Match for match, the G&L quality is consistently top notch. I own a S-500, Asat Special and a Legacy, and the quality and finish of this brand is second to none in my personal opinion. I do own 3 Fender Strats, EC/EJ/Amer Spec and a Amer Tele Special. Love these Fenders, but bought my most recent G&L over another Fender for quality. G&L also are much better in the price dept as well. Great job Andy on the demo.
I own one of these that belonged to Neal Schon. They are very different in feel and sound to a Strat. I have two custom shop Strats and I have to say that they are in the same vein but at the same time so different. It's hard to describe unless you have both. They are both excellent guitars.
I'd love to own one of these. G&L is an amazingly versatile company, and their instruments, even the ones made out of the USA, are always finely crafted. This and the G&L Tribute 2000 bass are on the top of my list for musical intruments.
Very cool instrument.The only thing I think it's missing is that classic Fender skunk-stripe down the back of the neck.But really don't care about that much.
One of the best Strat type guitars ever made are the G&L! I have some and I didn´t regret the purchase. Best money ever paid for a strat type guitar :)
Hey Andy, are the G&L Legacy Tributes any good? I know they are less expensive and a lower quality than the regular ones. Is there a major difference in the two?
I played one of those G&L Tribute strats and I really loved it! When I went back to play it again about a month later, it was gone, sold...man, I was bummed!
How do you get in my head Andy? As you were finishing up right before you play the outro and I was thinking "He should play some Red Hot Chili Peppers" and you totally play Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Amazing. Simply amazing.
The riffs I think I recognized, Spanish Castle Magic, Come Together, Custard Pie. The Duncan TB-4 is really a perfect bridge pickup for Leo designed guitars. I put one on my G&L S-500. The Black on black on black on that Legacy looks perfect. Beautiful instrument.

Ummm, Andy, did you pull back on the neck to bend the notes up? That is quite something, I'd be afraid to snap the neck off or something.
