Nice tone, but smooth jazz :zzz: That track belongs on 'The "Best" of Budget Hotel-Chain Elevator & Lobby Musak: Vol 2' :mrgreen:

This is no Tribute, but he sells that guitar for the price of a new Tribute, case included and it's there for two weeks now. :crazy:

You might want to look again. :searching:

There are five tell-tale items that I see which indicate it is a Tribute Series ASAT Special.
The output jack, the domed control knobs, the pickup switch tip, the color of the pickguard,
and the one that is most telling: the headstock decal. Note the font type of "ASAT Special"
and that it says "ASAT Special". All US ASAT Specials have only "ASAT". Also, there are two
words under the G&L logo which say "Tribute Series", though it is not clear enough to
read in the video.

Hope this helps.

This demonstrates the incredible tone of not only the ASAT special but
of the Tribute series to boot!

I just wish G&L would make 42mm nut width on the tribute line instead
of 1 5/8" which is too narrow for a lot of (older) folks.

OK, thanks. I expected a big "Tribute" on the head stock. :oops:
In fact, I never held one in my hands. ;)
