Second set of photos from the Factory for 2014 ...

Here are the second set of photos for 2014, which were posted on G&L's Facebook page:

Alley Cat Music in State College, Pennsylvania, has commissioned us to build what they've dubbed "ASAT Cat" models just for them.
Imagine an ASAT Special outfitted with an S-500 rw/rp middle pickup, 5-way selector plus a push pull to get all seven possible pickup combos.
This particular "ASAT Cat" deletes the pickguard and goes with rear mount controls for a clean look. What really knocks us out, however,
is the vivid marbling in the equatorial mahogany body and the way the Autumnburst finish highlights it.

Image

Here's an ASAT Classic in Himalayan Blue with top binding.

Image

Here's an ASAT Classic in Redburst over swamp ash with a 1-ply black guard. Looks mean to us. What do you think?

Image

In the paint shop: Black Ice Collection bodies.

Image

Here's a Black Ice Collection ASAT Deluxe II.

Image

More Black Ice Collection: Here's a Legacy Deluxe.

Image

Here's a Black Ice Collection M-2000.

Image

Here's a Bluesboy Semi-Hollow in Clear Red over swamp ash.

Image

Now this is flat out gorgeous. Bluesboy Semi-Hollow in Honeyburst over swamp ash with wood binding and 3-ply creme guard.

Image

Here's a Fallout in Belair Green with a pearl guard

Image

Here's an L-2500 in Blueburst over swamp ash with wood binding. Show of hands: who's got a Blueburst G&L?

Image

Here's an L-2500 in Emerald Blue Metallic. Good opportunity to contrast this color with the S-500 yesterday.

Image

Here's an LB-100 in Spanish Copper Metallic with matching headstock any tortoise guard.

Image

Lefty S-500 in Emerald Green Metallic with a 3-ply mint guard and black covers. Southpaw sweetness.

Image

Here's a Legacy HB in Vintage White with a tortoise guard.

Image

Here's a Legacy Special in Yukon Gold Metallic with a Saddle Lock bridge, Vintage Tint Gloss maple neck, 3-ply white guard and black knobs.
We think it's way cool. How about you?

Image

Here's a Legacy in Blueburst, flame maple over swamp ash, pearl guard, rosewood and Light Tint Gloss neck finish.
The iPhone doesn't do it justice to the top, but.... Blueburst = sexy.

Image

Here's an M-2500 in Gloss White with matching headstock, ebony fretless with neck binding. So sweet.

Image

M-2500. It's naturally delicious.

Image

Here's an S-500 in Ruby Red Metallic with a matching headstock, 3-ply creme guard, black covers and knobs.
Whoever ordered this, you have imagination and we salute you. The iPhone doesn't do justice to this sweet S-500.

Image

Here's a Savannah Collection Bluesboy 90. The grain in the Korina top is really nice and Autumnburst(*) finish frames it perfectly.
Pau Ferro fingerboard, Light Tint Gloss neck finish, and a 1-ply black guard round out this beauty.

(*)Note: The body color finish is actually Old School Tobacco Sunburst.

The Savannah Collection Bluesboy-90 body finish is actually Old School Tobacco Sunburst. I added a note to reflect this in my post.
Of this set of insturments, the ASAT Cat with the Autumn Burst finish on Equatorial Mahogany is my favorite. :thumbup:

Not a bad one in the bunch. The M-2000 with the black ice looks like it was carved out of stone. That ASAT Cat tho.... :o :o :o I wouldn't even sell it, I would leave it on the wall to take more orders. Don't even let anyone touch it, they would drool too much. :shifty: What a beauty. :thumbup:

That S-500 ruby red is a real looker. It's almost impossible to go wrong with a creme pick guard. I will be in the minority I'm sure but that ally cat tele , while having a nice grain does nothing for me. I can't be the only one who thinks that middle pick up ruins the look of the guitar.
