Looks my Legacy will be here in 2-3 weeks.
I was just reading a post about Fender guitars... apparently the MIM bodies can be made of up to 7 pieces of wood! Anyone know how many pieces a US G&L is typically made of?
x-piece bodies?

Two. I don't recall seeing any photos of G&Ls with more than that.
You could say three if there's a maple top, and four if you include the neck

I have a USA ASAT Special that is 3 pieces of wood. It does not seem to suffer from this.

Re: x-piece bodies?
My recent ASAT special was a 2 piece. I think that is pretty much the standard nowadays. 3 Might be used for a solid finish, really a highly laminated body is no problem though (despite stigma).
Comparing a MIM budget guitar with a USA G&L (heck comparing a std USA fender it may as well be a budget guitar besides the G&L) is a silly comparison though.

Re: x-piece bodies?
This is a 3 piece body, click for closer look!
When I got it, I though 1 piece, but it's 3 pieces.
My other G&L guitars have all 2 piece bodies, they are put together exactly in the mid (except F100E). The Mahogany-Bodies (ASAT DeLuxe, F100) are one piece.
