I recently re-introduced myself after being absent from here for a while, and it's nice to see the updated forum and all of the active membership! Here are some of the G&Ls I've been fortunate enough to own over the years:
My first ASATs, a '93 and a'95, 2001-ish. Regrettably sold both years ago......

LEGACY by Eric Miller, on Flickr2009 Bluesboy I owned last summer. This guitar was spectacular in the neck pickup position- it seriously sang. It also had super-nice inlays and I loved the Shoreline Gold. Ultimately though, the body was thicker than my 3-bolt ASATs and I couldn't get used to kind of "clunky" feeling, so I moved it along.

ASATclassic by Eric Miller, on FlickrCurrent Project ASAT w/Legacy Neck. I need to do the humbucker route yet, and I just ordered a control plate from Rock Rabbit Guitars. Fun fact- it turns out the control plates on 3-bolt ASATs are about 4mm longer than a modern ASAT (or normal telecaster).

red Rampage. I don't know what it is, but I've always really liked G&Ls.
A question: are the Bluesboys thicker thanthe other ASATs in general, or is that somehting that exists depending on the year of the Bluesboy? I definitely have a Bluesboy in my future and was just curious.
