Rampage - I am looking to find out more information on this one in terms of history (first year of production). I think I ordered it in late 84 maybe 85 and at the time it was only available in black, yellow and red. At least that was what the glossy G&L brochure indicated. They had some other model, SuperHawk I believe, that were offered in white and I liked that color. The dealer had to call to see if I could get it in the white. Mine has not turned that buttery yellow yet except in places on the headstock sides and back. Of course I still have all the original paperwork that came with it.
Likes about this one is probably the neck. It is fast and feels great. The ebony fret board is smooth as butter. I rarely play it though and most likely will be going up for sale in the next few weeks.
ASAT Special Deluxe - This one has been my favorite for a long time. Mahogany body and neck. Not a Tele sound but a darker more modern sound but very versatile. I love the neck pickup for some sweet blues tone.
ASAT Classic Alnico Launch Edition - I've had this one less than a month, but it has the best tone and resonates better than any guitar that I have owned. That Western Sweet Pine is very nice indeed and the finish is gorgeous.
-Thanks
