Sound & Tone
Three CLF-100 Alnico 5 single-coils in an alder body with a hard rock maple neck and fingerboard produce bright, bell-like clarity with firm low-end definition and a snappy attack, and the reverse-wound middle pickup quiets the in-between positions for glassy, hum-free rhythm tones. The treble and bass controls extend the usual single-coil palette, letting you roll off brittleness for warmer lead work or add cut for chiming clean parts. It's a natural fit for blues, funk, country, pop and classic rock, with the Dual Fulcrum vibrato on hand for shimmer and expressive pitch bends.
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.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 is the neck profile and string spacing on this guitar?
The G&L Modern Classic neck features a 1 11/16" nut width, 1 5/8" string spacing, 9.5" radius, and measures .820" deep at the first fret and .870" at the 12th fret. This profile offers a comfortable, modern-refined feel while remaining familiar to players accustomed to vintage Stratocaster designs.
How does the reverse-wound middle pickup help reduce hum?
The reverse-wound middle pickup achieves hum cancellation when combined with the neck or bridge pickup in the 2 and 4 positions of the 5-way selector. This design maintains articulate, balanced tone while minimizing the 60-cycle hum typical of single-coil guitars in noisy environments.
What tone characteristics should I expect from the three CLF-100 Alnico 5 pickups?
The Fullerton-made CLF-100 pickups deliver bell-like clarity, minimal hum, and harmonic complexity across all selector positions. They are engineered to generate articulate single-coil character suitable for rock, blues, pop, and indie playing styles.
Is this guitar suitable for metal or heavy styles?
This guitar is optimized for rock, blues, pop, and indie playing and is not designed for metal or djent applications. The single-coil tone character and Dual Fulcrum vibrato are voiced for clarity and harmonic nuance rather than the high-gain saturation and tuning stability required in heavier styles.
What is included with this Build to Order guitar?
The G&L USA Legacy SSS includes a G&L Deluxe Gig Bag. The guitar is made in the USA with hard rock maple neck and fingerboard, alder body in Turquoise finish, and G&L Standard tuning machines and bridge hardware.
