Greetings I just purchased a what I was told was a new G&L ASAT Classic Semi-Hollow CLF 1712114 and I trying to validate the provenance of the guitar. It was sold to me as new but the serial number does not show up nor can I find any specific photos of the guitar on-line that indicate if it was a custom order or a factory build in 2017 to 2025? Any assistance would be wonderful as I hope I did not overpay for the guitar.

Your best bet is to send an email to Memo at repairs"at"bbesound.com and ask him to provide you the build details.

Check out this post in our G&L Knowledgebase: Serial number significance. You will find that this US G&L guitar was built in December of 2017. For it to be sold to you as new (from a G&L dealer) it would have been New Old Stock. You would get the full G&L 20 year Warranty. As was mentioned by Tooslowhand you can contact Memo Romero (G&L's Service Manager) to get details including the completion date. You should also have received the Factory Build Specifications sheet along with the Certificate of Authenticity in a large G&L envelope which was usually located in the G&L case. That sheet will have the details of your guitar including the build completion date. Please post some photos of ASAT Classic Semi-Hollow, as we always like seeing a member's new purchase.
