About G&L Legacy

The G&L Legacy is a versatile, player-friendly guitar modelled after the Leo Fender designed G&L S-500 (not to mention that certain other Leo Fender designed guitar) and has a few Leo Fender innovations under the hood.

The G&L Legacy features the G&L PTB System which stands for ‘Passive Treble and Bass’. In almost all electric guitars there is a passive ‘Tone’ knob which rolls off brightness. In Leo’s PTB system there is a second tone knob which rolls off bass giving extraordinary control over tone. The G&L Legacy also boasts the Leo Fender-designed Dual-Fulcrum vibrato. This engineering marvel allows players to bend up and down with incredible tuning stability.

The standard G&L Legacy comes with three vintage-voiced Alnico V Single Coil pickups with that famous chime but it is also available in HH and HSS configurations. The G&L Legacy is made both in the famous Fullerton factory in California and as part of the affordable Tribute Series made in Indonesia.

Frequently Asked Questions about G&L Legacy

Question: What is the difference between the G&L Legacy and the G&L S-500?
The G&L Legacy and G&L S-500 are very similar instruments with slight differences. The Legacy has vintage-voiced Alnico V single-coils which are pretty old-school but in sound and design. The S-500 has Leo Fender’s MFD pickups he designed in the early 80s. These are ceramic pickups with adjustable pole pieces and are slightly hotter than Alnico pickups. The S-500 also has a toggle-switch which brings in the neck pickup regardless of where the pickup selector blade is allowing ‘all on’ configurations or T-style bridge and neck sounds.
Question: Where is the G&L Legacy made?
The G&L Legacy is made in Fullerton, California and as part of the Tribute Series in Indonesia.
