That's a magical collection there, Greg!

Yow!

And I keep thinking, my 5 G + Ls is enough. Ha.

I'd more accurately call it a "research collection" as I work on the G&L book. Some have already been released back into the wild and more will follow once the book is done... but that won't be for a while.

Buffalo Brothers (just North of San Diego in Carlsbad) has just found itself in possession of over 100 G + L guitars and basses, apparently from 3 different sources up in the Northwest where the economy is goin' bad.

This sounds like new stock off the hooks, and also some rentals. I believe this stuff is really nice, and totally undercuts all their existing G + L stock, new and used. I see no reason why the vast majority of these guitars would not include the original COA and case (or gigbag). They've got some of it entered onto the webpage but this might be 30-40 guitars and basses, not 100, so there's more coming.

I don't know who the "bank" is and I guess it doesn't really matter. I'm guessing these prices, as low as they are, are negotiable.

So, cash in that CD, get in the van and drive for California. These are some remarkable deals, even at the prices they are posting at. How are they gonna keep track of all the guitars and all the excited buyers? If they sold 25 in one day, could they ship them all that day? Maybe they won't wanna haggle, since the excitement level will already be too high.

Wow!

boris bubbanov · October 11th, 2009, 11:55 AM

It has occurred to me, that some of the stock they got will be Tributes; but it generally looks like they've added ASATs and SC-2s to the page and haven't really gotten to the others.

Been considering the "down side" of these so called "used" guitars. I don't think G + L is gonna ignore you if you have an issue, like Rickenbacker might do, I don't think the vast majority of these ever left the shops they were sent to, nor are they placed in the GbL Registry. This is so close to just buying a new one off the rack, except you're paying a low enough price you can sell it with little financial hit. I would say no hit, but I'm squeamish about guitar prices right now. I think they're going down more.

BTW, BB has Twenty-Five USA G + L guitars to choose from which are all under $ 1,000.00 and other half dozen at $ 1,000-1,050.00. Amazing.

boris bubbanov · October 12th, 2009, 08:00 PM

$ 750, but a gigbag, not a case.

That looks EXACTLY like mine! Yours is an '05 Korean I bet....

Here's a blurry shot of mine:

boris bubbanov · October 15th, 2009, 02:36 PM

The one guitar I know of that Buffalo Brothers sold, the Emerald Blue one, is off the page.

Could this mean that all these others are still available, and more?

Wow. Times are tight.

EDIT: But wait. Look at this!

For what it's worth as of three or four days ago BB also have a lefty Legacy in tobacco burst, rosewood board with satin birds eye maple neck and tortoise guard. The price is very good also.

wolfman63 · October 16th, 2009, 12:12 AM

My favorite Tele is my right handed ASAT butterscotch, with maple, left handed three bolt, "deep V" ,George Fullerton neck. It is an absolute dream to play, and has that vintage Tele sound. I bought it new about fourteen years ago.

Any photos ?

wolfman63 · October 16th, 2009, 10:36 AM

Sorry, none at this time. As I said in another forum somewhere, I'm a computer/digital camera ignoramous. Soon as I figure out all this stuff I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the interrest.

jazzrat · October 16th, 2009, 04:22 PM

Gotta love 'em.
This Legacy is my only G & L but it whets my appetite for more as it's the equal or better
of any strat I've had including EJ's and Custom Shop.
'06 with the nice beefy Bi-cut neck.

I love that color and the birdseye fretboard peeking out there looks pretty amazing too.

G&L makes some wonderfully nice guitars in all price ranges IMO.

tonyw · October 18th, 2009, 05:52 AM

Hi Guys
first post here, this is a pic of my 96 ASAT Special called "The Beasty. I have had this guitar since new and its had a heap of playing.

pyrrhocorax · October 18th, 2009, 09:17 AM

Hi guys

Just joined the G&L 'club' :)

Always fancied an ASAT, and an 'unmissable' guitar came up on eBay, an ash bodied, maple boarded 1989 guitar in near mint condition in original case with manual, only one small lacquer ding and near zero fret wear to show for 20 years of life :)

Set her up and she plays amazingly with a slinky action, cuts through beautifully and the chords just kind of fall under my fingers :)

The MFD pickups are an interesting sound, very clear and articulate, she makes a nice pairing with my natural ash, lace sensor equipped Buddy Guy Strat.

Can't understand why the string winding posts taper the wrong way though - that's a weird one !

Pics of my new best friend follow ... :)

boris bubbanov · October 21st, 2009, 01:31 PM

Still watching this Buffalo Brothers page.

Based on what I can see, 2 ASATs have been sold and one JB-2 bass (previous stock, I think).

This bulk buy of guitars has cause one or more things, perhaps.

A number of buyers are selecting guitars and basses that never made it to the page;

Other buyers and sellers elsewhere have been forced into action by the availability of a nice sized inventory of basically new guitars at just a bit more money.

I could have 20 G + L guitars at this point, but before that happened I discovered what fun it is to assemble a "Fender" specifications guitar. I can't make a "G + L" guitar.

Tim from Buffalo Brothers had about two dozen of those G&Ls at the Arlington guitar show last Saturday, and two of them that I had my eyes on were sold before I had the gumption to pull the trigger on them. Dang! Anyway, every one I saw was in mint condition with no scratches or dings of any kind. In addition, the prices typically ranged from about $750 to $1000 for Legacys, ASAT Classics, Classic S, and so on. I'm sure there are still some great deals to be had.

jim_pridx · October 21st, 2009, 02:36 PM

To tonyw & pyrrhocorax.....those are some great looking ASATs. Welcome to the world of G&L guitars!

jim_pridx · October 21st, 2009, 02:42 PM

Boris, I just checked the links you posted earlier. I believe this is one of the guitars I let slip away from me last Saturday. If not, it was one that was nearly identical.

http://www.buffalobrosguitars.com/im...ats/index.html

I was at the BB booth waiting patiently for a guy to put it back on the guitar stand, but he bought it right then and there. Oh well.

Thanks for the welcome Jim

I nearly just bought an ASAT special body with a B bender fitted out but i missed it by $3.50 on the Bay.

Like Boris i too assemble some of my guitars, i have some pics of my latest 2 over on the strat forum.

cheers

Those "S" model ASATs seem to be a favorite. Three have sold off the BB site so far; none left showing. That one, an Emerald Blue (teal) one, and a Vintage Yellow (slightly yellow Natural finish) one also with pearloid pickguard.

They finally sold one of the 4 ASAT Classics with the Butterscotch finish and the gun oil tint neck. Those look real tempting, also.

CodeBlue · October 31st, 2009, 10:11 AM

I just picked up a Bluesboy last night - Black w/ tortoise shell pickguard.
It's the 3rd G&L I have owned and it's just a magical piece. The other two went in trades but I'm not gonna make that mistake again!

bfgz · November 1st, 2009, 12:41 AM

I thought i better post my latest G&L. I have never been much for black guitars in the past, I tended to like the translucent type finishes but i really do like the look of these with the black pearloid pickguard.

This model with the black finish is a Basswood body and the top tone pot is a push-pull to split the humbucker and the bottom tone is the G&L PTB pot. The single coil pickups are Alnico V and the humbucker is an Alnico as well.

This guitar has a very pleasing and distinct voice.

I am still always amazed too at the quality and playability of the Tribute Series instruments. Even the Rosewood Fret boards they use on these guitars are impressive for the money.

Keep up the good work G&L

XKnight · November 13th, 2009, 10:32 PM

Legacy with Birdseye Maple neck and gun oil tint finish.

JayFreddy · November 14th, 2009, 01:56 AM

Added my first G&L to my collection today, a 2007 USA ASAT Classic in Vintage White. Since it's white and I acquired it on Friday the 13th, I've named it Casper, after Casper the Friendly Ghost.

Killer thick neck, nice toneful pickups. I'm gonna log off and go play some Tele-Casper...
