Finally got in a Tribute Legacy by G&L. I've owned several G&L and have generally been very pleased with them. This is the first of either 2 or 3 videos that will cover the tones clean, dirty and this video, which has a lot of the technical details

Thanks for the video. Mine just arrived today! Same exact model - Irish Ale. This is my third G&L the others being a '80-something Rampage and a more recent Invader Deluxe. Only played this for an hour then watched your video. Pretty spot-on review, man. Solid guitar, giggable, great looks, nice sound and a perfect Strat-style addition to round out your collection. Might drop a Hot Rails in the bridge this weekend. Nato wood, huh? My Invader has same finish and I was told it was mohagony... Whatever.. I love my G&Ls!

Nice review -- I have a G&L tribute T-style, with P-90s, in that Irish Ale finish. A legacy (or perhaps a S-500) is definitely on my someday list...

Always been intrigued and have never gotten hands on one. T cut is my fave usually but I love a humbucker or 3rd pickup too. I would be a boring lottery winner for sure.

Yeah, this is an actual gigging machine. I'm about to move overseas, had to sell off the collection, but I've been trying to find one of these to buy when I get there.

Thanks, for $300, it's was a steal. The US pickups make all the difference.

Hi! Great video. I have the same model in Sunburst. Do you think S-500 is much better? I was just thinking on changing it or maybe just have the PU changed for MFD's. Thanks

@bluesman7119 4 жыл бұрын

I am intrigued so these MFD's are pretty much the higher end of quality of ceramics, I love the colour, I am looking at a second guitar, what I like is Fender Player series , G&L , and Vintage Brand Trevor Wilkinson Vintage V6Mrbk V6 Boulevard Black which sounds and looks amazing,

@dennislbrown 4 жыл бұрын

Actually, this one isn't MFD, it is alnico. They make the same guitar in two configurations, both use US made pickups. The alnico 5 pickups are in the Legacy model, like in this video, and the MFD are in the S-500. I had MFD pickups in an ASAT Special, quite nice but very finicky to set up due to the sensitivity. Once setup (each pole piece), the sound was amazing.

Hi , nice video , I have a question for you I picked up the same model and the bridge pick up is a lot quieter than the mid and neck any ideas on how to go about finding what’s wrong . Ty

Thanks for the review. Would you say it's more red or more brown?

Equal measures of both, to be honest.

@GiannisSKonstantinidis25 3 жыл бұрын

I like very much the Legacy tribute, as well as the S-500 but I don't like the glossy neck on the S-500. Does the Legacy also have a glossy neck? I hope not!

No it doesn't.

for beginner what is best legacy or s500?

@Dscoetc 3 жыл бұрын

I dont think it really matters, the only difference is going to be tonal. You have a slight advantage where you can set the pole heights on the S500. The Legacy has standard single coils which is more in line with a normal strat, tone wise and alnico pole pieces. Best to double check this, I dont own a G&L.

I remember..... yeah yeahhhh, I remember! Good tone for that song. You mentioned this is made of NATO, the new squier cv 60’s is made of NATO as well. Hmm... it’s about $200 cheaper as well. Thoughts?

@dennislbrown 4 жыл бұрын

Lots of Asian made guitars are. Since it is a local wood, it is pretty common. It's actually a good tone wood. Much better than basswood, in that it isn't as soft, so the guitars don't dent up as easily as basswood bodies.

43mm nut? Are you sure about that? I think you may be confusing the Fullerton line with the Tribute line. Tribute guitars have a 41.275mm nut; Fullerton guitars are slightly thicker, almost 43mm.

between a squier classic vibe 70s and this G&L which do you think is the best option?

@@Dexterrjoe Thanks, I just bought one like the one in this video, I like how the classic vibe of the 70s natural looks, but I already have a standard squier and from what I read the legacy is something much superior. Cheers!
