I've been playing about 40 years - various Fender Strats primarily and a Martin acoustic for the first 30. Never really got on with Gibsons until I purchased a Les Paul Jr about 10 years ago on a whim. I how have 3 Jr's, a Studio, and Standard (plus my American Strats).
About 5 years ago I decided to add a Tele-style guitar to the mix and purchased my first G&L, a Tribute ASAT Classic BluesBoy Semi-Hollow with a transparent orange body, maple neck & FB. Despite being my next-to-least expensive guitar (that title belongs to my Danelectro DC-59) the BluesBoy quickly became one of my favorites - and remains so to this day.
The finish, setup, overall quality and especially the tone are just unbelievable for the price.
Today, Musician's Friend is blowing out Limited Edition Tribute ASAT Classic BluesBoys in turquoise mist on their SDOD for [price deleted because posting new prices is not allowed] so I ordered another as a backup.
I've been lurking on this forum for a month or so investigating mods. As I'll soon have two BluesBoys , I intend to use one as a test bed and when I find something that works well I'll likely incorporate it into the other.
I am primarily interested in upgrading the tuners, nut, electronics (Pots, Caps, Jack & Wire), and changing out the pickups (leaning towards a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates for Tele in the bridge, and Pearly Gate, Seth Lover or Antiquity HB for the neck).
I was very happy to find this forum and would like to send a huge thanks out to all those who have contributed in the past as I've already discovered a wealth of info on here! Hopefully I will have some good information to contribute also as I complete and evaluate my intended mods.
