Thoughts on the Ascari?

Post by Jijoe68 »

Hi All

I'm really interested in the Ascari but can't find much information about them.
Looking to understand what people think of this guitar.
Sounds/tones
Playability
Quality

I'm looking for a 2HB, set neck, mahogany body instrument with a Les Paul vibe - but not a Les Paul price.
Got a 90's US Legacy - absolutely fantastic.


Any opinions or thoughts on the Ascari?

I have the P-90 version. What's not to like???

Good price, good sound/tone, feels good in my hands. Go for it.

Here's a good starting point: Ascari™ GTS.
Then try using our Search function.

Hope this helps.

Hi Craig - thanks for that.

I did actually try a search but didn't see many comments about the Ascari.
Also - I can't find a decent quality video review of the GT90 anywhere.
I did read your thread on the GT90 edg - thanks for that.

Been scanning for about 2 weeks now - since the GAS kicked in.
It was actually these two video reviews that got me interested:

However, these are fairly professional reviews - I've never heard/seen a bad one - as there's always an alt motive - right?
I was really looking for some in-the-know player thoughts - warts an' all.

Cheers

Joe

My son plays a GT90, I love the way it plays and sounds.
