Its Hear, ASAT SPECIAL DELUXE

Post by astutzmann »

Just picked up my ASAT Special Deluxe that I ordered back in January (I think). It came in a while ago but I was away.

I just submitted it to the registry.

Was blown away when I opened the case.

Came in the deluxe case as well, extra treat!

Specs,

ASAT Special Deluxe
Natural Gloss finish of mahogany body with flamed maple top.
Locking tuners
#3 Wide C neck
Ebony Fretboard
Medium Jumbo SS frets
Graph-Tech Nut
Clear Gloss Neck Finish
Black pickup covers

Here's a first shot, I'll take more photos when I have more time.

A cleaning and new strings coming up.

Alf, the link inside the timage BBCode must be to the image file, not to an album or slideshow. Here is the code:

Yeah, that too. I wonder what wood options are associated with which model. I know they've relaxed some of the "rules" like color options on the SC-2. What about a hog SC-2 w/ a hog neck? The rules per model should be defined. If so, that may be my next...

Dave has a Custom Configuration concept going on as mentioned on their Facebook page:

UNIQUELY YOURS .... UNIQUELY G&L

So you might check with your favorite G&L dealer and see if they can order it for you.

Keep us posted.

A few G&L dealers that I've visited knew less about their products than me. I expect no less this time around. I'll go to the source. BTW, thanks for the follow-up.

Hi Will,

Hmm, not good, however, you will need to place an order through a G&L dealer. You could suggest they check out G&L's Facebook page as a starting point.

Hope this helps.
