Latest G&LAS Attack.............

I've wanted one of these in this color since I first saw a picture of one. It's clear orange with gun oil tint neck. My camera makes it look more red than it actually is.

Been Jonesin' for a trans orange ASAT for a while, rosewood neck and perloid 'guard in my vision !!

I'm envious, very cool. What's the neck profile like ? seems the newer ones are a little fatter than the earlier ones.

G&L Necks

Yup, they seem to have shed their pencil-neck philosophy, at least on ASATs. Every new one I've played has a nice medium-full contour.

BTW--Your guitar is gorgeous!!! Just love the transparent orange, very cool, flashy yet organic looking.

Everybody knows...

...orange guitars just sound better.

But of course I'm biased.

Got this NOS '96 at a shop's liquidation sale in '97 for short $, and about two years ago sent it back to the factory to address some odd fretting issues. They made me a new 3-bolt neck (they went to 4-bolts in '97) to my requested specs, under warranty. Now that's what I call service!

ASAT clear orange is the color that inspired this parts-caster,



There's nothing like the real deal though!

Too Cool!

Those G&L ASATs are outstanding instruments! I just acquired a Tribute Semi-hollow, and I'm delighted with it. I can't imagine how great the USA made versions are, but I hope to find out one day.

Enjoy!

John :D

I like see-thru orange, indeed

I've got a Yamaha tele with a beautiful orange stain top veneer, with a cream binding. So beautiful...
