Fender Mahogany American Deluxe Strat-Special Run

For those of you that have never seen one, this is a Mahogany Strat. I purchased it new in 2008 and it has had virtually no play. I usually play a G&L. Anyway it has the LSR nut, S1 switching and Schaller locking tuners, therefore no string tree. I just did my winter check on it. -- Darwin

it is called the satin trans fat strat .

Darwin, very nice choice my friend...

So here's the million dollar question, should G&L offer a Invader or Legacy HB in Mahogany??

IMHO would be a nice offering but will the boys in finance say there are enough buyers??

I am an ASAT guy but do think I could be swayed wth the right mukti-talent guitar like this.

What-u-think?

G&L did do the following Mahogany Special Builds:

ASAT HB Special Build 2004 less than 35 (mahogany body and neck)
Legacy Special Mahogany Special Build 2004 less than 25
Comanche Mahogany Special Build 2004 less than 25
S-500 Mahogany Special Build 2004 less than 25
ASAT Classic "Blues Boy" Special Build 2005 28
Legacy HB Mahogany Special Build 2006 35

plus my one-off ASAT Special Semi-hollow all mahogany (body and neck) with gold hardware and rear-loaded controls (no pickguard).

There are also two Invaders (G0xxxx) and one Invader Plus with mahogany bodies in the G&L Registry.

Hope this helps.

NICE playing, really enjoyed it!

Thanks Craig,

Forgot about those special builds. Now the search is on.

Forgot to send kudos to the clip in earlier post, nice playing.

what other info is available on the s-500 special build? i tried searching but nothing.

There is hardly any information on these models. You must have noticed they are all conspicuously absent on the Custom Creations page of G&L's website. The only references I know of is their inclusion in the Production List of G&L Instruments (USA) and an additional reference for ASAT-models in the List of Special Edition & Non-Production ASAT-style guitars, both in the Knowledgebase of this forum.

i saw those, but it doesn't say anything about the guitars. i did however contact dwasifar who used to own this one, and he already answered this morning. i found him in the registry, after figuring out which of the 25 this one is.
