These guys often have good deals on G&L guitars. Maybe they can help you get one sooner....

I've often wondered how available G&L's are in other countries. They're a California company, but they're the only real heir to the Fender crown, due to Leo's ownership of both Fender and G&L. Do they get distributed much to Australia, Japan, England etc?

I've played one of the Tiger Eye flamed ones at GGuitars and I was floored as well, but my purple one came around and I couldn't say no to it
.
In my case, I've found that as long as the width of the neck is at a medium to long distance, I'm fine with whatever shape or size neck is on a guitar. My G&L Skyhawk has a pretty thin neck, but flying on that guitar is a breeze
You're right about dings on a guitar, it is a scary thought, but a guitar that nice deserves to be played bigtime. With the price being around a good Gibson or PRS, it really can't be beat.
Still, G&L's rock and I'm sure you'll be very happy with it

Most Duncans come in Gibson pole piece spacing, but Fenders and Floyd equipped guitars perform better with Trembucker spacing, so the two E's have the poles directly underneath them.

We get a few G&Ls coming through here, but only really 'count on one hand' type figures. Compared to the amount of Fenders and Gibsons that flow through it's a really small volume. They go for about NZ$3,200 for a new Legacy (fairly standard spec) which is equivalent to about US$2,300. So when I see the prices you guys are paying for these awesome used babies, yep, I get kinda wistful...
In New Zealand they don't really have the same brand image as Fenders, which is good and bad. I picked my 1991 Legacy up on the used market when I was looking for a Fender Strat. Got it for significantly less than I would have had to pay for a Fender of a similar quality. After I bought it I actually got the shop to do a set-up on it, and I think they only then realised the quality of the guitar they'd sold me at a reasonably low price.
To give a comparison of pricing, I saw a 1995 Fender Strat going for 25% more than a 1995 Legacy the other day - it's fairly normal.
I'm planning on buying a guitar or two next time I'm in the USA

I know the local importer, and he's offered to do me a deal if I ever want one. He has a decent but not massive stock available. Generally, the quality is high.
On a similar tack, I saw one of the tribute import models when I was on holiday, and I swear it was one of the nicest 'budget' guitars I'd ever seen. If you'd put it amongst a bunch of MIA G&Ls, I wouldn't have been able to pick it out as an import.

I've always wondered why G&L's don't have an excellent resale value. They're quality guitars, so it seems like they'd hold more value. Used G&L's and Hamers are two of the best 'bang for buck' deals out there.
