just got my first g&L

Hey everybody, just picked up my first G&L. It's a Legacy Tribute, black w/ a pearl pickguard. It's got a GFS Lil Killer p'up in the bridge. I got it used but it looks brand new. It joins my Ibanez RG & Dean V.

Serial # is 070942065. Can someone tell me when it was made?

Thanks,

Joe

Congratulations!

All of the G&L Tributes have the build year and month encoded in the serial number.
See Serial number significance in our G&L Knowledgebase, General G&L Questions sub-forum.

Your's was built in September of 2007.

When you get a chance, please add it to our G&L Registry.

Oh, I almost forgot, there are some here who require photo proof - otherwise it does not exist.
Check the guitarsbyleo.com History and G&LDP Guidelines as there is a section on posting photos.

Hope this helps.

Hey Joe,

Welcome to the club, post pics, the black with pearl guard sounds sweet.

Rumor is black guitars sound better, whatcha think?

Keep poking round here tons of G&L info to be shared.

Thanks for the info. Here are a few pics. I was looking for a cheap strat knock-off just to take to my lessons, and found this for sale on the Dean forums. I am very impressed with the quality, playability, and sound of this guitar.

It's hard to believe it's 3+ years old. There are a few minor scratches but that's it.

That looks like a great axe!

I bought my Legacy from Music-Go-Round online in 2008 and it looked like it had just come out of the box...hardly any signs of use. When I took the neck off to check the build date it showed March 1998! In no way did it look like a 10-yr old instrument! It is wonderful to find instruments like that...especially in contrast to the '03 Les Paul I bought in 2007 which looked like it was 10-yrs old! Fortunately it cleaned up nicely with a little effort!

I hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of that Legacy!
