G&L Tribute Series Legacy Sunburst 2008

G&L Tribute Legacy, made in Indo 2008, sunburst. G&L was founded by none other than Leo Fender and his longtime collaborator George Fullerton, and the brand offeredLeo’s final takes on his revolutionary designs. The Legacy takes the classic Strat and adds some modern features like medium jumbo frets, a 12″ radius and a great two point vibrato bridge and some electronic wizardry. The swamp ash and rock maple combo would be easily fitting on a more expensive guitar, they look classy and dial out a stack of thick mids and crispy clear treble. The tone knobs are cool: the first acts in the traditional way as a master tone for all three pickups, and the second dials in Leo’s ‘Passive Treble Bass’ system that fattens up both the lows and highs, adding strength and fullness to the standard spank. The neck is comfortable and quick, it feels very sturdy in the hands and loves a big bend. These are reallywell designed and madeStrat-style guitars and are brilliant value new, so this ‘looks almost new’ example is surely a bargain. Thanks Leo!
