can you put humbuckers in a Legacy?

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.

Yes, you sure can because the Legacy is bathtub routed.
Just get a new pickguard (either HH or SSH) and the pickup(s).

BTW, G&L has both those configurations in standard Legacy models: Legacy 2HB and Legacy HB.

Hope this helps.
