G&L Dual Fulcrum Vibrato............

Do these stay in tune pretty well? I'm looking for a used tremolo equipped HB bridge guitar and I'm considering the G&L Legacy Deluxe and the USA Wolfgang Special.

Can any G&L players tell me how the Dual Fulcrum vibrato perform?

Also, any other guitars with tremolo's and HB bridge pup in the $750 range I should consider?

I don't have first hand experience, but they look killer and they gotta be good cause they're G&L. And Leo Fender probably designed it. They have a dealer down in Santa Monica, called True Tone. Go take a look.

I pound the hell out of mine and it stays in tune pretty well - but I think that's mostly due to the locking tuners (a must for any guitar with a trem). You can't go wrong with a legacy deluxe - I love mine!

My Legacy Deluxe is quickly becoming one of my favorite guitars, and first one's I grab for. Who woulda thought that a maple veneer on basswood would sound great, but I guess Anderson, Suhr, and G&L figured something out. As for the tremolo, I think it's a different sound than Fender, due to the mass and density of the G&L bridge, but it also carries a beefier sound to the pickups because of that. As long as the nut slots are plenty wide and you don't have many wraps around the tuning post, it'll stay in tune under normal light useage. Still not made for divebombing, Floyd style.
If you like nice chunky C necks, buy the Legacy over the Musicman, for sure. If you like narrower smaller necks, get the MM.

I've got a C-5 trem and 2 Fat 50's in my G&L right now, but MRID just sent me an EVH to try out in this guitar. I'll hear it tonight with the EVH. The playability of the guitar is amazing, but I'm going to try every pickup combination I can till I stumble on the one that KILLS in this guitar.

The G&L dual fulcrum tremelo, is the best non locking tremelo on the market. I have some dual fulcrum equipped G&L's in my collection that date back to the beginnings of G&L, and they still work perfectly.
