Back Into G&L's!

[mapleleaf14]

So back in the summer, I picked up a brand new Doheny CLF V12 from Sweetwater for $1500...couldn't resist that price.



That quickly reminded me how much I seem to like U.S. built G&L guitars, so over the past couple of months I've been buying G&L's like I'm made of money or something (I'm not!).


I've added these from about 3 months ago all the way up to yesterday actually...


Legacy HSS RMC Pearl Gray...used for $800






2021 Legacy...acquired in a trade for an EBMM Cutlass and cash






2017 ASAT Classic Thinline Belair Green...used for $700
I found this exact guitar (same s/n) in a social media post by G&L that mentioned something about it being a test run or something like that...they did a few colors of them? Anyone know about that?






2012 ASAT Classic Bluesboy Clear Orange...acquired in a trade for a used Eastman SB-59 and cash
This is the one I just got yesterday, it has the Seth Lover HB in the neck, and an ebony board...was ebony normal in 2012 or was this ordered with that board? Super light weight and in just about mint condition...I liked the Eastman I traded, but I had gotten it used for just a hair north of a grand, so getting this one and cash, it was a no-brainer for me.






2022 ASAT Special Lake Placid Blue Metallic...used for $800
Saw this hanging in a local shop and it is mint/like new...I looked them up and saw that new ones were like $1699 so I snagged it.






This one I actually got before the Doheny, about a year ago - it reminds me of Brad Gillis' red Strat he plays in Night Ranger!
2015 Legacy Detroit Muscle...used for $750




So I think I may have a problem! These guitars are so good and used prices are great for what you get.

Hey mapleleaf14,

Welcome back and some sweet scores and great prices!

What are yer thoughts on the Doheny V12? I love these pups and the switching combinations are just sick. The Legacy HSS RMC Pearl Gray reminds me of a super strat I had years ago, rock machine.

Looks like you've got a lot of bases covered, do ya have a favorite or does one get more playing time than the others?

Remember, you can never have too many ASAT's!

Damn, quite the collection. Just guessing but I'd think ebony on the Bluesboy is special order (I could be way off base).
Love the look of the painted headstock on the Muscle Legacy.

LOVE the Doheny V12! (I'm a sucker for offsets anyway). Don't necessarily have a favorite, but the Doheny and the orange Bluesboy I just got would be definitely towards the top if I did.

Yeah, I love a matching headstock.

Ebony fingerboards are and have been available as a build to order option.
