Re: 1995 g&l legacy electric guitar info.
From your description, it sounds to be a standard production model. There are no Legacy Rarebirds in our G&L Rarebirds page oftheo23 wrote:hi, i have a 1995 g&l legacy guitar. it is natural in color, high gloss finish, has a maple neck, sperzel locking tuners, white pick guard. the date on the inside of the neck is 01-09-1995. the production number on the 3-bolt neck plate is G041339. looking for info. on it. is rare, a limited edition anything. i have contacted dwayne & chris from g&l. they can't find anything in the database. they said it only goes back to 1998. any info. would help tremendously.
the G&L Registry.
The Legacy first came out in 1992 and is still in production today. The pickups in yours (if stock) are G&L Vintage Style Alnico V pickups and at that time were handwound. Prior to 1995, the pickups were Seymour Duncan SSL Vintage (flats) pickups.
Oh, and the G041339 is the serial number, not a production number which might indicate the number produced. The actual production numbers for standard production models are not released as public information.
Hope this helps.

While it's not any special build that I can tell, it is a beauty!Elwood wrote:Here they are...glad to help.

It does have the 3 bolt neck with the micro tilt and there are a
number of members on the GbL who feel that G&L should not
have changed to the 4 bolt neck.
Elwood, thanks for posting theo23's photos

Nice legacy, I don't miss the three bolt as much as I miss the deep contours of the early legacy guitars. It's the reason I bought my '93 in the first place over a new legacy.Craig wrote:While it's not any special build that I can tell, it is a beauty!Elwood wrote:Here they are...glad to help.

Re: 1995 g&l legacy electric guitar info.
I can't see the G&L logo on those pickups--could they be the Duncan SSL-2s? Have to look at the back side to be sure, I think. Either way, it's good. I really like the G&L pickups.
Nice guitar!
