Hello from Canada

[green swirl]

I am happy to join a group such as this. People that realize a wonderfully made instrument. With any monogram on the headstock these would be great. 3 cheers for the workmen that worked hard for our pleasure. I am from the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, Canada. It is on a 90 mile lake and nestled in beautiful mountains. You can golf, snowboard, fish all the same day. It is a tourist mecca. Thanks for having me as a member.

Welcome!

Sounds like a wonderful place to live.

I saw your post in the G&L Knowledgebase about our new to you ASAT. Hopefully someone will be able to help you
with a solution to fill in those chips.

We'd love to see a photo of your ASAT. See this post for info on posting photos: Welcome! Read This First .

Welcome green swirl,
I just went to google maps to look at Okanagan lake...WoW ! that's a big long and beautiful lake !

I think I might end up being one of those tourists someday soon. I have yet to visit Canada,
(which is bizarre since I'm a native NWest'er ) . Okanagan valley sounds like a fine place to start

It'd be great to see some pictures of your G&L when you can.

good to have you aboard,
elwood

Welcome from a fellow Canuck!

Glad to have you on board. Like Elwood said, we all love checking out pics!

Enjoy

Thanks for the kind welcome. The ASAT is at the doctors getting a full medical checkup. A friend is a highend guitar builder and owned a guitar music shop for years. He can do a beautiful setup. When it is back (day or 2) I will definitely put some pics up on your site. Strange how the BIM neck is 1996 and the body is green swirl from 1998. Im not bitching as the 2 together are too cool. Thanks again.

Welcome aboard Swirl. I'm in Kelowna and have an ASAT Special on order. Is this ASAT of your the bowling ball finish one that was advertised on Castanet?

[green swirl]

Hi Liquid Smoke....yes it was on Castanet.net. First for $1000, then dropped to $800 with OHSC. I offered him $600 but settled at $650. I was very happy to get it as there is no fretwear and no scratches. The 2 chips at the bottom I am addressing soon. It is at my friends(guitar maker) getting a complete tuneup and assesment and then I'll do the chips when I get it back. The swirl really got me as most of my guitars are wood tones. This baby jumps out!!!

Welcome Mr. Green Swirl. Glad you found this place!

Sounds like you got a good deal on a great guitar. Looking forward to seeing it when she gets back. - ed

btw, sounds like you live in a beautiful place. Do you fish?

[green swirl]

Thanks Mr. zapcosongs. You are right ....this is a gorgeous place to live. I used to fish and hunt a lot more when I was younger but plan to start again when I retire in 1.5 years. I golf when I can and learn the guitar. I loved the workmanship in guns when I was young. Quality is everything. Now i love the workmanship in guitars. They please me to play and to look at. They are art.

More Canadians?
What's this site coming too

But really man, welcome. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the various topics discussed here and seeing some pics of your ASAT

[green swirl]

Thanks Ahryn....Canucks are avid breeders intent on taking over the planet. Must be the long cold winters LOL. I already feel very welcomed here by all and to know there is Canadians on board makes it even more special. The area I live in is disjointed part of the Sonoran desert. It is semi arid so only 10-14" of rain a year. Very hot in the summer and reasonably decent in winter. Abounding in fruit ...and big wine country too.

Welcome Green Swirl,

Might I suggest an avatar?

[green swirl]

Thanks JagInTheBag: Wow more Guitar Acquirement Syndrome (GAS). That's just about the same as my ASAT. What a cool finish. I'm so happy to have one with swirl... I'd have bought it as a wall hanger. Do you have pics of yours on the site?

This is one that was on ebay I tried to acquire but did not get. It is a really neat discontinued finish and one i will keep my eye out for, that much is certain.

Post pics of your ASAT ASAP!

How much did that go for on Fleabay ....do you remeber. I saw this one a month before i bought it and called the guy just for the heck of it to see if it was gone yet. He still had it and dropped the price again. I looked and it is still listed. The original price was $1200----1000----800----$650 yaaahoo! I'm lovin it.
