Got my ASAT Special (in my avatar pic) in 2003. they will pry it from my cold dead hands.

I've heard critics say the ASAT Special cannot twang. I am here to say those critics are doody-heads.

Second most favorite? What's your #1?

freshthreat · August 2nd, 2009, 01:48 PM

Here's a well loved SC-2...I have never loved a guitar more.

bfgz · August 5th, 2009, 12:44 AM

I really love this guitar and i am amazed everytime i play it that it is an import model. It even has a birdseye fretboard.
My next one will be an ASAT Special.

jim_pridx · August 6th, 2009, 02:11 AM

The latest two acquisitions to my harem; a 1985 G&L Broadcaster and a 1986 ASAT:

mudbean · August 8th, 2009, 07:43 AM

Bass O.K., too? '91 Legacy:

I added EMG's somewhere along the way.

mud

SteveK · August 8th, 2009, 09:35 AM

Ok, count me in too:

'98 GbL_LE, '99 ASAT Jr., and a '96 ASAt Special (with it's 2nd neck)

There's also a '96 Legacy, '96 Fullerton, '88 Interceptor, '98 Legacy Special and a Y2K S-500 lurking around the house somewhere.

Of course "bass is OK!" Good to see ya mudbean!

Wardpike · August 11th, 2009, 12:37 AM

I'm absolutely in love with my 1995 G&L ASAT special, semi hollow-body.

I also have a G&L "Tribute" S-500 "strat". It does not even come close to the American made units!

nvilletele · August 11th, 2009, 01:08 AM

Here's an ASAT Deluxe that I had . . . until recently . . . sold it and bought an AV52 RI.

Wardpike · August 12th, 2009, 11:10 AM

I'm in the market for another ASAT Special or 3, if anyone is selling. Please PM me.

Thanks,

Ward

OM 21 · August 15th, 2009, 10:43 AM

Well, as I mentioned in my initial post on this thread, I have been looking at a sweet US G&L ASAT Classic Custom in baby Blue. Finally made it happen yesterday. There is more pics I just posted over on the main forum, but wanted to add one here as well.

robinje · August 15th, 2009, 08:46 PM

I just orderd today (from Buffalo Bros.) a new ASAT Bluesboy semi-hollow with f-hole in basic 'premium honey" finish with a rosewood neck, gun oil gloss neck finish, white pearloid pickguard, and upgraded tolex case. I think this wll be a nice alternative to the 'standard' Tele configuration that I own (it's a Ron Kirn custom job). I'll try to remember to post pics here when it arrives, but Buffalo Bros says 90-120 days...

What a great looking guitar!!! Nice and basic without any flame top, burst finish, or any other distractions. I like your G&L in this 'vintage' configuration so much that I ordered a new one today much like yours... ASAT Bluesboy in ash with f-hole, honey finish, rosewood fretboard, gun oil neck finish, and upgraded tolex case. YAY! Now, the wait begins...

ReIgnition · August 16th, 2009, 02:19 PM

I deleted the link to that bad wall photo I took and snapped a few better pic's today of my custom special... It's actually a littler darker than in the photo's but here goes...

jim_pridx · August 23rd, 2009, 05:02 PM

Two more members of the family.....a '90 ASAT and an '82 S-500:

Wild Rice Chris · August 23rd, 2009, 07:03 PM

A pair I did some restoration work on a few years back..

AjayTele · August 24th, 2009, 06:49 PM

How about a "Will Ray" Signature G&L?

SouthpawGuy · September 7th, 2009, 07:03 PM

Pics of my latest Legacy s/s/s ...

Cherry burst, ash body ( heavy).

truckerrik · September 10th, 2009, 09:39 PM

In 95 I went into my local G&L dealer looking for a Legacy. He set me up and I went through the dozen or so he had on hand without finding THAT tone. After trying to explain what I was looking for he came back with this gaudy looking thing. He said it was the guitar that the staff used when they wanted to sell amps so I gave it a try. I went home with it. That was the beginning of Tele love.

Fantastic combination of colors.

OM 21 · September 11th, 2009, 10:26 AM

Thanks BB. It was the one at Buffalo Brothers that I originally intended to buy, but they sold it before I had a chance to raise funds. Luckily, I found this one online at American Guitar Bourique and was able to sell off the 000-18 in time to get it. Having owned it for about a month now, I think my other electric could well end up on the chopping block soon, as this guitar covers it all for my needs. And hell ya, she sure is a looker.

jim_pridx · September 11th, 2009, 10:58 AM

Ah hah! Now that you mention American Guitar Boutique, I recall that you also posted this guitar on G&LDP, correct? Very nice guitar indeed!

Jim

OM 21 · September 11th, 2009, 02:06 PM

Yes Jim, I believe I did make a post over on G&LDP about this one, however it may have been before the big eraser came and took it all away.;-)

Humbuster · September 11th, 2009, 03:51 PM

After a long absence from G&L ownership, I found a 2005 ASAT Mahogany (#2 of 28) in very nice shape. It is on it's way to me and I will post pics upon receipt.

Does it look a little like this one?

Humbuster · September 12th, 2009, 11:25 AM

Yes it does.
Only mine has a 3 ply pickguard and does not have a cover on the Bucker.

I may want to add one.

Beautiful guitar, by the way. You have good taste!

Humbuster · September 21st, 2009, 08:03 PM

Looks like the one on the right.

For those who might be interested, there's a new G&L discussion forum happening. It's called the "G&L Roundtable." Of course, it's still in its infancy state, but it looks to be off to a great start. The site can be found by clicking the following link:

Oh.

She's a real looker, Zillinois. Must've been hard to say goodbye to her.

Teleasat · October 4th, 2009, 03:49 AM

Here's my '86 S-500. I love it.

There's a new G&L forum at http://www.fenderavenue.com/main/For...5/Default.aspx. Check it out. There's no Big Eraser over there as OM21 put it! Wish you guys could post your pics over there.
