G&L natural finish ASAT Tribute

Post by bokonon82 »

Great guitar. I can't believe I got this thing for less than $400. One question I have is why is it so heavy?

Please post photos [front and back] and include the serial number, so I can determine the build month/year and the actual model name. Is this one of MF/GC limited editions?

To post photos, see: Tutorial: Posting photos.

Looking forward to seeing which Tribute ASAT you have. :searching:

I wish I had bought two of these so I could give one to my nephew. For ~$350 this is as good as it gets.

Your Tribute is one of the MF/GC Exclusive Tribute Models. Yours was built in Indonesia at the Cort factory in May 2020.
See this post for details: 2015-present MF/GC Exclusive Tribute Models.

The body is Swamp Ash and sourced by the Cort factory. As with many woods, they can vary in weight.

Hope this helps.
