Placed my order!

[Muleya]

I just got back from placing my order for a new Legacy HB with my local dealer! Nothing too fancy, but with just a few upgrades. Here are the specs:

Legacy HB in cherry burst over Swamp Ash
Maple fingerboard
Graphtech Nut
Locking Tuning Machines
Pearloid pickguard
All other features standard

I was hoping to get the MFD pickups in the middle and neck, but was told that wasn't an option on the Legacy models, but that's no biggie.

They were told 6-7 weeks, though another dealer I checked with told me 9-11 weeks. So I'm hoping by late January...though I'm not in a big hurry...I've got other guitars I can play in the meantime!

My build in august too about 7 weeks and a day, GL to yours (I was quoted 13 weeks by my dealer at the time).

Congratulations, Muleya. Mine took around 9 weeks, that's including the shipping time to Australia. I remember reading somewhere that someone waited 16 weeks at one point. I imagine you'll be able to pick up (pun intended) a couple of MFD pickups in the marketplace or ebay if you need to.

I've already waited almost 18 weeks, so there is no telling. Cherry burst is sweet!

Wow,good luck with yours, I have a very closely specked guitar on order. I placed my order on 10-17-10, and I was told around 11 weeks. Here are my specks.

I guess now we play the waiting game, but all good things are worth the wait.

Hey, that's kind of cool...they are pretty similar! I saw in another thread you were weighing that against an Invader. I thought briefly about an Invader, but I've never had a double-locking tremelo, and not sure I want to go there. With locking tuners and a Graphtech nut, I should be fine for the way I use the tremelo bar. Also, I wanted an SSH configuration. I'm actually thinking 6-7 weeks was optimistic. I had checked with a dealer about an hour away and he had told me 9-11 weeks...I'm thinking that's probably more realistic.

M,
We are on the same wave length. I do not think I wold like the Floyd Rose Trem's, though I have never used them. I am not a dive bomber on the trem either, and I usually go for long periods of not even having the trem bar inserted.

Yes, if you want to order a new G&L. Check the G&L website.
There you will find a US Dealers link and Distributors (for international customers) link on the left hand side.

Hope this helps.
