Will G&L do a standard finish on ash?
I want to order a semi-hollow sonic blue ASAT classic. I know there is debate about wood, but the guitars I come back to have always been ash. In looking at the G&L website, it looks like ash is used for premier finishes and alder for standards. If requested, will G&L do a standard finish on ash? Thanks.

that still doesn't say if you can order it or not ..... I was under the impression you could order ash on standard finish if you check the box

For models which have more than one wood type, such as ASAT Classic (solid body), the standard spec is:ASAT Classic Semi-Hollow
Same as ASAT Classic, except features twin Voice Chambers on the left and right sides of the body. Available with or without F-hole.
Standard and Premier finishes included, with Swamp Ash body.
And then this option is also available:ASAT Classic
Finish Standard finishes included
Body Alder on standard and all solid finishes, Swamp Ash on all Premier finishes
Hopefully this will help clarify.Current US Swamp Ash Body Option
This information is based upon the August 1, 2014 U.S. Dealer Price List.
Swamp Ash Body option may be used with any finish.
No additional charge when used with Premier finish.
