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

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.

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...
@patnis1004 жыл бұрын
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.

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!

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!

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.

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,
@dennislbrown4 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.

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.

@Dscoetc3 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.
