I have been really pleased with my G&L asat classic. G&L's are mighty fine, but like all things, pick through them to find the one.

I play a semihollow bluesboy with maple neck-fingerboard. Great guitar- tones are great. Took some time to get used to the vintage ( small) frets though.

My USACG is kinda like a bluesboy. Chambered mahogany body with a seth lover bucker in the neck and Lil 59'r in the bridge. I guess Bluesman would be a more apt description ...as this guitar simply drips with blues tone and attitude. I would highly recommend adding one ( or one like it ) to your harem.

Haven't played one, but the f-hole sunburst one looks mighty nice. It is definitely on my wish list. Here with natural wood binding:

I had one of the original Limited edition Bluesboys. Played good the neck pickup seth lover was a little dark. The neck was too flat and thin for my tastes so I sold it.

Workmanship was top notch the sides and back were gloss black and it was so shiney you could shave in it easy. Looked like a super expensive Grand Piano finish.

G&L necks are all formed by hand no template is used so every G&L has a different neck feel so be sure and try to play the one you buy cause if you order thru the Internet you might get one with a real big or real small neck.

Oh. That would be a problem for me. Nearest G&L dealer is like far away from Bergen, Norway...

Just recently purchase Bluesboy solid body black finish. Ebony fretboard. I didn't care much for the maple neck. The edges were very sharp. Play one before you buy. The necks all feel a bit different. Has twice the tone of my American Texas Special Strat. Love it. 8)
