Hello from Mass.

Hi -
After buying my second G&L and having some questions, I figured I'd finally register after a couple years of lurking. My first is a 1995 ASAT Special with a light burst finish. (After I go through the picture tutorial, I'll post a pic and ask for what the color is called.) It's in close to mint condition and I haven't done anything to it - it's perfect and was well loved by it's previous, original owner. I got the second a week or so ago, a 2005 custom-made (I think) ASAT Classis "S" in two-tone burst. It had some rust and a ding or two, but cleaned up nicely - I think it's going to get a lot of use.
My main guitars are Teles, and I've been on the TDPRI forum for 6-7 years or so, learning a lot from those knowledgeable and patient folks. I started playing in my teens, stopped for a long time (hand injury, marriage, apartment), and started back up around 2009. I'm mostly self-taught save for a few lessons when I got started, and I gig once or twice a month in a 5-piece cover band and a 3-piece acoustic (guitar, cajon, vocals) cover band. After a ruptured tendon in my left little finger this July, I'm just starting to play again and trying to get back my callouses, hand strength and speed. (The Classic "S" was purchased in a fit of depression and need to look forward to something.) Aside from the dings, it needed a re-wiring and a new output jack.
I'm looking forward to being a part of this community and learning more about these great guitars!

Okay, let's see how this goes...
Here's the '95. Can anyone tell me what that color is called?
And here's the '05. Planning to post some questions about this later on.

Gorgeous! Wow! Not sure what it was called back then. Looks very similar to the current Old School Tobacco Sun Burst. Love how subtle the burst is. And black hardware - YES. I love my Classic S, oh who am I kidding, I love all my G&Ls.
Congrats, Dan

Welcome!
The color on your '95 ASAT is Honeyburst.
Please do add both your guitars to our G&L Registry.

Welcome, nice guitars. Definitely a cool subtle Honeyburst on that Special. Is it also on the back or is the back a solid color? The black hardware just makes it rock solid. Almost makes me want to buy one like it.
Post more pics please.

As requested - and I was wrong, there's a very subtle burst on the back too!
