Just bought a 2001 G&L ASAT Classic Semi-hollow Bluesboy (greatest looking, playing, and sounding guitar I have ever had the privilege to play, let alone own). I see a few tele thermometer cases on Ebay that I want really bad, and was hoping someone here would let me know if my guitar will fit. I tried to search the forum for the answer but can't find it.
it looks like it would be a tight squeeze, but thats a good thing if I can get it in there.

I'll post photos of my new guitar in the appropriate place when I get the time.
Glad to join the forum!

Re: Will Bluesboy fit in thermometer case?
I would not buy one unless I could try my guitar in it. You will find that the Bluesboy is about 5/8 to 3/4 of an inch longer than a Tele and the Fender cases have very little extra room at the top. I have both brand cases and the G&Ls will not fit in a Fender case without a chance of damaging the top of the headstock.-- Darwin

Re: Will Bluesboy fit in thermometer case?
Thanks for the response
What about this cool looking poodle case?

it looks like it has a bit more room. Does anyone have one of these, or know whether or not the Bluesboy will fit in it?

Re: Will Bluesboy fit in thermometer case?
It seems to me that the only case for a G&L is a G&L case?

Thanks again guys, and i would enjoy a G&L case for my bluesboy Bill, but I can not find a molded case by them. I do not want a suitcase type case.

The G&L On-Line Store has been updated and it look's like only the Deluxe Tolex cases are now available.Craig wrote:The G&L On-Line Store has them listed: G&L molded hardshell case.prichard wrote:Thanks again guys, and i would enjoy a G&L case for my bluesboy Bill, but I can not find a molded case by them.
