ASAT Classic CL05952 - what year

Post by DittyMeister »

Hi folks,

I have been all over the place trying to track down the correct info for my G&L ASAT Classic. I can't seem to find enough info on CLXXXXX to pinpoint the exact month and year or how to read the SN to find out.

The SN = CL05952. What year is this number? Was it made in USA? Thanks for your help. After I get all the info I will register it!

Here is a picture of it on this page

Howdy DittyMeister,

Read the Serial Number Relevance in the Knowledgebase. Since this S/N starts with 'CL' is can be fairly precisely dated to late '97. But as per usual, given that serial numbers have been used by G&L somewhat out of order, the most accurate data is obtained by inspecting the date stamps in the pocket and neck heel.

Hope this helps,

- Jos
