The only German link on the G&L website
http://www.glguitars.com/distributors/Germany.asp only supplies retailers and not individual buyers.
So I asked them if they could point me to any retailers in Germany. They refused to do so. Makes me wonder if they are interested in selling these things at all.
I managed to find 3 G&L suppliers in Germany and emailed them all. Not one replied.
On a more positive note a nice fellow from AB Music Studio in California contacted me to say they can order me a USA Legacy HSS (which replaced the discontinued Legacy HD)
and it will be built to my spec and is positive it can be delivered to the UK [actual price removed].
