How to (place an order)?

[Chuckboots]

As a newcomer how do you place a custom order for an ASAT....I dont have much on the wish list and I've seen the options available on the G&L site but cant see how to place an order. Also how long does it take and is there an app to get a view of what my dream would look like?
Cheers

ps sorry if this has all been asked before.

Welcome to the insanity that is G&L.

The answer to your questions us: call your dealer. Only they can give you a price and time frame.

Ah, I thought it was too simple
I loved the idea of the options list and hoped it was just a case of an online form, tick the boxes, it calculates the cost, you pay, you wait, it turns up.

Mind you maybe its better that its a bit more involved...it could cause untold damage to my finances

Next question....are there dealers in the UK (Scotland) who can place orders?

You don't say where you're located.
Here is a list of U.S. G&L dealers:
https://www.glguitars.com/us%20dealers/index.asp

Here are foreign distributors:
https://www.glguitars.com/distributors/index.asp

If you don't have a local dealer, you can place an order with any one on the list.

As far as wait times, people here have reported anywhere from a few weeks to several months.

For what it's worth, my custom build in 2011 took 6 weeks.

If your build contains fairly common options, you might find exactly what you are looking for if you search online.
Keep in mind that ALL G&Ls are ordered to spec -- even the dealers stock.

UPDATE: For the most current specifications and options, check this post in the Knowledgebase: Current G&L U.S. Specifications and Options.

Hope this helps.

FYI: AGB has not yet updated their configurator to the lastest Price List (August 1, 2014), so don't rely on the MSRP pricing they show.
They also are missing some finishes, new models and changes to some specifications. See this thread: G&L On Line Guitar Builder.

Hi, I don't know of any actual G&L dealers here in Scotland. I know guitarguitar has occasionaly got one on their website also Barnton Street Music in Stirling had Tributes... I got one from there but apart from that I've never actually saw a brand new model here

Thanks for all replies, that guitar builder is something else. Looks like only one dealer in UK so I guess it has to go through him.

[Chuckboots]

And John, aint it great that we dont have a dealer in Scotland at all

[JagInTheBag]

The Scots deserve a dealer!

Just found out Ayrguitar (in Ayr) are dealers for Tributes but can also place custom orders for US customer specified models.

Hi Chuck I am a noob to the forums and also from Scotland. Did you ever place an order for a G&L through Ayrguitar? If so, how was the service and are you happy with the guitar?
I am a lefty but might enquire to see what I could possible get through them.

[Chuckboots]

Hi Paul, sorry for delay. I did get a quote from AyrGuitar but it was pretty steep and charged more for an Alder body!!!! Music Direct in the States do an ordering system which seems to be muchly reasonable....

For G&L Custom Shop orders, you must go through one of the G&L Custom Shop Dealers, listed on the new G&L Custom Shop website at https://glguitars.com/customshop/.
