Hi All,
My name is Ali but to some I'm known as Arti (short explanation - i have a dear friend who is 90% deaf and when we first met many (many) years ago he understood my name to be Arti instead of Ali so it stuck with that group of friends and thats why my Bar at home is called Artis Bar as is my email address!

I am a new member from Sydney Australia and was introduced to G & L guitars and this forum by another dear friend of mine Geoff - Thanks Duggo!
Since Geoff schooled me on the G & L's i have come to love the instruments for their build quality, tone, sound and looks and have been lucky enough to add some nice pieces to my collection. I should say i am not that good a player - you could say all the gear, but no idea.
I am a bit of a collector of guitars but not in the traditional sense. My collection has some nice pieces in it, some collectable but nothing rear or unique. When i was young i had some nice guitars and when times were tough I had to sell them to pay the bills - common story no doubt. Now things have changed and i am doing better so when the opportunities come my way i take them, if i like the guitar (i have stopped chasing the ones that got away - or at least thats what i keep telling myself
posting.php?mode=post&f=47# ).
I also love Gibson's - however, their build quality can be hit and miss, Fender is great as well but since I've owned G & L's i can't help but compare and the G & L's keeping getting the points. I am not brand sensitive i just like what i like and don't what i don't. Some guitars i just can't wait to play again and others are nice to have. At the moment, I really love the Asat 25th anniversary in my book it is one of the best i own, it is a great sounding guitar (just really heavy), also the Asat Bluesbay (and light so you can have it hanging around your neck all night) and last but not least my Gibson Midtown!
Anyway thats me in a nut shell. I look forward to chatting with other members and enthusiast about G & L's along with other guitars and music related topics.
The G & L's in my Collection are;
1994 Legacy Special in a Tobacco Burst
2011 Legacy SSS in a Lake Placid Blue
2014 Legacy HSS in a Cherry Burst
2006 Asat 25th Anniversary in the Custom Honey Burst
2007 ASAT Blues Boy without the F Hole
2012 ASAT p90 Blues Boy without the F Hole (this one I'm a little confused on cause some say it maybe a classic custom???)
Not exactly sure what else i need to put into the intro's but if you have any questions am happy to answer!
Thanks
