I'm new around here, and looking to buy my first G&L.
I had my eye on a Tribute Legacy, but then I noticed the "Special Edition" versions in black and white, which are $150 cheaper. I can't seem to find much information on them though. As far as I can tell, they're identical aside from the fact that the bodies are basswood (instead of ash in the "standard" version), and they don't seem to use the CLF-100 pickups. All the descriptions I've seen say something like "G&L-designed single-coil Alnico V," but they don't say much more than that.
I was hoping folks here might have some more details. Does anyone know how they sound compared to the CLF-100 equipped "standard" Tribute Legacy? Is it worth spending the extra $150 for the real-deal pickups and ash body?
Thanks!

One more related question - do you happen to know if standard "strat" pickup covers fit over these or US-made CLF-100 pickups? If not, do you know where I could find cream/parchment colored pickup covers that would fit? Thanks again!
