So i have really gone full circle.
I was so excited by the launch of the Legacy series from Faith, it felt like forever until they were finally released. When i tried them - for some reason, i wasn't moved. They were great guitars - however, i think i had built up the expectation to unreasonable levels.
Anyway, over 18 months has passed and i was getting the itch for a new guitar. I was completely open minded, but thought i was either going to go for something like an Atkin or go for something quirky and cheap like a lower end Faith or equivalent. In the store they had two Legacy Earth guitars and i don't know why, i asked to try one. I have to say i was totally impressed, it really felt good. The guy in shop - said, you should try the other one it's much better.... I asked why and they said it was a special order without a pick up and they had fitted an LR Baggs Anthem. So i gave it a go and WOW. I was totally blown away. It sounded amazing plugged in and unplugged. Surprisingly this is my first Spruce/Mahogany guitar. Anyway - i had to have it. It was priced the same as the standard model, i tried to get a deal and was told that they just couldn't reduce the price due to the LR Baggs they added. They could give me £200 off the other one..... So i spent two weeks thinking about before i decided i had to get it. I have been travelling for work so have it reserved with a deposit... i collect next week.... can't wait
