Description
Condition: This guitar is in good shape for its age! There are scratches, nicks, dings and dents throughout the body and neck but nothing major. There is a slight hazing on the lacquer likely due to moisture or a chemical reaction between the lacquer and the case. This is only visible under direct lighting however. There are some pick scratches on the pickguard and body but the protective plastic wrapping is still intact on the pickguard! There is some very light blemishing and corrosion on some of the metal parts. The pickguard is 3-ply and the back cover plate is single-ply so one may be unoriginal. There are a few extra screw holes on the bottom of the neck but this is very common for a G&L. fingerboard and frets have moderate play wear and plenty of life left in them. The neck has a bit of relief that is most prominent on the bass side but is very straight overall and comfortable to play. The truss rod and neck tilt adjustment function fine. The nut is just slightly off center in the slot but is fine and has proper string spacing. All electronics and parts are in perfect working condition.
Body: Solid contoured body in black finish. Leo Fender-designed G&L Dual Fulcrum vibrato bridge with six individual saddles, skirted control knobs, a 3-ply parchment pickguard and a single-ply back cover plate.
Neck: Slender maple neck with 3-bolt attachment and neck tilt adjustment. Maple fingerboard with black dot inlays and a 1 5/8” nut. Currently equipped with locking Sperzel tuners. 25.5” scale length.
Pickups/Electronics: G&L Dual Blade pickups in the neck and middle and a Power Blade in the bridge. Master volume control, bass control, treble control (both labeled as tone) and a 5-way selector switch.
Neck: 5.15K Ohms.
Middle: 5.19K Ohms.
Bridge: 7.25K Ohms.
Weight: 8lbs, 0.0oz.
Playability/Sound: The Legacy Special packs a lot of punch thanks to the blade pickups. They offer tons of output without sacrificing chime or presence. The bass and treble controls allow the player to sculpt the sound to their specific needs. The neck is extremely comfortable and ideal for those who prefer a slimmer neck profile.
Case: Includes original hardshell case. Some original papers are included in the case. Please note, all the original papers may not be included.
