2008 G&L Legacy Special – Upgraded Pickups + Roland Guitar Synth Ready
For sale is a beautifully versatile 2008 G&L Legacy Special with serious tonal upgrades and synth capability built in. This is not a stock “wall hanger” Strat-style guitar — it’s a player’s instrument designed for someone who values tone, flexibility, and creative range.
Highlights
- 2008 G&L Legacy Special
- Deep C-shaped neck with a substantial, comfortable feel
- Custom hand-wound pickups by Dan Nace
- Roland GR-20 guitar synth board installed
- Exceptionally wide tonal palette
- Smooth modern playability with classic feel
- Perfect for studio work, fusion, ambient, progressive, jazz, experimental, or live performance setups
The deep C neck feels fantastic in the hand — substantial without being bulky. It has that confident, broken-in feel many players look for, especially if you prefer a neck with a little more grip and presence instead of the ultra-thin modern profiles.
The Dan Nace pickups give this guitar a richer, more articulate voice than the standard setup — clear highs, strong note separation, and dynamic response without sounding sterile. It can move from glassy cleans to thick lead tones easily.
The Roland GR-20 synth system opens an entirely different world. Trigger synth pads, strings, textures, leads, and layered sounds directly from the guitar. Great for composers, looping artists, ambient players, soundtrack work, or anyone who likes pushing beyond traditional guitar tones.
This guitar has been played and appreciated by a serious musician, not collected and forgotten in a closet. It’s expressive, inspiring, and capable of things most guitars simply are not.
If you know G&L, you already know: Leo Fender arguably perfected many of his original ideas after Fender. These guitars are incredibly well-built and still somewhat undervalued compared to what they deliver.
Ideal For
- Players wanting Strat-style ergonomics with more tonal depth
- Guitarists exploring synth integration
- Recording musicians
- Ambient / progressive / fusion players
- Creative live performers
