Hey guys,

I've occasionally browsed around here--usually landing here from google searches for other stuff--but just picked up my first Tele (ASAT Classic Tribute) so figured it was time...

I'm known as "stratotastic" on TGP & HC but that didn't seem to fit here - lol.

As for the ASAT, I love it so far. It's an older Korean one, black with rosewood. There are a couple issues with it, one of which I already fixed by gutting it and replacing the pots & wiring. The nut also binds on the high E and B strings (easy fix), and one of the saddle adjustment screws for the high E vibrates loose (not sure how to deal w/that one). But other than that, the thing plays and sounds phenomenal.

Anyway, I've enjoyed lurking around here and look forward to making it part of my rotation.

See ya round,
Nate
