So i was sitting in front of my computer last saturday afternoon, and i came across across a 99' G&L ASAT with a low price and no bids.... so i bid and actually won! It was my first time using the bay and wasn't sure what to expect........ I am happy to report that it was a fantastic experience, i don't know if that is the norm or not, but for a first timer it was more than i expected. Here are some pics i took this morning after bringing her home from a quick once over at my local dealer.

Congrats Scott!! That is a beauty. Is the finish CAR? The flake in that finish is always throwing me off.
Nice the seller gave you an honest chance to prove yourself as an eBay-er. Some of them are really fickle on first-timers. And as far as experience goes, a lot depends on the honesty of the seller and the quality of the wares offered. In the case of G&L's, the latter is usually well taken care of.
Don't forget to add or update this guitar in the Registry.

Wow! That's a beauty! Matching headstocks give guitars with rosewood boards a nice custom feel.

Thanks guys,
I thought the color was ruby red metallic.... but now i'm not sure - It is pretty dark in person, but i have never seen a CAR in person either. Maybe i'll have to order a new one to compare! (That is after my SC-2 arrives)

Hey Scott,
Judging from your picture of the guitar in its case, I am pretty sure it is Candy Apple Red. It is really weird how the texture seems to change under certain lighting conditions (read flash).
