Okay- my official opinion after experiencing two 2023 serial stamped Legator made in Korea guitars is I do not recommend.
Quality of Legator guitars?

If anyone wants a straight scale 27" 7 string Legator G7 headless 2023 MIK, I'll sell it to ya for $375 + shipping. I lost the little washer for one of the tuners so I put a small lock washer on and it seems to work ok. And one of the saddle mounting screws is s little ate up but has plenty of grip if you wanted to replace it. I spent about $800 on it after shipping and I want it out of my house.

No joke, I had a bad dream the other night in which I bought a legator 7 string

Who's building the Korean made legators? WMI?
Headstock doesn't specify like an Ormsby does, but it does say Made in Korea and that's all. No idea. I usually assume WMI.

The resulting behavior of my experience working with the Legator Ghost was bothersome enough for my wife to buy me a Prestige because she felt so bad for me. Seriously.

Agree. The money comes from the same place so I guess technically I'm paying for it too, but it's the explicit permission and encouragement that counts.
It went something like this as I spent 45 minutes unsuccessfully and exasperatingly looking for a washer that flew off the ghost and transported itself to narnia: "when are you going to stop buying things you're unhappy with to try to save money? just go buy what you want. I'm tired of seeing you like this"
One kinda funny thing she said was "I bet that once you get what you want, that pile of cases over there will start shrinking".
My response as I thought of all y'all on SSO and laughed a bit inside was "oh yeah, definitely..."

I really thought about buying this guy when you had it up on Reverb a few days ago. How come you're getting rid of it?
In a nutshell: too many guitars in house.
Long answer: Wife bought me a Prestige and I have another Legator Ghost 7 which is multiscale that I find more interesting since its my only ms instrument. Don't need two legators ghosts basically. And it's got the issue of me losing a washer on the tuner that I noted and that one of the saddle screws is a little chewed up. Nothing that can't be fixed. Fretwork is just okay and if I was going to keep it I'd level them so I can get a lower action. Ain't worth my time. Might be worth someone else's time.
I put it back up on Reverb but I'd prefer to make a deal outside of Reverb and I'm open to offers.
I think there's only 2 or 3 spots with little high spots that only really affect the low strings so a spot level would probably be fine. I might do a leveling on it if it doesn't sell in a couple weeks but I have a backlog of repairs to do atm.
