G&L really THAT good?

Re: G&L really THAT good?

When I bought my Legacy, the previous owner had changed the wiring to a traditional Strat setup, and I've been toying for a while of restoring the PTB wiring. How do you reckon that'll work with the Everything Axe mini-buckers that I've got fitted???

Keep on with the pics!!!

Now if I can only decide on the color of my future ASAT Special. Any 2 tone burst ASAT out there?

I think that's the way to go. Want to dial in a little more low end and a bit less tops for the bridge, then reverse it for the neck/mid?......easy. The everything axe set really only has the JB as its HOT pickup. The others are more vintage HB and vintage s/c type tones.

Yeah, I think the PTB is the way to go; you'll have tone controls for all three pickups. The amount of subtle shading you can do is amazing. It seems to work better on the guitars with the hotter pickups (Comanche, S-500, Legacy Special), so you should hear a lot of goodness.

One of the coolest effects--I do this often with my Comanches--I'll get it to start feeding back, and then the I can use the PTB to actually adjust the harmonic. I've done that a couple of times at jams and guys will always come up and ask me how I did that.

The PTB circuit was without a doubt one of Leo Fender's best inventions. I wouldn't play any strat-type guitar without it.

A friend of mine picked this up a few days ago. I'm gonna see if I can't trade it out of his hands.

Southpawguy, your collection is awesome. I love the natural wood binding.

Cheers Bill. Looks like I'd better find myself 1Meg and 500K pots!
 
Re: G&L really THAT good?

d1dsj, very nice guitars there...What color is that ASAT? Is that the blonde that G&L still uses as a premier finish?

Yes, my favorite colour for either a Strat or Tele type, I still have the blonde Legacy which has a very thin finish.

Yea I like that finish alot, especially if there is a good amount of wood showing through.

I just can't seem to make a final decision.
First it was natural with a rosewood board and black pick guard.
Then it was 2 tone burst, rosewood board, natural mask binding and tortise guard. Now the blonde is on my mind. :banghead:
 
Re: G&L really THAT good?

This one will be with me shortly ...a 2007 Legacy Special in cherry burst.

The Special is basically a Legacy with Gotoh pickups, locking tuners and a graphite nut and string tree. The pickups are especially fat sounding.
 
Re: G&L really THAT good?

Yea Southpawguy, that looks like another good one! I just got an ASAT Special a couple weeks ago and I do believe the hype. It's a killer guitar.
