Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Acoustic Electric Guitars
I should start by qualifying that I only had this G&L Legacy Tribute a few days, and my impression of it is very much initial and not long term. Because of the unusually low price, I messaged the seller asking if there were any issues, or if this was a demo instrument. I was told "no issues, it is new". When I got it, it played great for a few minutes, then suddenly I got no sound in middle pickup position, only one sound at positions 1 & 2, and only one sound between 4 & 5. I paid a local guitar shop to replace the pickup switch but that wasn't the issue. So I returned it Judging by all the glowing reviews I've read, I suspect this is an unusual problem. The playing feel, fit and finish, and sound were all great! I mean for an Indonesian made guitar, really great. I especially like the G&L passive bass and treble controls. Combined with a 5-way switch, lots of different tones. It is also very comfortable to hold and play, but that's how Leo Fender designed it to be. After returning it, I got a good deal on a USA made "G&L ASAT Classic S Alnico", which also has 3 pickups and a 5-way switch, but in a tele-style body. The looks and tone suited me more. This is all subjective opinion, but I'm glad I paid more for a USA model, because it is one fantastic feeling and sounding instrument! The Legacy Tribute really is a nice guitar, compared to similarly priced Fender models. But even though I am not a pro or an expert, I can tell a significant difference with a USA made model, and a lot of it is in the neck. I can't say if there's a difference in sound quality or tone, because the ASAT and Legacy are different models with different pickups. Bottom line, if you only have $300-$500 to spend on a solid-body electric guitar, the only thing in that price range I've played that rivals the G&L Legacy Tribute in quality and playing feel is a Korean PRS SE (I own 2). In fact, if I didn't have extra money from a second job right now, I'd have stuck with the Legacy (G&L doesn't make a 3-pickup, Nashville-style ASAT overseas, USA only). That's right, out of all the strat style guitars out there under $1,000, I'd pick the Legacy Tribute. I loved it, I just love the USA ASAT more.Read full review

These guitars are as good as Fender's best and a step ahead in development. Don't be fooled by the "Made In Indonesia" mark. The workmanship is great and the pickups, switches, wiring, etc are US made. These Tribute Series guitars are the best-kept secret in guitars today. Just make sure you get the real CLF-100 pickups with the G&L logo on the covers as some of the newer Tribute Legacies have cheaper pickups on them.
