G&L Tribute Rampage Jerry Cantrell Signature Electric Guitar For Sale (Jan 2023 Update)

I can't believe that this is an MF best seller, yet nobody has reviewed this awesome guitar yet! I've got a Tribute Rampage that I got from MF back in 2012, and I absolutely love that guitar. Amazing tone through my JCM2000 stack, and it doesn't need any OD pedal in front to push it to chug when palm muting. I decided I wanted to get the Superhawk since my ASAT Deluxe pickups weren't nearly as hot as the Rampage, and I wanted a dual pickup solution to this! I was going to get ivory to match my Rampage, but thought the blueburst was a darker vibe..and it looks amazing in person! The only thing that would have kept the vibe was a black nut like everybody shows in their pictures, but unfortunately it's a white nut..don't know why they advertise it as black though?? either way, this guitar sounds great, chugs very well when palm muting on my DSL100, and just has that same great feel that the Rampage has. I love it! totally worth it!!Jay O

Received it from UPS took it out of the box that evening used it and it worked excellent through the night used High Gain Marshall ,pickups had no feedback or squeal, sounded great have several G&L Guitars love every one of themmark

I bought a used one since no new were in stock. I own 2 USA G&Ls a 2019 Legacy Standard and 2007 ASAT Custom. And have owned about 10 older USAs including a comanche. And this one isent lacking. Great fretwork/ends. Light under 8lbs sounds like i remember my USA Commanche did. Now is the USA pure perfection, yes. Is it worth $1000+ more no. This one feels just like my 2006 ASAT. Satin neck and same 1 5/8 nut profile. Grat color also, love the emerald blue.Matt

I can echo what was said here. I would consider this an under the radar guitar that represents a tremendous value. I guess it isnt popular because it doesnt say 'Fender' or 'Stratocaster' on the headstock..The irony is that it was designed by Leo Fender himself and represents upgrades and improvements over the Strat he designed, Anyway, this thing is a tone machine. More tones than a Strat…and better tones w. more resonance and sustain than the Strats i;ve played. (Squire Standard, Squire ProTone, Strat Clapton. Can control tone on bridge pickup and you just dont get those harsh icepicky tones unless you really want to dial them in. A couple small negatives. The frets on the one I got were not finished/polished. You could actually hear them rub when you bend..and the guitar comes with 10's not 9's. Makes it really hard to bend and i would think would wear out the strings quickly. So unless I got an outlier, be prepared to do < or have done> some fret work. Also the push pull is hard to engage. You gotta put a fingernail underneath the knob and pull up hard to engage…it does seem to become a little looser and easier to engage with some use. Other than that, levels above the Strats I have played in most all ways. Musicians Friend doesnt do setups I dont think…they just ship them out without taking them out of the box they arrived in. (double boxed) Oh, i bought the sonic blue one. To me, it looks like a very pale green..or maybe i have some color blindness. It's a cool retro colour though i thinkNoBadMojo

If you're looking for the Jazzmaster vibe with some modern touches, then this is worth looking at. This has the usual G&L quality fit and finish you would expect from their USA line. Nice neck profile, rolled fretboard edges make it feel worn in already, but comes with modern 55×110 frets which I like. Great sounding pickups too, have that JM chime and jangle with a little more full frequency response from the MFD pickups. They can be really bright if needed, but roll in the tone knob and you get some sweet smooth neck tones. I think the icing on the cake with this thing is the DF trem. It is a very smooth and stable trem that I much prefer to the fender 6 screw on the player series JM or even the traditional JM trem units. If you have never played the G&L DF trem you should really check one out. Overall just a great guitar that gets you into Jazzmaster territory.RickC

Hate to write a negative review and glad others received better instruments than i did. I purchased via SDOTD and the guitar received today 5/13/2021 was bad and returned. Had really great expectations based on reviews. This is aimed at G&L's qc dept. The guitar arrived with 1 inch scratch in the back on the lower horn, dimples in the finish, scratches on the belly cut, areas that were dull from not buffing to a high polish, dents on back of the neck that could be felt and frets that felt like playing strings over sandpaper. Returned back same day. No damage to shipping boxes and purchased new just extremely poor qc. I wasnt expecting this to play like a +1k guitar but this feels like a Rogue guitar. Needs alot of work and setup. No comparison to Squier's in the same price range.B

Drawn to it by its sheer unconventionalism, the Fallout Tribute is a very decent, different guitar. However, I had very bad luck with the thing, so I'm obviously a little biased. Straight up- those tone controls feel incredibly cheap and loose. As well, I found construction to suffer more than a Squire. The strap button on the bottom looks like someone whacked it with a hammer, so I unscrewed it to find that it was merely drilled…very crooked. Not to mention a few finish issues! This guitar, sadly, wasn't made with the highest amount of TLC. Pickups-wise, this guitar is pretty solid. The middle position has to be my favorite. While the spilttable humbucker mattered little to me, The humbucker itself is A-okay. This is my first time experiencing a P-90, and yes, it is quite powerful. When playing, however, realize you'll be very restricted getting the highest frets- the part of the guitar where the bolt-on is located is chunkier than Superchunk. All in all, I ended up returning it due to the manufacturer defects (it even had a tragically bent allen wrench…dear lord, what was going on?). While it at least looks cool, I didn't like it.Burp

There's a lot to love about the Tribute Fallout. Not least is the price, which made it easy for me to pull the trigger and order my first G&L. Right out of the box, I was struck by the solid construction, super-stable and well-made bridge, smooth tuners, comfy neck profile and nicely-rounded fret ends; all much better than I had expected for the "entry-level" price-tag. The sound doesn't disappoint either – this is a lively and resonant guitar that's loud and spanky acoustically and has a tight, focused tone when plugged-in. The humbucker in the bridge position is right on the money; strong and present and the coil-tap works great. I really don't care for the P-90 at the neck, which sounds kinda wooly and vague to my ears, but to be fair this is a matter of personal taste and playing style – for all I know it might be just right for subtle jazz parts or rootsy blues. Aside from the neck pickup, the only real negative comment I have is about the electronics, which are on the flimsy side. The knobs/pots and switch feel wobbly and loose and there may be some kind of grounding problem too. But perhaps these issues are to be expected at this price and would be easy/cheap things to fix.Ronson

Guitar came nicely set up by Andertons QC and almost in tune. Guitar quality seems perfect to me. Medium weight. Looks solid and certainly not flashy. Nice factory strings. Medium jumbo and 12" radius neck make it easy to play. Love the rather thick sound from the P90 and thinner one from the humbucker pickups. Excellent value. Recommended.Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.

I've owned a few G&L Tributes, so I knew what to expect quality wise. Cons: small rub place on the upper horn, easy to buff out. Frets were a little oxidized, took 15 minutes to polish them and oil the fretboard. Pros: Easy to tell these are USA pickups. Position 2 and 4 are very quacky but very usable. Bridge pickup is actually usable, not thin. Better finish than my MIM Fenders (I own several), better pickups. LOVE the vibrato. I'm not a big user of them, but this is a very nice floating design, ahead of even the 2 point Fender. Basically, with no threading of the arm. It just works. You get something nicer than a Mexico Fender for a lot less money. To compare, I have one of the MIM Strat HSS Player series (750 bones), and I like it, but this is still better. I gigged for years and would not hesitate to take this on stage at any bar or club.Pharmboy

I wanted to try a G&L as I had heard about their high quality, and they are used by one of my favorite guitarists. I've been gigging with a deluxe player's strat for 8 years, among several other guitars. I have played guitar for 40 years. What I notice about the tribute legacy right away is: excellent quality finish of the neck and body (black, with maple board, tortoise shell guard, white pickups/knobs), nicely trimmed medium jumbo frets, superior quality dual fulcrum tailpiece/bridge/vibrato (big improvement over the competing brand), master "PTB" treble and bass tone controls that can be used with all pickup settings and are actually useful in EQ'ing the sound of the guitar depending on the pickups selected, the amp and the song. I never used the tone controls on my strat, and always wished for one controlling the bridge pickup. Hooray! The pickups are a little brighter than the noiseless pups of the DPS and they produce high quality strat tones across the spectrum. They do well with a good amp and effects, in a band situation. The guitar is nicely resonant unplugged, no dead spots. It's well made. concerns: neck was bowed with excess relief. truss rod was loose, initially, but with proper careful adjustment, the neck relief was easily corrected with the supplied hardware. I changed the strings to those of my liking, 10-46, and adjusted the bridge saddles which were set too high. (Nice saddles!). String alignment was off a little. I found a fix for this on an online forum for G&L's. There was excessive crackling/static on touching the pickguard, while plugged in. I also found a fix for this on the online forum and was able to perform this myself by shielding the underside of the pickguard with aluminum tape. This worked well. I put straplocks on it, and obtained a quality gig bag for it, as it did not come with a case. So, I've had to do a bit of work to tune it up, but the outcome is a high quality/high value guitar that meets my standards, and is superior to the competition in its price range, for a better price!drjho7

I got this guitar a few weeks ago and I have not been able to put it down!! I upgraded from an Ibanez RG and I couldn't possibly be happier! I've been wanting a Strat style guitar for a long time now and I've always been a fan of G&L, it just took me a long time for some reason to make the jump. But I absolutely love it. I play it through a Marshall DSL15 and its the perfect match. Shoot, this guitar even made my 10 year old Marshall solid state sound absolutely amazing! The one and only thing I wish this amp had is a delay, but I'm planning on getting a Flashback delay anyways so its a non-issue. But I don't have a single complaint about this guitar. Its very reasonably priced for the amazing tones you get out of it, pair it with the right amp and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about because you definitely won't regret it!!!!BluesGuy90

Chose this G&L against the relative Fender as it played and felt better. Fingerboard and bridge were vast improvement over the Fender. I wish I'd chosen the showroom model as the my boxed version needs a set-up.Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.

I bought this guitar on a whim as a cheap and cheerful alternative to more expensive Fender Telecasters. I own a G&L tribute SB-2 bass which I'm very happy with, and the G&L MFD pickups used in the Asat Special were particularly appealing as I'd never owned a guitar with them in before. The guitar itself is made in Indonesia, however it is well built with good quality components (I believe the electronics are the same used in American G&Ls). One thing it was lacking was a good setup – the nut was very high and when I bought it the previous owner had it set up for slide. I had to shim the neck to attain an agreeable action however with the high nut I was unable to get it to play well without string buzz and choking – I initially attributed this to a vintage fingerboard radius however my tech measured it and found it to be a thoroughly modern 12". This made my day as I'd been searching for a Fender with this radius to no avail – I have a Gretsch Corvette with a 12" board and it not only feels great, but I've never had issues with strings fretting out when bending high up the neck. After a professional setup by local guitar wizard Eltham Jones (no fretwork was required but the nut needed dressing, alongside a few tweaks to neck relief and action) the guitar plays very well with great sustain provided by the solid mass of the G&L bridge. There is no choking out when bending strings and the neck itself it very comfortable, with a fairly shallow profile. It has something of a gloss finish on the back which I may try and mattify at some point with wire wool, however it's not sticky and feels fast. The pickups are wonderful – I've backed them off nearly as far as they will go from the strings and then brought the bridge pickup up just enough to balance with the neck pickup. The output even down low is very good and they seem to capture a wide frequency range – this is the first guitar I've owned where using the tone control is not only required, but is rewarding – the tone pot itself in conjunction with these wide range pickups seems to provide a very musical roll off of treble without resulting in any kind of mud/muffled tone when fully rolled off. I'm finding the sweet spot for general playing to be about 30% roll off, where normally I would leave the tone pot entirely alone (on some guitars I remove it completely!). Tonewise, online I have seen comparisions between these pickups and those found in the Jazzmaster. I don't know if there is any truth in this but with the placement of the pickups and general differences between the two guitars, I don't findthem to be tonally similar, to my ears at least. The G&L pickups are very clear, powerful and articulate, with more upper midrange presence than a Jazzmaster (again, IMO). They respond very well to rolling off the volume as well as the tone knob to clean up the sound – even at low volumes they remain clear and full sounding. Despite an abundance of treble on tap the high end is less "icepick" than Fender Strats I've played and less "twangy" than your average Tele. It's got character of it's own which is nice to have in what is ostensibly a Telecaster. I've also discovered a slightly bizarre wiring quirk where if both pickups are on and the tone is entirely rolled off, it sounds as if the guitar has switched out of phase – it sends distortion boxes absolutely wild, and i've never quite heard a sound like it from a guitar. I wonder if this might be a mod from a previous owner or if they all do this – whatever the case, I love it, it seems to flatter my playing and helps me pretend i'm Frank Zappa. Overall, I'd absolutely recommend a G&L Tribute Asat Special to anyone looking for a Telecaster that isn't a Telecaster, on the basis that the parts are good, particularly the wonderful pickups, but it'll probably need a good setup by your local luthier of choice to get the best out of it.ebolamonkey11

I love this ASAT Special. Mahogany body, mape neck with rosewood fingerboard. Picture a Tele that sounds giant and is much more versatile. It's not the US model, but the feel is comfortable and the electronics and hardware are much better than similarly priced guitars. I can actually get a useable range of tones with the controls. They don't have to be wide open to sound good. The only thing that irked me was the pick guard cut around the control plate looks like a kindergartener did it. This wasn't listed as B Stock, so I'm not sure how it passed QA. I'm playing it, not staring at it, so I won't send it back, but I expected a new guitar to look 100%. Would rate looks excellent if not for that.Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.

I picked up the Irish Ale model on the stupid deal of the day last Thanksgiving. After getting it and seeing the quality, I'd have gladly twice as much. It's just beautiful, solid, and plays very nice. The neck humbucker is warm and rich. The bridge HB screams on leads when overdriven. When you tap them for single coil, you can get good crisp sparkly tones too, though the volume drop naturally is noticeable. I just have a pedal boost setting for playing it in single coil mode that brings the volume up to the HB level. The guitar intonated exceptionally well right out of the box and playability is top notch. It has the best bridge design I have ever seen or played on a solid bridge guitar. They hit a home-run on that. It's a great upgrade platform too, since the body, neck and bridge are made so well. I'd put the stock Gagon designed pickups right on par with Gibson OEM humbuckers, but they are not as good as Lollar's or Fralin's. The tuning machine heads are very usable, but an upgrade to Schallers, Grovers, or Gotohs makes sense if you play a lot. It does not have a bone nut, but the tone and intonation on mine is so good, I'll probably just leave the stock nut in.Birddog

It's rare to find low-cost gear that meets high-level expectations, but this guitar has thus far done just that. I purchased this thinking I would almost certainly have to put a fair amount of work and parts into it just to make it playable; off the bat, I assumed the pots and wiring would have to be replaced, the bridge would likely be of poor quality, the setup would be unusable, and the tuners/nut would have problems. For the vast majority of these, the opposite has been true. The pots and electronics (switch, jack) are incredibly solid, quiet, and smooth. The bridge is solid, no rattles, and intonates very close to perfect. The setup out of the box was dead on; shocking, for a guitar made overseas and at this price range. The one area where the jury is still out is the tuners and nut. There are a few occasional tuning stability issues, especially on the higher strings. This is likely due to a bad nut, so I've ordered a Tusq replacement to see if that helps. The tuners also seem to have a little more throw than I'm used to, and aren't as precise as I'd like. That said, they're still fine and I'm not going to hesitate to gig with this guitar. The look of the guitar in person is, in my opinion, nicer than what you see here. I think it's a beautiful guitar, if not a little plain. The neck is a glossy yellow, which some folks might not like, but I don't care what it looks like. The profile is a bit chunkier than the previous Telecasters I've owned; most comparable to the Baja series, though a bit smaller than their V-shaped cuts. Just a solid feeling neck. Lastly, the sound. This is where this guitar shines. These are some of the best vintage-sounding P90's I've used, and I've played more than I care to remember, many from expensive boutique winders that we're all familiar with. This is not a guitar for clean, crystal clear tones. It's overdriving my amps right away, in a very good way. All in all, a great axe at a surprisingly low cost. G&L did right.Good Eye, Brian

The G&L Tribute ASAT Deluxe Carved Top in Trans Black is brilliant, in looks and how it plays and sounds, with the brilliant single / double coil switching adding to the sound(s). One point I'll make is that this guitar is not just plain black, but as the wood grain shows; which I think makes look better; more distinct.Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.

Got the tobacco finish and it looks great. Great hardware, I really like both pickups – good 'honk' from the bridge, and very warm tones from the neck. I love the middle position – nasal clean – also. This guitar is all about "clean" sounds, it just doesn't do distortion well. Clean rock, country, surf, R&B, Chicago blues, Stones – sounds top notch, especially for the finger-picker. I had to set it up to a bit – mild neck adjustment, lowered the strings and intonated. Very easy set up. The hardward is very nice. The tuners are solid, and I love the "ash tray" string-through bridge. It is hard to see from the pic, but it is the same "side walled" bridge used on the US ASAT. And again, I really like the pickups for clean playing – including chick'n pick'n. My only complaint is the metal plate has a scratch below the tone knob. However, everything else looks so good – the swamp ash with the tobacco finish looks outstanding – I simply was not willing to send it back. Also, the pick guard is sort of boring so I may replace it some day. I might also upgrade the P/U switch because I see the US version uses a better switch. I bought it when they were running a special on purchases four ninetynine or more, so I feel I got a very good deal on a very nice guitar. I give it four stars because of the scratch and the slightly lower-grade pick guard and PU switch. Also, it doesn't come with a case or even a gig bag. Bottom line: If you want a nice Tele but don't want to spend a grand+, go for it.Mr. Highpants

A lot of times I do not know how seriously to take some reviews because players are at different levels of expertise, commitment, musical challenges, talent and experience. A newbie may think that a certain low-end guitar is amazing whereas the experienced pro will be more critical. That being said, I am not a newbie. I have been playing, practicing, recording, teaching, etc for over 40 years and have owned all of the big name guitars. I play jazz, old blues, (Fats Waller, Gershwin, St Louis & Delta types), and classical music, all on my electrics. I have recently purchased the G&L Tribute ASAT Classic T-style, Candy Red and have added it to my collection. I had been thinking Am Std Tele and friends of mine who are pure Tele players recommended the G&L ASAT. Here is my take on this instrument. 1. Construction — as good as my Am Std Strat, my other Tele and Les Paul. 2. Electronics — Excellent. The electronics "feel" solid. The pots, cable jack and pups are above average in stability and definition of tone. 3. Tone — The tonal qualities are as good as any of my American Fenders and not only better than my LP, but more tonal variation. 3. Playability — Exceeded all of my expectations. Plays as well as all of my expensive, ( >USD 1000.00) guitars. 4. Looks — I bought it because it is red, I like red. 5. Upon arrival — Some people expect their guitars to arrive after 3-4 days brutal freight, temperature changes on wood and strings that are not broken in and play like it just came back from the luthier. This is very unrealistic. These are instruments mad from natural product, not telephones. I take all of my new guitars straight to my luthier for a complete going over and assessment. I have never heard of a guitar arriving in perfect condition. Therefore, I can say that this instrument arrived on time and in as good of condition as all other guitars that I have ordered over the Internet or purchased off the rack.GM

I just took delivery of one of these, in Butterscotch, and I have to say I love it! I consider any tele to be a niche guitar and this is no exception. It is built and set up to produce a specific sound. Still, the tone knob does in fact produce a range of alternative sound (darker, naturally)which is more than I can say of some of my other guitars. More importantly, the pickups are absolutely fantastic, at least when played through my Blues Jr. III. I was worried, some say the factory pups are too hot for a tele, that the guitar as equipped is soul less. Not to me me, these things ring out more clearly, with more punch than anything else I own. They respond well to attack, and do so consistently across the range. We'll have to see how they break in but at this point they are great, better than my Texas Specials and my ProBuckers. In addition, like the tone knob, the pup selector switch produces a nice array of very nicely balanced sound. Not startling, not unrelated but a nice progression. As for fit and finish, this Indonesian guitar shows well. That said, it is, to me, a small step down from my MIM Strat and my Korean guitars. In fact, it is that same small step down from my Indonesian Epi Les Paul Standard Pro. Small things, e.g., an itty bitty tiny tiny bit of exposed neck glue and the not perfectly glossed bottom edge grain of the maple fret board, the plastic knob on the pup selector. Small things that no one but one of us will ever notice. Of course, this cost a couple of hundred less than the Epi. Mine came out of the box set up and ready to play. YMMV. The Butterscotch photographs a bit brighter and more consistent than it really is, at least mine is a bit more 'natural' than I expected. In addition, the grain shows a soft maple painted looking 'gray' instead of a more traditional reddish brown stained grain. I do a lot of woodworking and know maple quite well. This guitar carries an excellent treatment of a classic maple look, but you have to like maple and the grays they can produce, and like it buried under a mile of soft gloss. I like, again, YMMV. Hope this helps.myatuck

The knobs/pots and switch feel wobbly and loose and there may be some kind of grounding problem too. But perhaps these issues are to be expected at this price and would be easy/cheap things to fix.Ronson

Guitar came nicely set up by Andertons QC and almost in tune. Guitar quality seems perfect to me. Medium weight. Looks solid and certainly not flashy. Nice factory strings. Medium jumbo and 12" radius neck make it easy to play. Love the rather thick sound from the P90 and thinner one from the humbucker pickups. Excellent value. Recommended.Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.

All positive. Was set up properly and almost in tune when received. Fit and finish on my G&L Tribute Lagacy is great. Playability and tone is absolutely fantastic!!jmacjerry

The guitar has an incredible value for money. The microphones sound great in my opinion. Though some people have changed the middle and bridge pickups I'm pleased with the sound so far. As far as looks goes it looks great! The vintage finishing on the neck is a bit too much and is almost looking a bit yellow. The pickguard looks great but there are some sharp edges along the bridge and pickup selector. Otherwise it looks great! It only has one issue which is that it's running isn't perfect, it's great for the price but you might need to change the tuners. There is some moderate buzzing on the frets which means that you can't really use it with a super low action. I was able to achieve less buzzing on my squier bullet strat for reference. All and all, it's a great vintage style start with some modern tweaks. I think it suits someone that aims for s vintage feel but likes some of the features found in modern guitars.Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.

Guitar sounds great and build quality as good if not better than any other, this is the second G&L I have bought from andertons and have a third on orderReviewed by Andertons Music Co.

Most import guitar makers save money by using cheap pot metal and pick ups. However, the G&L Tribute series instruments use the made in USA pickups and cast bridges. The body and neck are flawless and the quality is equal to their US counterparts if not better. I own an S500 as well as an ASAT Deluxe and am extremely happy with both. Get these while you can at these prices. Thanks G&L.sh-guitarworks

Great history,great playability,was inspired to buy having seen Lee at the G and L factory looking thru’ the old drawings made by Leo Fender for the -prototypes of this guitar,it is a fine instrumentReviewed by Andertons Music Co.

I received my bass and the first thing that struck me was the color. I ordered the Tangerine Metallic because it looked good in the photos. However, the actual color is much brighter, lighter and looks like metal flake rather than metallic. Fit and finish are great, it sounds good and plays nice, but I’m debating on whether to return it and either get a different color or a different bass.Ranger Sarge

This was my first bass purchase in a long time, and I wasn’t sure about it. After playing it the first time, all doubt was removed. Very versatile for such a simple instrument, which is exactly what I was looking for. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!Steven

Jerry Cantrell is my idol. Rock and Roll runs through this guys veins. Not just a phenomenal guitar player, but a true inspirational musician thru and thru with huge impact on the direction of Rock and Metal. Bought a used Black Tribute Rampage from Guitar Center that was made in China. It is a very well built and finely crafted guitar. So I thought I would get an Ivory one from Musicians Friend. It does not bother me that it is more yellow than ivory, but the bolt on neck is crooked and not in alignment. The only thing that makes it playable is the high adjustability of the Kahler Tremolo. So I set the string spacing so the strings are all justified toward the low E string so the high E stays on the fretboard. Pretty disappointing build quality from Indonesia. Never know what your gonna get from anywhere anymore. Just return it until you get a good one and you will be pleased!Jerry Wannabe

After a 3 month wait for delivery, I finally received my G&L Jerry Cantrell Rampage today 5-24-17. I was a bit wary at first, because the outer delivery box was crushed on one side. Upon opening, I noticed the inner box which held the guitar was completely sealed and showed no signs of any damage, However, there was no packing materials to keep the inner box from moving around in the outer box, the guitar itself was wrapped only in a foam type bag covering secured with a single rubber band, and supported in it's box by a piece of bubble wrap, another piece of foam, Styrofoam neck support, and some cardboard. Thankfully the guitar was not damaged. However, it is not playable yet because it needs to be set up and adjusted, even though a sticker on the back cavity plate says it was set up at G&L in Fullerton, California on 5-9-17. I love the guitar, don't get me wrong, but I expected the instrument to have a bit more protection, especially they way things get bounced around during shipping. It did not come with a case or a gig bag, just the guitar in 2 cardboard boxes and some foam wrapping. Be prepared when ordering this one, make sure it's not damaged when you receive it, and get ready to set it up and adjust it yourself before you're able to play it. I give the guitar 5 stars, but the hassle of not being able to play it out of box only gets 3 stars…..Thank God it wasn't damaged. G&L might want to rethink their overseas vendors who actually put these things together and either teach them proper guitar set ups, or find a better vendor.Rampage_Lover

Bought this guitar for a big Alice in Chains show my bands playing for, when it first arrived I couldn't be happier. Usually buying a guitar off the shelf, the action and truss rod need to be adjusted. But when I first picked this guitar up, the action was spot on as if a luthier had just worked on it, the neck was straighter than board and it plays like a charm. Very comfortable guitar. The Kahler Tremelo does its job for the most part. the only problem is it has about a millimeter or two of sway room, where by just barely touching the tremelo arm up, it'll throw the tune sharp. But it can all be upgraded and if you pay attention to where the tremelo arm is, you'll never have it out of tune. Dive bombs are fun on this guitar. Amazing build, good electronics, very happy with it.YoungCantrell

Ordered the Olympic White with Ebony fret board for the aesthetics. Guitar came in with some brown fret board, it was nice but not the chosen ebony fret board the photograph showed. That was the reason for ordering this guitar. Musician's Friend ultimately accepted it as a return but not before two reps gave me a real hard time, they were rather rude about the whole thing. Guitar was pictured looking whiter than it was, and arrived with no tremolo bar. MF helped in the end but Customer service needs a bit of sprucing up. This is a good guitar, really good. Make sure to research the color schemes thoroughly.The Wolf

Got a great deal on a G & L Legacy which is a tremendous guitar. It arrived within 48 hours and was fully set up. In fact it was perfectly in tune despite being in transit! Great service, thanks guy's!Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.

Only had the guitar about 2 weeks but so far so good, will need to adjust the action once it settles in some more – to be expected. My son’s guitar teacher seemed quite impressed too so so far I think we got a good buy 🙂Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.

This guitar is beutiful visually, confortable in hand, crafted beyond the price tag and above all sounds amasing. Surpassed my expectations in all fields. Definitely a keeper.Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.
