G&L Tribute Legacy FS/FT

Adam_MD

I need P90s back in my life so putting this up for sale again.

2004 Legacy Tribute in blueburst.

Ash body, 22 fret maple neck with rosewood fretboard.  Pickups have been changed by a previous owner for a set of Voltage strat pickups.  I rewired the guitar for master volume/master tone though will include the original pots if you want to reinstate the treble/bass system.  Very good condition body and frets look excellent.  Also comes with a hardcase.  

£220 delivered or will trade for something with p90s, humbucker sized p90s, or humbuckers.  I'm based in the Northampton area these days.  Here's some pics, any questions just ask.

This one gives an accurate idea of the colour in daylight

Yeah - why do so many G&L strat shapes come in blueburst? I could go for a legacy or S500 but ain't so mad keen on the blue!

How do the new pickups make it sound?

You want a nice black ASAT

I like the blueburst, I'm so shallow I wouldn't have bought it if it was sunburst The Voltage pickups are really good, they're basically quiet but very punchy. They also handle gain very well.

Everyone needs a black ASAT... but only after they get an awesome blueburst Legacy

Adam_MD

Le bump

close2u

... indeed, that would no doubt be a very nice thing !!

I'm so hard to please ... I like to see wood grain so not sure about the black but don't really like the blue either ... oh man ... GAS'll get ya ... lol

On a serious note monquixote ... now I have a Tribute ASAT I do wonder at the improvement that a US model would bring ... for the extra cost

 

 

@Adam_MD

does it have a G&L hard case?

Adam_MD

No it's just a generic hard case that came with it when I bought it.

Price drop £230 delivered to your door. Or will trade for something with P90s/humbuckers.

Really tempted by this. Been after a strat for a while. Let me see if I can sneak another addition past SWMBO and get back to you. 

I'm in Northampton, btw, so could pick it up.

You're very welcome to try it out anytime you like.

Adam, it has been made quite clear that one new guitar before Christmas is enough. If it's still going in the New Year I may revisit, but if not good luck with your sale, mate. 

Adam_MD

No problem

Adam_MD

Price drop £220 posted to your door. I can also meet up most places in south east or collect from Northampton.

Absolute bargain. I just wish I could make use of a "strat"
Can't believe it's still here

I'm here to scratch my GAS itch once more.

Apart from the blueburst - which is not on top of my favourite colour list ... and the rosewood - I like maple on Fender-ish things -

 

I'm wondering whether this would give me more / different / better in comparison to my Squier CV 50s strat (whose 2-tone burst finish I really like).

The neck on my CV is a little on the thin / small side.

What is the neck on this like?

If it is like my tribute ASAT special it'll be good.

 

Adam_MD

I've never played another tribute so can't compare it to your ASAT. It's listed as a medium C by G&L and definitely not as thin as the cv 60s strat I had. Very similar to my cv50s tele at 1st to 3rd frets and gets fatter as it goes down the neck.

Where are you based? I travel a lot for work and might be able to meet you if you wanted to check it out.

close2u

I'm in Stockton, work in Middlesbrough (Teesside - north east).

Does any one know if the 50s and 60s CV strats have the same neck profile?

Adam_MD

I don't go as far North as that dude. I've never played a 50s cv either, just a 60s and a Simon Neil which were identical.

close2u

ok - no probs as I'm sure P&P would be good

can you describe the pickups and controls more ... what have they brought to the guitar in terms of character etc? And what do you have left from the stock items?
