Interesting Finish on '87 ASAT...

Whatcha ya'll make of this?

Looks like it may be an aftermarket refin… black neck plate screws + smaller black string tree screw seem to also imply someone's own customising...

Cheers,

I thought it was a refinish/paint , especially since the pickguard is paint matched

I emailed Dave to see if he can look it up in the factory logs.

Stay tuned.

I just heard back from Dave:

Hi Craig,

Serial number G023018 is (or was) an ASAT in Natural Ash, maple #2 neck completed April 13, 1988. It was built on a typical purchase order from G&L Music Sales, Inc.
Apparently, an owner of the guitar thought it would look better with a lot of blue going on.

Thanks, Craig.

Dave
