Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | I just ordered a Legend LX from Al. While browsing his website, I found the exact guitar that I've been thinking about getting for about a month so I decided to go for it. I'm looking forward to geting the new addition to the family. Hopefully I can use it on my gig this weekend! |

Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | I'm probably going to keep both of my Martins, but I don't think that I will be using them live as much. I'll probably use the two Legends for gigs, since that's what they're built for.
I may have the LX tomorrow, so maybe I'll even use it out tomorrow night. |

BTW. I thought that you were at the Thirsty Moose on Friday (according to your website). |

It is a Legend LX in the burgundy finish. It's a demo that Al had with a small ding in it. It was too good of a deal to pass up. I don't worry too much about dings because I use all of my guitars out, so they all get some dings sooner or later.

I bought my LX 1777 Burgandy back in Feb. This was before all the LX hoopla. I actually ordered this model because of the color and mid-depth bowl. No knowledge of what the hell LX meant. Wow, did I hit pay dirt with this beauty. I play this guitar more than ever. One thing I would recommend though, and it may be a matter of taste, I put new Elixir nanos on it and it beamed.
Good luck with it.

Location: SoCal | If anyone hasn't seen the transparent burgundy finish - check it out. Unique, unlike a lot of the colored finishes, you see the grain. I got a 1777 LX from Al with the transparent burgundy finish for one of my facilitators - he's buying it, just "carrying paper" at no interest for him for a couple of months. Of course, I played it for a couple of hours before I called to tell him it had arrived. :D Good thing since once he knew it was here, he came right over. |

I resemble that.
Al, the W597 T is the "bomb" with the 18 yr. old.
I'm glad I pulled the trigger. I guess it's going off to school in Sept. Not enough talk about that guitar. The textured top... Wow.
As for the LX... The 1778LX kicks the ass of the other 3 (IMHO)

Location: Vernon, CT | The Legend LX is a fantastic guitar and is equal to or better than my Martin. I too got the burgundy version last month and it plays excellent. I also was considering getting the Custom Legend USA model as it is an excellent guitar and I love the patriotic paint scheme. It would be great for playing out and I have done some military gigs. However, when I contacted the factory and they gave me an MSRP of $3,299 (and even with a dealer discount) it's outta my price range. Go Legend LX! Play on!

Location: SoCal | I'm glad to hear all the good reviews for the LX's. I'm still going to wait for the deep bowl. I want a new guitar with all that comes with it, but with the sound of my 68 Deluxe Balladeer (which Goober described as a mid 50's D-18 -- but I believe it's better because of the clarity). |

Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | Well. my LX just arrived and it is one beautiful guitar. I tried it out a little (as much as I can at work) and the action is perfect. I noticed the weight difference right away compared to my other O's. I have yet to find the ding in the top so it must be pretty minor. I can't wait to dig in to this guitar! Thank you AL! |
