I have a Tribute ASAT deluxe carved top, and I ordered a Tribute ASAT Special in tobacco sunburst from Musician's Friend in November (the mahogony version). It was backordered, then finally they sent me an email claiming that the model has been discontinued. It's still on the G&L site, so I was wondering if anyone at the forum could confirm MF's claim. I have another Tribute ASAT Special on backorder, this time the blueburst ash version, and I wonder if I'm going to get another email from MF claiming that it has also been discontinued. Thanks for the help.

I have forwarded your post to Dave McLaren at G&L. G&L's offices and factory are currently on their annual December shutdown, so it may be a week or two until I heard
back from Dave. The Mahogany version of the Tribute ASAT Special just came out this year, so I would be surprised if it was discontinued so soon. It may be that they are
on backorder awaiting for another shipment from Indonesia.
Stay tuned.
Hi Craig,
The ASAT Special in TSB over mahogany as shown on the G&L site is still in the line. Same with the Blueburst on swamp ash one.
It may be that MF isn’t carrying that model anymore, though. They don’t carry everything all the time, and we’re doing some special runs
for them coming up. So, my guess is that they’re talking about what they carry, not what G&L offers.
Thanks a lot, Craig.
Dave
