I just joined and wish everyone hello. If I need to go to another board to ask this, please let me know.
The local G&L dealer has a 2009ish Legacy (per him) and he tells me it comes with a gig bag. This is a USA made Legacy, not a Tribute.
The price is good on it and I was thinking about ordering the G&L black tolex case to go with it .
On the G&L website it states that the Standard Legacy (USA) comes with a black Tolex case, BUT if you go to the Accessory page it states that the black Tolex case (made by G&G quality cases) comes standard with some ASAT and Invader models, but doesn't mention the Legacy.
Can someone give me the scoop on this? If I order a new Legacy in a different color will I automatically get the G&G Tolex case with it?
Thanks and best wishes to everyone,
R.

Yes it is being sold as NEW and appears to be new with the hang tags, and he assured me it is new and nothing to indicate it's not.
He talked like it might have been a special deal/run also, so it could be one of the Legacy Std.-Fullerton guitars you mentioned Craig.
I live in a modest size town and the owner seems like a nice and honest guy (and he has a good reputation). It's a small music store and he is the only G&L dealer in this part of Texas. He has 1 Tribute in stock and this one std. Legacy USA......that's all, but that's understandable probably also. He is also a Fender and Gretsch dealer among other things. You have to figure a lot of people see "Fender" and tune out everthing else. I am just happy there is 1 G&L dealer in this part of the world. I like him, and would like to support him and he has given me a lot of good advice I believe.
A friend recommended him when I was seriously considering buying a Highway 1 Strat or another guitar at a different store (I didn't even know we had a G&L dealer here). I am glad I DID NOT and waited.
It's candy apple red with a painted headstock, so it was one of my three top color choices. Thanks everyone.
"We are trying to make some runs of the same thing,
not like our "normal" production where everything coming
along is different. In short, we did a few things with this:
We made it a solid color so we could use wood that has
some sort of stain or grain such that we can't use it for
translucent colors (as almost all of our production is),
we substituted what I call a "gig case" for the plastic molded
one which saves a few bucks (but holds up better than the
molded - go figure), and we substituted zinc diecast saddles
for the brass ones. Most of them actually had the brass
saddles anyway, as yours probably does. It's basically a sweet
deal on a Legacy."
