Long time owner and lurker...

Post by jediguitarist »

Hi everyone,

Wanted to say 'Hello" and say that I'm just a guitar player living on the NJ Shore USA for the better part of my life. I'm also a full time musician and guitar teacher at a local studio.

I bought my first G&L Legacy in March of 1995 after attending my first NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA. I was coming from a metal background revolving around Jacksons, Kramers, Ibanez and Washburns. I visited the Fender booth and didn't like any of the guitars. I had heard about G&L through magazines and literally stumbled by the booth. (I was a twenty year old first timer to Cali...)

I picked up a Legacy and knew I would buy one. It felt perfect in my hands and couldn't wait to get back to Jersey to order one. Lucky for me, the music store I was teaching at had become a G&L dealer. I ordered a Cherry Legacy and the rest was history :)

18 years and 3 more G&Ls later, I'm think I've convinced more people to buy G&L over Fender.

Welcome! :wave:

We all would love to see your G&L's and we do have a saying that "they don't exist without photographic proof". :searching: :lol:

Hey Jedi,

Welcome aboard! I to am a full time guitarist (teaching and gigging)...When you get a chance please do post some pics in the porn section, and be sure to stop by the lunch report section. Maybe even sign up for a week and get yourself a sweet new BBE/g&l pedal! We would love to hear from you.
