Members DavidMgT Posted September 20, 2009 Members Share Posted September 20, 2009 Thanks David. One of my biggest regrets is having sold my S500. I have a Legacy and a Comanche and, at the time, I felt the S500 was too close to the Comanche in terms of tone. As a result I sold the S500. I did use the money to help pay for my ASAT Deluxe, which I love, but I miss that S500! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dimmypage Posted September 20, 2009 Members Share Posted September 20, 2009 I would try before you buy with G&L.The necks make me feel like like a first year player. I had a massive hard onfor a Legacy and tried a ton, but couldn'tplay for {censored} on any of 'em. I had that problem too,very little choice. Around here theres only one dealer and he seems to stock less each year:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members metallica_00 Posted September 20, 2009 Members Share Posted September 20, 2009 Previously they were doing them all by hand so each guitar had a bit different shape. Mines a nice moderately chunky C. Don't really see how one couldn't get along with it but neck shapes never bother my playing, they are what they are part of what makes each guitar unique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Edward Posted September 20, 2009 Members Share Posted September 20, 2009 Sorry but Fender is more Fender then G&L. Old Leo did too much second guessing of his original (read: genius) ideas. Guitar players, as a general rule, are very conservative in their intrumental preferences. Many, it seems, would rather have Leo's near sixty year old designs simply because they were the first, thus meaning they are diametrically opposed to what Leo was into, which was constant development and improvement. There will always be some, of course, who prefer the original designs simply due to what they are - myself, I'd much rather have a six point trem, or a three saddle bridge, and a 7 1/4" radius - and then there will be others for whom, had it been what Leo specified in 54, would only deign to touch a guitar with a plywood body.

Members JMR Posted September 20, 2009 Members Share Posted September 20, 2009 I'd take a G and L over a fender, as long as we're talking teles and strats. only fenders I like are the offsets though, I'm a gibson-style guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
