Brown truck delivered!

Just received ASAT Jr #188 of 250 and very pleased at first feel.
(arrived two days ago and I was out of town but got her in my hands today)

First impression beyond the cherry red color was it is a featherweight. Mahogany but SH is very easy to pick up and play. Have only played a short bit but I like the tone. Kind of reminds me of a Guild Bluesbird, another gitar I like. Seems to keep the right amount of big MFD but there's a little growl that can come out. Again, this is only a few minutes of playing time but this will be a keeper.

Thanks to the folks at GC in Kirkland WA for this GAS moment.

Any other Jr owners with suggestions or comments on yer experience?

Hi Sam,

Congrats my man Wasn't aware there was another Jr. available so close by in the Seattle area.

That chambered body makes it indeed very light-weight. I have my #182 tuned in Dobro tuning to do some slide work and I love it for that. Now I only wish I could play like Duane, or Warren, or Derek, or Sonny, or ...
