: http://www.hartnollguitars.co.uk/search ... =G%26L+USA. I got two of my G&Ls from these. Highly recommended. Great customer service. Ask for Jamie. If you can't see what you want, I'm sure they'll order it for you.

Hope this helps.

Bill

Good choices-a real winner. My first 2 Legacy's were ash with premier finishes. This 3rd one coming will be alder/metallic finish.

i have just purchased a ASAT Bluesboy from Proguitar on Ebay. They were very helpful and the only complaint was that I bought a guitar from Oregon in the Winter!!!!! It's not getting here till Friday. It took ten days!!!!

I am a board Newbie and dont truly understand how this is suppose to work, Can I /Do I need to start a new thread to express a Question/Idea????

I dont know if you can see this Craig, but thanks for all your help gettin me on line here, I really felt challenged after Six hours of attempting to get on the board

You might like to see this to know what is coming your way.
My ASAT Deluxe is clear red over swamp ash. Gorgeous finish.
Red is hard to photo and the grain shows through more than this

disregard this message if you've already made your decision, but wolfe guitars in jupiter, fla., has the country's largest selection of g&l guitars; both usa and tributes. they are great to work with and offer great prices. good luck! i have purchased 3 guitars from jay (wolfe) with no regrets.
