Hi,
been away for awhile and have a question about the Legacy Special neck.
Does anyone know if the finish on back of neck is the light satin or the heavier orangish glossy finish?
Theres one at musicians friend for sale I might be interested in but it doesnt look like a light finish.
Im not looking for the glossy one.
Website says satin finish.
Thanx for help.

I looked at the Sonic Blue one in their picture and it looks like the standard satin neck to me.-- Darwin

Tce44, I just checked the builder and the Special comes standard with a satin C neck. It depends on what MF speced but it looks standard satin to me. Maybe Craig can verify this when he returns. -- Darwin

It's Musicians Friend's Ad that has caused this confusion.tce44 wrote:Hi,

Musicians Friend just used the photo of the Sonic Blue Legacy Special (with Vintage Gloss neck finish) from G&L's Spec page on their
webpage for the Ad but says the guitar comes with a Satin finished neck. They need to mention that the photo guitar
has the optional Vintage Gloss neck finish or use a photo of a Legacy Special with the stock Satin finished neck.
You should contact MF and ask if they have a Legacy Special with a Clear Satin finish in stock or if they will order one for you.
The stock neck finish on the Legacy Special is Clear Satin and G&L offers a variety of optional neck finishes, see: Comparison of Neck Finishes.
Hope this helps.
