Greetings from the Rocky Mountains!

Today I received my first G&L guitar, a Tribute ASAT Deluxe Carved Top in red. I was going to build a partscaster and as I went down my list I found this guitar had all the things on my list except a Strat-shaped body. But I'm a Tele-guy at heart, so that was a non-issue. I'm going to take it to my tech for new strings and fine tuning, but I could easily go out and gig this guitar right now, right out of the box. I'm really impressed with this guitar. I may upgrade the electronics, but not until I play it for a while and see what it can do.

I have a question. What gauge strings are on the Tributes? I usually play a .0095 set or a hybrid set with a .009 on top. The stock strings on it feel fine and I might use the same gauge if I can figure out what they are.

This seems like friendly and smart crowd and I look forward to accessing the collective knowledge base of G&L owners here.

BTW, my bass player has been playing a fretless L-1000 (I think that's the model) for years and it's his favorite bass. I think he's as excited about my new guitar as I am.

Welcome!

I just replied to your other post regarding Tribute string size.

Please do post a photo of your Tribute ASAT Deluxe Carved Top, as it does not exist without photo proof.
And don't forget to add it to our G&L Registry.

I'm having problems getting photos off my camera and onto the new computer, but I will post a pic as soon as I can.

Welcome to the site.
