Legacy production moved to Indonesia in 2007.

Very nice! $60 is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

I have a G&L Legacy Deluxe Hardtail with a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge. Made in USA.

Also, G&L sell the vibrato arm and the set screw with nylon insert sets on their website. I had to get an arm for my S-500.

Apparently '05 was the last year with the vibrato that was marked "Tribute". My '05 is like yours, and my '06 says "G&L".

$60 for a Legacy??? I'M JELLY!!!

I have two Korean made Tributes, an '05 S-500, and an '06 Legacy. Both of mine are the Blueburst color like yours, although the '06 Blueburst is more blue than burst. I swapped the tuners for GraphTech Ratio locking tuners. They're a direct swap. You don't have to use any of the adapter plates that come with them.

Just for shiggles, I've been thinking about adding the Gilmour mod, like the S-500 has, to the Legacy. That's the extra pickup selector switch.

Subbing so I don't miss the tone test.

Where can I find a similar guitar for $60

String buzz isn't a problem if you play rock. Just add a little more distortion, and no one will ever know. LOL

60 $ ???? You stole it than. I got mine...The exact same made in Korea for 350 Canadian dollars (with a case) and I thought I stole mine. these were going what ? 600 to 800 $...And in direct competition with MIMS fender. It is still a Leo Fender creation design BY Leo Fender mind you....
