Thanks! It sounds and plays fantastic. The frets might need some work or replacing in a wee bit.cestlamort wrote: ↑Mon Nov 01, 2021 9:18 amaesthetically, that's late '80s in all the right ways (reminding me somewhat of a Rickenbacker 230 I used to have, but all better in all regards).
I'm sure it sounds and plays great, too. Congratulations on all fronts.

These are fantastic guitars. My all-time favorite G&L.
I rocked a yellow one just like this, but a year older, for many years. It had to go on the chopping block to fund a ‘68 tele I fell in love with.

I've been on the lookout for one for years. I fell in love with them at Black Market music in San Francisco, back around '99. Wish I'd bought the nearly identical one they had.
I reckon the '68 Tele was worth it.

It was/is, though perhaps only just!
One day I might like to have an older ASAT again

Black Market Music was super intimidating for this young(er) indie punk -- no price tags meant I always felt I was getting the "clueless shopper" negative discount. I got my first bass amp there for too much for a carpeted crate combo, but we still have the Musicmaster bass amp from there a few years later, which was $99 well spent.

Love that ASAT, I didn’t get into them til ~’97 or so but love the ASAT Special, among others (ASAT and others).
