It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. This is my 2024 G&L Legacy, a build to order model brokered by Upfront Guitars in Bellingham, MA. I ordered in July and it arrived in December. During an intense period of grief after my father died in June, and working through a changed relationship with my mom and sister, I found escape by dreaming of a new #guitar. I spent hours looking over the specs and options, emailing Gordon at UpFront to ask questions. 1/
I didn’t need a new guitar - already had three great axes, one of them a G&L Doheny. But grief is a powerful thing and the urge to buy something new and create something with it was like a fist in my back, a hoped for release from the intensity, responsibility and demands of my life, especially at this time. I wanted something entirely on my terms. So it was time for a Strat style guitar with classic voiced Alnico pickups and a sturdy vibrato. 2/
