G&L Tribute Legacy Electric Guitar - Black
This Special Edition Solidbody Sounds Sublime!
The G&L Tribute Legacy Special Edition memorializes 40 years of G&L guitars. This solidbody electric guitar features all of the things that made the original Legacy guitars great, including vintage-voiced Alnico pickups, Dual-Fulcrum Vibrato, and the PTB (Passive Treble and Bass) system. You'll enjoy vintage chime and quack, expressive playing options, and a completely unique tone-shaping structure. And this guitar doesn't just sound great, it's incredibly comfortable to play, thanks to its contoured body and slinky C-shaped neck. The G&L Tribute Legacy Special Edition is a testament to G&L's dedication to creating quality instruments that will last a lifetime.
Celebrating 40 years of excellence
By 1980, blazing new frontiers had become a way of life for Leo Fender. By this time, he had already established two wildly successful guitar brands and turned the guitar world on its head. And still, Leo Fender believed that he had more innovation left in him. Together with his partner, George Fullerton, G&L burst onto the market in 1980 with forward-thinking designs and an unwavering dedication to quality. G&L's innovations included the Magnetic Field Design pickups, Dual-Fulcrum Vibrato, Saddle-Lock Bridge, and Bi-cut neck design. 40 years down the line, G&L continues to honor Leo's legacy and present his legendary improvements to the world.
Vintage-style tone
The voice of the Tribute Legacy Special Edition is created by a trio of single-coil pickups. These G&L-designed pickups carry Alnico V magnets and create the bright and spanky tone that players know and love. Using the 5-way pickup selector switch unlocks multiple tones and even the well-loved quacking tones in positions 2 and 4. If you're looking for a guitar with a vintage voice that sounds as good as it looks, you've found it. The G&L Tribute Legacy is what you're after.
Comfortable body shape and silky-smooth playability
For many guitar players, playability is the most important thing about a new axe. You can rest assured that the G&L Tribute Legacy Special Edition will play exceptionally well right out of the box. The comfortable "Medium C" neck fills your hand nicely, without being too thick and getting in the way of your playing, and the familiar body shape has soft contours that make extended playing sessions more comfortable than ever before. The Tribute Legacy is fitted with a Leo Fender-designed G&L Dual-Fulcrum Vibrato with forged brass saddles. Unlike other S-style tremolos, the Dual-Fulcrum allows you to perform silky-smooth flutters both up and down. For the utmost in playability and comfort, the G&L Tribute Legacy Special Edition is a no-brainer.
