Construction
The Legacy has a comfortable, easy to play “Medium C” neck profile and a spacey 12” fingerboard radius. This has more in common with contemporary Super Strats than it does with traditional models, making it more suited to playing leads and bends than on vintage radius fingerboards. The maple fingerboard also makes for a smooth, classy playing experience.
Electronics and Hardware
The Tribute Legacy comes loaded with three G&L CLF-100 Alnico V single-coil pickups, delivering a truly iconic vintage tone iconic vintage tone. These were inspired by original prints found in Leo Fender’s G&L lab and are the result of extensive studying and supreme pickup wirer craftsmanship from the '50s. All that hard work has paid off, as the Legacy produces a bright, versatile sound.
The Leo Fender-designed Passive Treble Bass system adds greater functionality and flexibility to the tone controls, allowing you to shape the bass and treble with excellent precision.
One of the significant innovations on the Legacy is the Leo Fender-designed Dual-Fulcrum vibrato bridge, which allows you to bend up or down with ease and greater tuning stability than its vintage counterparts.
