The place to discuss, post photos, video, and audio of the G&L products (US instruments, stomp boxes, etc.) produced after 1991, including the amps & gear we use with them.
but I can't find the exact dimensions ( I would be glad if I can avoid to remove it only for measuring it )
Taipantone used to make them with a perfect fit, but he seems out of business.
And apparently Delisle aren't siezd right...
So I've contacted Marc Rutters who can make one for me, actually he already have an aluminium one that is ½” wide x 2 5/8” long.
No answer here either (you could always measure the one in your ASAT), but I contacted DeLisle about this a while ago and he said he'd be happy to make them if he had one to copy - I didn't send one because of postage costs. If one of you guys in or nearer the US sent one then who knows what might happen....
FTR, the ones DeLisle make currently are good, but will definitely require some reshaping of the ends. About 10 minutes with a hand file is what it'll take. The string holes all line up.

Is anyone knows if it's going to fit?
It's going to be in THAT guitar
I've emailed a contact at the factory to get the dimensions and whether that size above will fit.
I wonder why G&L don't offer anything other than plastic?
Never seen an explanation here as to why the shift to plastic--I assume it was a cost decision. I have a feeling this was one of the most unpopular changes made in the last few years--even more than the new serial number plates. If it was merely a cost decision I wonder why it was never offered as an upgrade where the buyer could pay the increased costs for the metal part.

Stay tuned.
I heard back from Chris and he says:
Hi Craig,
Yes that is the cavity dimensions, so it should fit nice n snug
Craig, you are the best! Your in with the people at the factory helps us out so much with questions like these, it need to be stated explicitly once in a while. Just want you to know.

You are welcome!
I also contacted de Lisle Guitar Co. to find out if their blocks are drop in.
Here is their reply:
It is not a direct replacement. The required route for our block is 1/2" W x 2 3/4" L x 11/16" D.
If you can, please post before and after sound files. I'm sure others will be interested in knowing and
hearing the difference. Also, please post a photo of the block that Marc Rutters makes.
Looking forward to seeing and hearing your results.
