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.

You will have to take off the neck to read the date stamped on the neck and or body to tell what year your Legacy is for certain.

The B prefix numbers were usually used on basses but some were applied to guitar plates and those were used on many early Legacys. I have a Legacy with a early bridge plate number, which should have been used on an F-100 or an early S-500 since these two models pre-date the Legacy's introduction in 1994.

G&L, taking a cue from Leo, doesn't waste anything, so they used up those 3-bolt neck plates.

You may find that your Legacy also has Japanese pots. This is disconcerting for many owners but rest assured that they are original.
