G&L's Legacy: the company's take on the Stratocaster layout, from Tribute to build-to-order.
Watch
Why it matters
G&L was founded by Leo Fender after he left Fender, and the Legacy's pickups and Dual-Fulcrum vibrato are the practical differences from a Stratocaster. The line runs from imported Tribute instruments through the Fullerton Deluxe versions to build-to-order guitars, so price depends heavily on which tier is chosen. It suits players who want the familiar layout with G&L's own hardware.
Note
Vintage-style Strat with G&L pickups and Dual-Fulcrum vibrato.

Before you buy
