G&L USA Fullerton Deluxe Legacy Electric Guitar In Shoreline Gold

The Legacy is one of G&L’s most popular and enduring guitar models. Although it sports a number of the forward-thinking features that the late Leo Fender innovated during his time at the company, including a silky-smooth ‘Dual-Fulcrum’ tremolo and the flexible ‘PTB Tone System’ (passive treble/bass controls), it’s fair to say that the Legacy bundles together some of the most time-honoured options from the G&L option order menu — reminiscent of a classic S-style guitar.

This particular G&L Legacy electric guitar is a product of the famous Fullerton factory, where Leo’s private workshop still remains. It’s a beautifully-crafted, rock-solid workhorse instrument that’s made for musicians who love vintage guitar tones, but appreciate modern playability.

Key Features

• Alder Body — A balanced-sounding, medium-weight timber that serves as an ideal sonic foundation for the trio of pickups. Features a comfortable rear contour.
• Bolt-On Construction — Produces a snappy note response for an immediate playing experience.
• ‘Modern Classic’ Neck Profile — A fairly slim shape with a mild taper from 0.820″ at 1st fret to 0.870″ at the 12th fret. Enhanced with a slippery satin finish for fast playability.
• Medium Jumbo Frets — Offer a controllable feel for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
• CLF-100 Alnico Single-Coil Pickups — Designed to capture the essence of the vintage ’60s sound, with their medium output providing a slightly thicker mid-range than most single-coils without sacrificing clarity.
• PTB Tone System — Gives you two master tone controls, one that decreases the treble like a typical tone knob, and one that decreases the low-end. It’s like having a built-in, passive 2-band EQ!
• Dual-Fulcrum Tremolo — This two-pivot, low-friction design provides a smooth and “silky” feel that allows you to bend notes up as well as down. The hardened steel bridge plate pivots on knife-edge bolts which are set into massive brass inserts anchored into the body; yielding brilliant sustain and resonance.
• G&L Deluxe Gig Bag — Included is a sturdy, lightweight and water-resistant soft case that sports a pair of shoulder straps for convenient travel.

Reviews

“At first glance, the Legacy could be ‘just another’ upmarket S-type solidbody, but its competence and class creep up on you in a very compelling way. It’s an accomplished, capable performer with a subtly evolved feel, progressive features and classy build.” — Jamie Dickson, Musicradar
