Why Buy This Legacy? Quite honestly, this is THE BEST sounding and playing Strat or Strat-style guitar I've ever personally played. Unlike standard Strats, the 2001 USA Legacy features the PTB system, which is a game-changer for gigging guitarists—you can thin out the low end for funky rhythms or keep it wide open for Texas blues.The Dual-Fulcrum tremolo is arguably the best non-locking vibrato ever designed, staying in tune even under heavy use.
