Need help to identify a Tribute ASAT special premium

Post by Quisil »

Hi there, this is my first posting.
Over the years I was playing different kind of Telecasters , I always tried to get an Asat special. For me this seems to be the perfect guitar.
Some days ago I found a used one, made 2006 in Korea. It is sold as G&L Tribute ASAT special premium with swamp ash body.
I asked google and saw thousands of pictures, but I did not find a sunburst Asat special premium.
Afaik the Premiums were only made in Cherryburst or Amber. The Plus versions were made in sunburst over basswood.
Can somebody help me to identify this guitar ?

Please post photos of the headstock (front and back) including the serial number.

Here's a link to the Internet Archive of the Tribute ASAT Special page from the G&L website:

By 2006, they only had two versions: Standard and Premium.
Yours is probably Tobacco Sunburst on Swamp Ash.

Here are the Cover, Back Cover and Page 3 of the 2006 G&L Tribute Series Catalog:
