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.
I recently noticed a 96 Legacy on Ebay. The guitars had the EMG VG-20 setup and the original pickups are not available. If purchased I would switch the wiring back and install either the CLF-100's or the MFD's. I own a 2005 Legacy hardtail and love its tone.
When viewing the tuners from the back of the headstock, I noticed the low and high E Sperzel's are crooked (actually I think all but the d & g tuners are off alignment). I do not have experience with this and my question is would this be a easy fix/repair that I could perform or a reasonably priced repair for a local guitar tech.
Second question are new G&L labled Sperzel's available from the factory? [/URL]
Thank you in advance for your advice,

If you want to rectify the problem, the repair is on the one hand relatively easy but takes some care. The machines have a pin on the other side. So the headstock has 6 small holes to seat these pins. To rotate any of the machines, the angle of rotation is likely so small that you would have to fill the existing hole with a dowel and then drill a new hole in the proper location (which will likely partially overlap the old hole).
Hope this helps,

P.S. Personally, judging from the pic, I wouldn't bother.
