NGD - 3-bolt ASAT Classic Left Handed
I saw it at a dealer that's hooked me up a few times before.
It will be shipped tomorrow, then a cleaning and setup:
It will be interesting to find out when this one was made...
Cheers,
Will

Hey Will congrats!
It’s hard to find lefty’s and one that looks that clean is even better. Love those 3-bolts too. Looking forward to hearing the date and tone report.

That ash figuring looks great too.

LOL it was quite a while ago since I tried it last. But from what I remember, everything looked pretty good on it. You'll like it a lot.
HNGD!

Wonderful guitar! As a lefty myself, greatly appreciated. Trans blue finish is killer.

Re: NGD - 3-bolt ASAT Classic Left Handed
Thanks! Yeah, I love the color, figure of the ash, and the old "dustiness" of it.
Now, due to the weather, I'll have to wait until end-of-day tomorrow for the FedEx.

Re: NGD - 3-bolt ASAT Classic Left Handed
Hey Will,
I was looking for the engraved "ASAT Classic" between the 2 height screws to the rear of the bridge pickup seen on every AC in my collection. But then I finally realized I was looking at a lefty. Doh!! So apparently the left handed versions of the bridge base plate do not have that distinction.
I have the "G039xxx" numbers somewhere between mid-1993 to mid-1994. You know the drill: parts bin, random draw, etc. Pulling off the neck would tell you more.
I have seen mineral stains, aged nitro, file marks and what not on necks. But never such a "perfectly" perpendicular dark cut. No clue what that may be. The straightness seems to indicate it is an artifact. Some knife running rampant? Dunno.
But have fun playing her.

Maybe some type of capo was used that caused the damage

Yes, we lefty's get a few in there... It's in my tech's hands now. He doesn't think the scratch is anything more, but will do a deep clean and look closer. The pots are scratchy a bit so hopefully a clean will quiet them down. The middle position on the selector seems to make an out-of-phase sound, so that will be investigated too.

Maybe. we'll see...

Nice! Not enough of us...

Re: NGD - 3-bolt ASAT Classic Left Handed
Will, nice pics. And I agree...it is a mighty dirty guitar. I think that may have been the only reason I shyed away from it. I guess Jimmy & the gang didn't feel like cleaning it up. Odd for them.
In any event, I'm certain that's a clear blue finish on it. I don't recall seeing the teal as you mentioned, but again it's been quite a while since I've seen it last.
Once your tech is done with it, I'm sure it's gonna look & play just like new. HNGD again!

Yeah, it's not teal, but has a slight something. Maybe it's due to the wood maturing or it was in the sun, I don't know.
I most likely won't see it for a week. It also came with a poor quality F case. I ended up getting a tele road case for it...

Thanks. I've registered 3 guitars in the past.
Maybe I'll look and see if my credentials are filed away somewhere.
