Members kayd_mon Posted June 24, 2013 Members Share Posted June 24, 2013 G&L in this case, because I would prefer the natural finish, even though the wine red is nice. The G&L has a better whammy, too, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Joby1knobi Posted June 24, 2013 Members Share Posted June 24, 2013 I'd go with the G&L too. Always prefered their flatter neck radius; but it all comes down to which YOU like best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Danhedonia Posted June 24, 2013 Members Share Posted June 24, 2013 Can you plug them in and play?If not, then I'd figure out why each are on sale, and go for the one that seems less likely to have been dumped for badness, but more for money.

Members wankdeplank Posted June 25, 2013 Members Share Posted June 25, 2013 Hard to beat a good Fender but easy to beat a bad one. I personally would play each one unplugged and see how notes up the fretboard ring out on bends, hammers and slides. I prefer the MIMs without the butcherblock bodies -better resonance in my opinion. Truthfully, I've never played a G&L though I've heard they're very nice. So, if I'm not mistaken the Legacy is the US model - that would carry some weight for me. I personally don't care for an extremely flat radius though, so that woulod be a factor as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
