hey there, my name is Aaron and I'm new to the community and looking forward to rapping about these wonderful things called G & Ls, of which I used to own one, until one of the neighborhood crackheads stole mine
Welcome aboard!, this is a Great site with lot's of good people to learn from!, sorry to hear about your axe getting ripped.
I have a asat special and love the sound greatly! I also have a tribute model asat classic! they are both nice but if money's not an issue
I would go for the USA models! or like was said you can get a used US model for fairly cheap if you look hard enough.
Happy hunting!
