1987 asat special

Post by tedkirkendall »

Would an asat special from 1987 be considered collectable and worth more than one from say 1997? Thanks

All things being equal, there are some who would geek out over an '87 ASAT, and might pay more. But if you mean collectible like a Broadcaster, or a '52 Tele, not really.

Yes, the ASAT [1986-1991] is listed in Zachary Fjestads' Blue Book of Electric Guitars as being worth more than the ASAT Special [1992-1998].
See: Is there a good source for getting G&L instrument values?

Hope this helps.
