I was out and about today all over the place here in town. I decided to stop by a music store that I haven't been in in ages it seems. They really had some cool stuff in there now, and I played some really good guitars.
I picked up and played some Ibanez's. Peavey's, etc, and then I picked up a G&L Legacy. Now I've never been a big Strat kinda guy, but holy crap man....what a great guitar that was. It was a USA mad G&L Legacy guitars by Leo model...not one of the Tribute ones. I picked that thing up and started playing it and it was just soooooo comfortable feeling and playing. The neck was just so smooth feeling. It was setup very well and played like butter. I really liked the radius on it. I don't know what it was, but it felt like it was probably a 12" radius like Les Pauls. I just felt at home on it. The neck shape was kind of thick. It was somewhat like a Les Paul, but not really....kind of hard to explain. It's almost like it was somewhere between a 50's neck and a slim taper neck. Maybe it was what the call a C profile or whatever? I don't know much about Strat type guitars. Anyways, the thing just resonated like crazy. The strings were about half ass dead, but it still sounded great unplugged. I never did plug it in, but I sure did like it unplugged.
I think they were asking $1199 for it, but I can't remember. They had about four to six of them ranging in price from $999 to $1199. It was a great guitar.
Anyways, I don't really know what the point of this thread was. I guess I just wanted to say I played a really great guitar today and was smitten with it. It was exactly like this one.
