At the moment I am without a "Strat" in my collection. I'm more drawn to humbucker sounds, but can really get in to a 3 single coil guitar at times. I'm thinking of ordering a Legacy, along with an extra pickguard cut for 2 humbuckers that I'll load myself. That way I can go trad S/S/S or switch over to dual hum strat a la Jimmy Herring at will. I will set up a quick change connector assembly so I can do it with just a screwdriver at string change time.
My boggle now is the color, pickguard color(s), fingerboard wood and neck finish. I am going to order an alder body with a solid finish, 1a neck, locking tuners and DFS vibrato. I really like the Magarita and Tangerine, but the vintage white with a totoise guard might be just what I need. I've been using the online guitar generator as a visual aid and that helps. I've even entertained doing natural binding, but that is not likely.
I have to say, the lack of consistent product information from G&L is a drag. For instance, the option price list that Buffalo Bros hosts, says that the standard case is molded, and the deluxe G&G is an upcharge. My local dealer assures me and the 2010 press release on the G&L site says all USA guitars come with a G&G case. Then again the online store on G&L's site says the tolex case is included with only select models.
I can't blame Buffalo for falling short on a service they offer in an effort to make up for the manufacturer's shortcoming, but the existence of misinformation makes overcoming the lack of "official" information more stressful than it should be. Another thing is I've seen guitars for sale with satin tinted necks. That is not listed as an option on any website or generator I've seen. It's a really good thing G&L builds guitars better than they conduct their marketing efforts. 
The online guitar generator is probably the best thing I've seen on the web to help me crystalize what I want to order from G&L. So, anyway... I'm here to scour for information and see if i can get inspired enough to pull the trigger on an order. Any tidbits, favorite color schemes, etc. are welcome. Cheers, Jon
