Permalink G&L Legacy vs Doheny

New Topic
Page 1 of 1

Hi guys,

I've got a bunch of guitars, but none with a trem bar. I'm now looking at the Legacy or the Doheny (the Tribute models). Which one would you prefer for modern surf with a little bit of dirt, not squeaky clean? I might be replacing the pickups, should I feel the need.

Thanks!

I'd go Doheny in that situation. Cool guitars!!

IMO, the Doheny is one beautiful design. I’m also fascinated by the Comanche, which has a similar body shape to a Legacy, but different pickups and switching options.

I have no experience with Dohney, but Legacy moved aside all of my Fender strats for some period. It was my friend’s guitar, but I still think of getting one. Exactly what you’ve described, modern, tight tone, great with overdrive, but still stratish.

Splendid, thanks for all the input!

Casually browsing Doheny tribute models for sale online I noticed several with the fretboard not properly centered under the strings. On a couple of guitars the high e-string was at the edge of the fretboard at the highest frets, and on one guitar the low e-string was at the fretboard edge.
