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 just purchased an old Legacy. I think this is from one of the early years?

The photos are here:

It's fairly early. It's after the switch from Seymour Duncans to G&L-built pickups ('93 or '94?), but before the change to four-bolt necks in '98. It's a nice looking Legacy. How does she play?

Ken,

Thanks for the date info. on the old Legacy.
Plays better than a few other Legacies I owned in the past (a U.S. one and a Tribute). The whammy stays in tune real good. The body seems lighter than the other U.S. Legacy I owned and much lighter than the Ash tribute, which weighted a bit.

beautiful guitar !! I like the 3 bolters ....... the only trem I have trouble keeping in tune has been my 86 Rampage with a kahler , my local G&L dealer just installed some new/old stock Bass kahler trem springs saturday in the trem and so far it's holding a lot better tune than before

This is the best Legacy I have played. Every Legacy I have tried in stores or owned (only owned a few before) has played and sounded different. The necks vary a lot and way less cookie cutter than some other brands. The Tribute was the largest and heaviest weight Legacy I played - one of those blue ash ones.
