Tonal difference between ASAT Special and Bluesboy 90

Post by cider »

Hello everyone,
I am very new to guitars (started learning since June) and I've fallen in love with G&L. I lurked on the forum for a while before I decided to purchase my ASAT Special Tribute Series and I couldn't have been happier with it.

I have heard great things about the Bluesboy 90 and I would like to ask about the differences between the two, as they both have 2 single coil pickups. Unfortunately I live an hour train ride from the closest dealer and I have not been able to contact them, so I have no idea if they carry a BB90. If you have played both and could give me a brief description, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you so much for all your help.
Cheers!

Here's an ASAT Special demo:

There are other videos out there, so search for more examples, see: Where can I hear and see samples of G&L instruments?

Hope this helps.

Much appreciated, Craig!

I love the BB90 sound so much. Wonder if I could hear some opinions from those who have played with both :)

Cheers!
