G&L Tribute ASAT Special (Tobacco Sunburst): Where Did It Go

Guys, I've been thinking about buying a new T-style guitar, loaded with P90's or Jumbo MFD's, to complement my two Fender Telecaster's.

The G&L Tribute ASAT Special (Tobacco Sunburst) has had my attention for awhile now; but everywhere I look, the only "in stock" offering is the Blueburst version!

What happened? Was the Tobacco Sunburst version discontinued?

Why don't you ask your local G&L dealer(s) and see if they can order one for you? AFAIK, they are still available.

AFAIK, there are no G&L dealers nearby (Marion, NC), but I'll keep looking. Thanks.

Interesting. The only ASAT Special options on G&L's web-site are Blueburst and Tobacco Sunburst, yet the one's that I'm seeing for sale look more like 3TSB finishes. I, too, prefer the Tobacco Sunburst finish. I'll check Studio Gears. Thanks!

here's mine...


here's the typical tobacco sunburst...

See: US Dealers on the G&L main website.

Yeah, I can clearly see the difference now.

The Tobacco Sunburst finish is blended all the way to the edges, whereas the 3TSB has that distinguished reddish ring around the edges.

I definitely prefer the Tobacco Sunburst.

The G&L web-site displays a genuine Tobacco Burst finish, but somewhere along the line, something changed.

The Tribute Tobacco Sunburst is similar to the US G&L Old School Tobacco Sunburst.

Yep. I prefer the TSB over the OSTSB.

No Tributes on their web-site, and they're too far away!

Looky here.

Not affiliated, just trying to help a brother out.

Well, I wound up buying a Tribute ASAT Classic in Butterscotch Blonde:



In the end, I preferred the ash body, maple fretboard and BSB finish.

Thanks, guys.

Excellent choice.
