i just bought a legacy made in or assembled in indonesia....no paint.....one piece neck and i am surprised how much i like it looks feels better than my american strat which cost more............dont know if i will replace pickups seymore antiquitiy?? never heard of those....
nasty chops man! you do the g&l justice my friend. I play a s500 myself, and I gotta know, is your legacy an alder or ash-wood model? the tone of the wood makes the all the difference in the world. Once again, nice playing man, keep shreddin. peace
Lovely tone here! Can you get into that Bonamassa/EJ violin tone with the Barber DD paired with some other boost, or does the tri-boost play a significant part here?
You can definitely get it with the DirectDrive by itself - but the Triple Boost makes the sound a bit fatter, which is really helpful on the bridge pickup with the G&L Strat. It's really all about getting a smooth OD tone dialed in and the right setting on the delay. I see you posted on my other vid, but I definitely agree, the DD has more available gain than a tubescreamer, is more dynamic, and has more of a Marshall voice. It can still do the SRV stuff too.
how much did that cost? I'm looking for a Legacy but i haven't been playing guitar for that long so I'm probably looking more at the tribute series. is there a huge difference?
@shizaaaaam $1100 but that was 4-5 years ago. I haven't played a Tribute. You can find some nice deals on the USA guitars used I think that is the best option.
Thanks...I was playing this at pretty low volume so I probably had it set around noon. Was using it more to impart some "color" to the sound rather than push the amp into power tube od.
I'm looking at a G & L Legacy HB right now, but I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what the difference in sound between the HB (split-able humbucker) and the S500 (single-coil) would really amount to. I want to do blues and soul music.
sounds good bro! i just had a G&L legacy given to me! i can't wait to get it home. your's sounds great. what to you use to get such a great distortion sound with the single coil set up?
It's all coming from the pedals. An Outlaw Supply Texas Triple Boost in germanium mode pushing a Barber Direct Drive overdrive pedal (one of the best out there!). The amp is set totally clean. The delay helps thicken up the sound too. Also, the Legacys come with the tone knob wired to the bridge P/U, so it's good to roll that off to tame the extreme treble from that position.
This sounded like blues with a little bit of Eric Johnson. You sir are a winner.

I put Seymour antiquity's in mine, what a guitar tho. Whenever I pick it up I fall in love. Probably better than my Fender's altho I love them also.

Hey Presc86!

What would you recommend?
Thanks!
