I bought my 1992 ASAT Special new in '92. I have Gibson's, vintage Fenders, a Hamer Custom Shop and a PRS. My ASAT's quality, fit and finish fits in perfectly with the rest of my arsenal. It has NEVER let me down in 31 years. My G&L ASAT is my go to instrument. Never regretted the purchase. I can't say the same for a couple of the others. Just saying...

@@kbadr I bought a G&L Tribute ASAT Special Deluxe (that's a mouthful) Those pickups are awesome! They're not P-90s and have almost the output of a P-90 but Jumbo MFDs are way brighter. P-90s always seem kind of dark and middy to me and at worst muddy. The G&L, on the other hand, is really punchy and bright, but not ice-picky like some teles can be. I can still get some passable tele tones out of the bridge but it's a completely different animal. Always in your face, punchy and bright, a total rock and roll machine that does double duty as a country guitar. Listen to Band of Susans they built their whole band around that pickup.

@Luke I'm exaggerating of course, just trying to have some fun while making my point. I love teles but the best one I've played was a butterscotch blonde one with the arm contour, belly cut and the n3 noiseless pickups. For me that's where the sweet spot is if you want a Tele to play live for example. Nothing wrong with the traditional ones, just not my cup :-)

G&L have been my custom shop for years they are the industry best kept secret. As always Phil great facts great review and great company. In my humble opinion G&L is just a better fender. They worked with me on my builds as though I was a signed artist for them. Great company even better people.

That's one sexy guitar. Sounds absolutely amazing especially with gain. Let's not forget G&L , was actually George Fullerton's and Leo Fender's company, after they sold to CBS. That's what the G&L stands for. In theory you're still getting a Fender guitar, complete with improvements to his own designs.

That little $400 bugger is it. I pick it up tomorrow. The only strat I can compare it to is my friend’s American special that was probably $1800 new. The special had the looks, but this guitar just sounds and plays fantastic period. First strat I’ve truly vibed with since then. Just one man’s opinion, but it seems to be shared by many!

Old guy here, I don’t mind admitting that. Had a very early G&L, the original F-100 bought new in 1981 which was the company’s first guitar model. Three-bolt neck but NEVER an issue because the neck pocket fit was laser tight, a huge improvement over the often sloppy neck pocket cuts on Fenders at the time. I still am obsessive about neck pocket gaps in bolt-on guitars to this day! ;-)

Great review thanks. Those comfort cuts sound great, and less wood means less weight. 7lbs odd is fantastic, my Fender Tele is SO heavy, I think it's 9lbs odd.

I got my first G&L in 2018. Got a real sweet deal on a Legacy HB usa 2010 with a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge position and G&L alnico V in the middle and neck. I love Fender Strats, got a couple of them, but this guitar has become my main axe. It can cut through any mix, and you can play almost anything with it. My next one is gonna be a Tele just like yours, Philip!

Beautiful medullary rays in the maple fingerboard / neck! That, I understand, comes from being perfectly quartersawn. Nice

Recently bought a Fender Strat but may be having a bit of buyers remorse every time I see a G&L, great video as always!

Fantastic guitar. I’ve owned half a dozen G&Ls over the years, and they are wonderful instruments. Huge bang for the buck, too.

I've had two G&Ls over the years; nicest solid body electric guitars I've owned. Phil's experience isn't unique, they're simply underappreciated in the market.
