G&L ASAT w/ Trem Any info-Value?
Hello, I would appreciate any info and approximate open market value of my g&l ASAT. It's an Ash body, maple neck with 3 MFD single coils and a trem. It weighs 8.68 lbs. 20200813_190036.jpg The guitar is original and I've had it about 15 years or so. I'm not the original owner. I'm considering letting it go but I have no idea what I should ask for it. I've called g&l about it years ago and they said they couldn't say the exact year but it was probably early 90's. It plays like butter and sounds fantastic so it's not an easy decision. Thanks in advance for everyone's help. Aaron

First, I relocated your post to a more appropriate forum.asc-95 wrote:Hello, I would appreciate any info and approximate open market value of my g&l ASAT.

Please post some photos of your guitar. For posting photos, see: Tutorial: Posting photos.
Without seeing your guitar, I think your guitar is an ASAT with one of the optional tremolo bridges and the 3 single coil MFD pickups with a 5-way
pickup selector switch. Here is page one of the January 1,1988 G&L Dealer Price List:
Here is a post on finding values of G&L instruments: Is there a good source for getting G&L instrument values?.
Looking forward to seeing your ASAT.

I just saw your photos (thumbnails only, as I don't have an account on The Gear Page).asc-95 wrote:Thank you so much!
I see that it is either a 1997 or 1998 ASAT III model with the optional DFV trem because it has a 4-bolt neck, see this page from the July 1,1997 Dealer Price List:
Please do add your ASAT III to our G&L Registry.
Hope this helps.

Thanks so much Craig! I uploaded a Flickr link. Hope I did it right. I also registered it but want sure how to list a few things. There's lots of options and I don't want to be inaccurate
