G&L Tribute ASAT's
Does anyone have any input on the Tribute series ASAT's from G&L. I am looking at an ASAT Classic Premium with the swamp ash body any would appreciate some feedback from anyone who has played one or owns one. I intend to add either a Bigsby or a Hipshot at a latter date for a little extra versatility and would like some input on that as well.

I have a Tribute ASAT Classic Premium on order. The Tributes are excellent guitars. The pickups are the same as in American-made G&Ls and the overall quality is on par with American Series Fenders. The sound is classic Tele, but fuller and more balanced. Is there anything else you want to know?

I have a Tribute ASAT Special Plus. It's well built and I think it's a great sounding and playing guitar. I posted my thoughts on an earlier thread, so instead of repeating myself, I'll link you to it......
www.tdpri.com/viewtopic.php?t=10101&highlight= One thing I should add is that the G&L pickups are pretty high output compared to most Fender pickups. If you are used to a Fender Tele, you might find the G&Ls harsh and a little aggressive at first. Don't be afraid to play with the tone and volume controls on the guitar, the pickups are actually pretty manageable and after a while you'll find that they offer a lot of cool tones. |
