Actually it is a late 80's to early 90's ASAT Signature model (production from 1988-1992).

Sounds great!

Thanks for posting this, mutts. :thumbup:

You're welcome. I thought folks here might appreciate it.
I don't know the year changes as well as you and other members but I was thinking that the signature models were released near the end of Leo's era. Surprised a dealer like Norman's would get the year wrong. It does sound nice though. A good demo.

Here is a good reference post in our G&L Knowledgebase: Production List of G&L Instruments (USA).

Hope this helps.

Good post, the guitar sounded great. I guess there are a few that are less than 9 lbs....

My '88 is very light. I think less than 8lbs. I always assumed they were all light due to the thinner bodies.
