G&L USA Legacy SSS Build to Order Guitar in Turquoise
The G&L USA Legacy SSS delivers articulate single-coil character with the ergonomic refinement required for long recording and rehearsal sessions. At 7.85 lbs, this instrument balances comfortably across the body during extended takes, and the G&L Modern Classic neck profile — with its 1 11/16" nut width and .820" depth at the first fret — combines familiar vintage-style proportions with modern playability standards. The hard rock maple neck paired with satin vintage tint finish resists fingerprints and maintains consistent feel during intensive studio work.
Playability & Recording Performance
The G&L Modern Classic neck measures 9.5" radius with 1 5/8" string spacing, providing a stable platform for tracking both rhythm parts and lead lines with precision. The hard rock maple fingerboard offers inherent stability and responsiveness across tracking sessions, while the G&L Standard tuners and bridge hardware maintain the intonation consistency critical for punch-in editing and layered tracking work.
Tone & Electronics for Studio Versatility
Three Fullerton-made G&L CLF-100 Alnico 5 single-coil pickups — including a reverse-wound middle pickup — capture clear, bell-like character with minimal hum and rich harmonic definition across all pickup selector positions. The onboard 5-position pickup selector, volume, treble, and bass controls enable real-time tonal shaping during recording and arrangement work, while the G&L Dual Fulcrum vibrato provides smooth pitch modulation with reliable tuning stability across multiple takes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile does this guitar have, and how does it compare to vintage Stratocasters?
The G&L Modern Classic neck profile features a 1 11/16" nut width, 9.5" radius, and .820" depth at the first fret—familiar to vintage-style players but with modern ergonomic refinement. The hard rock maple fingerboard and satin vintage tint finish provide stability and a smooth, fingerprint-resistant feel during long playing sessions.
What pickup configuration does this guitar have, and why is the reverse-wound middle pickup important?
The Legacy SSS has three Fullerton-made G&L CLF-100 Alnico 5 single-coil pickups, with the middle pickup reverse-wound to cancel hum when combined with the neck or bridge pickup in the 5-position selector. This design delivers clear, bell-like tones with excellent harmonic complexity while minimizing the 60-cycle hum typical of single-coil guitars.
What tonal controls are available, and how much shaping can I do?
The guitar includes a 5-position pickup selector, volume control, and separate treble and bass controls for precise tonal shaping without overwhelming complexity. These controls let you dial in articulate high-end clarity or warm, smooth lows depending on your playing style and genre.
Is this guitar suitable for metal or djent styles?
No—this guitar is optimized for rock, blues, indie, and pop and is not recommended for metal or djent, which typically require higher-output pickups and different tonal characteristics than single-coil architecture provides.
What is included with this guitar?
The G&L USA Legacy SSS ships with a G&L Deluxe Gig Bag. The guitar is built to order in Turquoise with USA-made Fullerton craftsmanship and includes G&L Standard tuners and Dual Fulcrum vibrato bridge for reliable tuning stability.
