  ThreeLions's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Why buy a Fender?"

  Characteristics

  Manufacturing Usa
  
  Channel 22 frets (very varnish)
  
  3 alnico V single coil pickups
  
  Different settings for a Fender: 1 volume, 1 treble, 1 bass

  Utilization

  The handle takes a little getting used to:
  
  A little bigger than a Fender Stratocaster from home and less fat than a Telecaster.
  
  Only downside, it is very polished and when you sweat it tends to stick a little (it may be rotting my hands tell me you).
  
  Access to acute a stratum with 22 boxes nothing to say.
  
  
  
  Do you get a good sound easy?
  
  Ben just depends in which one branch but it sounds like a vintage Start without spending 2500 euros

  Sounds

  Versatile (it is the nature of the strata, um pardon Legacy).
  
  Crystal clear sound pickup, warm neck pickup.
  
  
  
  It has everything you seek is soft, warm, adjusting treble and bass and much smarter than the simple tone.
  
  Then when she returned she slams into it (Can not stop playing the Red Hot has never been so good)
  
  
  
  So I plug it into a Mesa Boogie Transatlantic TA 15 and 1X12 cab is good and no complaints. After the small adjustments made while she plays every single

  Overall Opinion

  I played on a Telecaster, well I do not press more.
  
  
  
  2 months is my main guitar.
  
  
  
  She is really nickel: build quality, sound ......
  
  
  
  Buy a Legacy quickly instead of going to Euro 2500 in a Fender Custom Shop that does more than the name.
  
  
  
  It's even better in quality and much cheaper.
  
  
  
  My buddy has a special edition Stratocaster and uses it for 5 years wants to change to a Legacy ..... Fullerton and red of course

  Bozo56's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Versatile guitar perfect"

  Characteristics

  Made USA.Couleur sunburst G & L bridge, rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets. Rglages just a DIFFERENT START: Volume gnral, an acute rglage, rglage a low trs effective. 3 alnico V single coil pickup, made in United States.

  Utilization

  Channel trs enjoyable, a little more "big" as the stratum. Trs beautiful sound.

  Sounds

  One can obtain a large plume of sound: the sound of the lens hot jazz. I never use the bridge pickup on any guitar.

  Overall Opinion

  + I have a Start that does not sound the same, much more crystalline than the G & L Legacy, but less versatile.
  
  In the era I pay $ 750 on eBay in the United States (including transport). Since she began cte be more, probably because of the range Korene which is more affordable and Submitted in Europe and making the commercial for the brand. (The bass is also trsrputes!)
  
  You should know that Mr Leo Fender itself has Designed this guitar! This is a continuation of "his Fender decent adventure." He sold his factory to get back to fawn guitars craft, never forget that. G & L is no drive or copy of a Fender, it is the child of Mr. Fender itself.
  
  Conclusion: it's a great guitar!

  jeff monin's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Mapple round neck (strat-style vintage)
  
  guitar made in usa (manufacturing quality)
  
  this acts as a stratum (in fact it is one) with something truly authentic gaming experience, sound optenue, grain fabulous .... but good!

  Utilization

  A handle that just seem a little roots departing ... but soon becomes very likely familiar
  
  very good access to acute .. sounds microphones are really very good
  
  a reasonable weight for this style of guitar ....

  Sounds

  On a tube amp (Fender deluxe style .... ect) is a winner

  Overall Opinion

  I use on stage and studio .... . no worries
  
  the price on the market opportunity is ridiculous for a scratch like this
  
  I have lots of guitars (and thirty years of practice (my god already!) and I must say that it really has a great personality
  
  it will, I am a collector in the future (and therefore a good investment)
  
  big favorite for those insured and those who are in search of sounds fenderiens .....

  ouil's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  See specifications further notice.
  
  The woods used are beautiful: a beautiful maple for the neck, a beautiful sunburst which I have never seen the eqivalent even on more expensive guitars.
  
  Note: the handle is made of two glued parts which explains the absence of the tongue to drown the usual rounds with no button reported.
  
  Last specification, the two tone controls have a functioning original, namely that they manage for the first treble and bass respectively.
  
  I put a 9 for the manufacturing quality of a very high level.

  Utilization

  The handle: it has a uniform profile throughout its C longueur.Relativement thick, it remains confortable.le important point to note is that forgives nothing: it is quite unsettling for users of the strats classiques.Cependant might appear as a defect is in fact its high quality: In addition to the fact that it will greatly improve the accuracy of the guitarist playing his instrument that works seriously, he transcribed absolutely every nuance of the game and gives an absolutely extraordinary expressiveness to guitare.Pour this conclusion on this race I would call demanding: it repels the bad guitar, but good like it a lot (I found out by having to try full of scratch)
  
  Access to acute, that of a Start
  
  Ergonomics: the average weight
  
  gives you one easy to sound good? no further because the handle which I have mentioned the pickups are in the same vein: accuracy

  Sounds

  Style of music: blues mainly, but also jazz, funk and reggae.
  
  the microphones are top quality: they are extremely accurate and translate all the nuances of the game, with very good dynamic sound is very pure and delicate (as opposed to the draft standard or strata texas special pickups such that I find were too strong almost artificial). we can finally note that crunches are beautiful and the largest loadings are never messy means that each note separately, and the guitar responds to quarter turn to the variations of Attack of the plectrum (a treat in blues with a good saturation moving from a subtle crunch to singing or screaming saturated with nothing but the intensity with which you attack the strings and a slight increase in the volume).
  
  micro serious: plain, lowering his tone, his jazzy mellow tone up the clapping and singing her
  
  serious micro and medium: variation of the position mentioned above but "dull", more adapted to the rhythmic
  
  micro center: perfect for arpeggios in his clear, beautiful musicality
  
  micro center and acute: in my opinion the only weak point of the skyscraper: the position is normally typical for the funk, he was obviously in contrast to other positions but I find it less excellent compared to classic strats
  
  micro acute: it is true then the good surprise connoisseurs strats understand me, it is often the weak point of traditional strats, that's a little loud and musical, with the scratches at all, it was a dynamics and especially impressive, I repeat, MUSIC!
  
  
  
  Finally, note the operating characteristics of the 2 tone knobs: one manages the acute of all positions of the selector and the second bass in the same façon.Ce is interesting about it is that can be used in the same way as the boost on this strats clapton and buddy guy (with a more measured course as the rest of passive electronic): for rhythm you put it in 7 / 8 and at go to solo it is put at 10, which is bigger sound (also very interesting within a solo add a little aggression and sustain additional times or you want to increase the intensity ).
  
  
  
  I use this guitar with a hot rod deluxe (tube amp needed to bring out the qualities) and a budda phatman in overdrive; With this equipment the sound that comes closest to what I get is those of clapton on ridding albums with the king or the tribute to robert johnson

  Overall Opinion

  I have this guitar for the past 5 ans.Pour the record before it had a standard American Fender Start that I sold to buy an ovation, and no longer a Sheraton Electric (which is a dark shit by the way) I wanted to find a good strato.j 've tried the whole range of Fender American Classics at custom shops through signature patterns over several months, before falling on the g & l and there fell in love ! Compared to any Fender I find it much better (except for the custom shops). the quality / price ratio appears exceptional in light of what it costs the equivalent in fender custom shop (the g & l is 1500euros among fender count 1000euros more at least).

  macko's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  This is THE START!
  
  Fully hand fabrication Fullerton (suburb of LA) in California.
  
  Mine dates from 1997. certificate under the hand of Ms. Lo Fender, the same.
  
  simple vintage microphones without snoring.
  
  amlior vibrato over Fender: heavier, better sustain
  
  Alder body, handle, saddle and rosewood fingerboard.

  Utilization

  Trs enjoyable round, the key is oil, not varnished.
  
  Jumbo frets, intonation prcise.
  
  the sound is just above all that can be made Fender, including MODELS signature.
  
  You should know that G & L is the initials of those who made the original Fender (Fender George Fullerton and Lo) and the Music Man. G & L is the culmination of Fender.
  
  All styles are possible with the Legacy, the guitar is universal. Although the trash and trs big sound, there are more brands Specializes.

  Sounds

  Ideal for the Blues, Rock, Pop, Jazz, Varita.
  
  I play on an all-tube Laney 30watts.
  
  The notes are always distinct, never really fat, or it must add effects.
  
  I prfre the neck pickup for jazz, removing a bit of treble.
  
  Rglages of the high and low trs are effective.
  
  the 2nd position down to the micro acute idalie is for country, rockabilly surf and other.
  
  bridge pickup, its brand is well-crunch perfect for blues and rock Texas, zztop type.

  Overall Opinion

  I have 6 years. I play guitar (not well-trs) from prs 40.
  
  The color is cherry sunburst with a beautiful varnish, made by hand: splendid.
  
  I wanted to buy dpart Start Plus, I tried a dozen before falling on the Legacy.
  
  In the cost, I did not know the price, I thought I could not pay me because it silent so above the rest!
  
  Reading the reports on the sites us, this confirms my choice.
  
  The ratio quality price is excellent, although since it is 50% more expensive.
  
  If I had to buy a Start, it's G & L that I choose not hsiter.

  Utilization

  Guitar trs enjoyable, well balance, ergonomic handle trs. The tailpiece, spcial enough, the effects can indict, and the guitar is good agreement. I think nanmoins add a block chords. Indeed, it is not a pink floyd either ...

  Sounds

  Sound quite different, it's a pretty versatile guitar, the neck pickup gives a sound that resembles a bit of 70's strats with great attack and a sound VERY slamming the microphone tailpiece is beautifully bright, me r gle gnrale I am in position 2, where the sound is wonderfully smooth ... on the other hand I confess to never use the middle pickup alone.
  
  
  
  Note that the wood is beautiful and the trs sound quality suffers

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for 2 years. It's not a guitar maker, but it's a good guitar, no doubt, and good quality compared to the layers of the same price range that are much more made the "string" . G & L is a box that attaches small manufacture of quality guitars by hand.
