Hi there..my name is Chris and I am searching for information about my G&L Legacy! I've owned it for nearly 10 years or so now, and even though I'm not much of a guitarist by any means, I enjoy playing it and love it's character. I picked it up without its original case or trem arm from Guitar Center in Tri-County (Cincinnati area). I really don't care what it's value is, but it has an unusual finish that I can't seem to find on any other Legacy's. I'm trying to figure out how to upload pics, but it is a 3 bolt neck, 3 single coils, rosewood fretboard, natural headstock, Sperzel tuners, and a beautiful blue/green metallic finish on the body with a 3 layer pearl white pickplate. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Chris

Hi Chris,
Welcome.
If you haven't seen http://guitarsbyleo.com/FORUM/viewtopic ... 32&t=10450 yet, this is a tutorial on posting pix.
For a little bit, G&L did a bowling ball swirl kind of paint job. Might that be what you have?
Let us see.
Thanks,
edg

The body finish sounds like it might be Emerald Blue Metallic, so please post some photos, so we can confirm the actual color.
Looking forward to seeing your Legacy.

Re: Hello from Ohio!
Hello. I used to have a Comanche with a similar sounding finish, and it didn't show up on the G&L website. Links to a couple pictures should be below, although the 2nd one is harder to see.

Re: Hello from Ohio!
Your Comanche is the green swirl finish.

Re: Hello from Ohio!
Well, thanks. I had never heard of that, but according to (https://reverb.com/au/item/3169188-g-l- ... reen-swirl), that is also the so-called bowling ball finish, as was noted above.
