Congrats!

Looking forward to pics

It's here and all I can say is G&L built the perfect Tele. Love the contoured body, love the pickups, love the tone!
I'll take some pics sometime this weekend.

Did I mention I love the neck? It feels exactly like the neck on my Jeff Beck Strat so it feels right at home. And here she is:

Gorgeous ...nice buttery-scotchiness !!

Is the BadCat an attenuator ?

[jmontgomery]

It's an attenuator/amplifier. It has a reactive load that takes the signal to line level, then re-amps thru a 100watt class "D" amp. I'm using it as an attenuator now, but you can also use it with a low wattage amp to amplify it's output. It's very transparent. It also has an effects loop. I was playing a Mesa TA15 with a delay pedal in the Unleashes loop. I like how I can set the amp volume at its sweet spot where it's really cooking, then set the volume on the Unleash. All the tone at any volume.

brilliant, thanks for the scoop

Looks like a good one with a nice balanced grain.

Does it have an arm contour or is it a standard slab cut?

[jmontgomery]

Arm and back contours. I've owned four Teles over the years, one G&L, the rest Fenders. I like the Tele sound, I just found myself never playing them because they're not comfortable like my Strats so they never lasted to long. When I saw G&L was making a contoured ASAT Classic with three alnicos I knew I'd like it. It weighs just 7.4 lbs.

Any of those Classic Alnicos are sweet. A classic look with 3 pickups and the contours are as good as it gets. Great instrument! -- Darwin

I'm going to say it again. This is the perfect Tele!
