Location: Scotland | Are you talking about current models or older versions? The differences are a little more difficult to spot on the earlier examples as they both had 5-piece necks and the Legend was basically an upgraded Balladeer, so they appear quire similar. Essentially the differences were that the Legend used a higher grade top with different bracing (VT and later A on the Legend, X on the Balladeer) The Balladeer had an unbound ebony 'board with dot inlays, the Legend had a bound ebony 'board with dots & diamonds. Also the legend had gold tuners while the Balladeer had nylon-bodied chrome tuners.
The current Legend and Balladeer models are very
different. Some of the differences are; top-grade, fingerboard material, inlay pattern, rosette, neck-construction (2-piece v 5 piece) pickup & electronics, Finish, (satin v gloss)there's several others. |
