Hi from Aussie

Hi my names Tony and i am from Melbourne Australia
i have been playing since about 1966 and my main guitar for the last 16yrs has been a G&L ASAT special. I love constructing guitars and messing with electronics i also play live but not as much as i used to. I am currently constructing a Baritone strat style but my next build may be a tele 12string made out of some Ancient Kauri i am importing in.

cheers
Tony

Hi tony

Welcome to the forum. What part of Aussie are you in.

Paul Gold Coast

Howdy, I'm new here myself. What do you think of your G&L? I don't actually own a Telecaster (yet) but I'm wondering how the G&L stacks up against the Fender.

Cheers!

Hi Paul i am in Melbourne

Jimi i love my ASAT i have been playing my home built strat for the last 12months and just last week went back to the G&L and its again my fav player.

As far as how it stacks up against the Tele well thats up to the individual but i like my ASAT better then my mates 70's US tele, with the MFD pickups in the ASAT special to my ears it smokes the stock teles, but i also dont mind jamming around on my Nephews Affinity stock tele which is missing in alot of areas. I also have a U2 Danelectro and i love that guitar as well.

cheers
Tony

Hi Rob thanks for the welcome.

Bit of an inventive side myself mainly guitar electronics but never too old to learn. I am always scrounging around and learning something new, which is great.
