NGD - First Solid Body Guitar Purchase in 28 years
Hi Everybody.
Unintentional NGD here at Casa Johnny K. Here's the pic. It's a used Asian made G&L ASAT Classic Bluesboy Tele. I paid a whopping 325 bucks for it and it came with a G&L gig bag. Its almost brand new, lt plays great, sounds great, has pretty good action, nice neck and it was cheap as chips. I've been looking for a Tele or Semi Hollow for some time. I am happy with my purchase so far (one whole day) and will likely unload it when I can afford a honest to goodness vintage G&L Tele. I do like them and have played a couple. It was a fun day shopping. Really wasn't looking to buy another guitar. Was only intending to by some cables for my monitor speakers and some new drum sticks. Stuff happens and It was hard to pass it up. I like the color. It's almost Gretsch orange and not quite Dreamcicle.

Sweet! Those G&Ls are nice.
I see a Fender amp in the corner? |

I have a Fishman Loudbox Artist, you can see behind the drums on the other side sitting on my bass amp. The Tele will play thru it, so long as I dont clip it. I'll be looking for a new tube amp. Probably a Hot Rod Deville or Deluxe Reverb. I've heard good things. LOL

That's a very nice looking guitar and a bargain from what you say.

Congrats on your new G&L!!!! I think G&L guitars are seriously under-appreciated for how good they really are! Last year I bought a limited edition Legacy with a nitro finish that is great. And I've played many other G&Ls that were also great, and if yours is anything like the ones I've played it will be a keeper!

I am gonna have to thin the acoustic herd and some cash for a decent tube amp. It plays thru my Fishman Loudbox Artist (and much to my surprise you can overdrive the Fishman) but I would rather not. LOL

Nope! I wish I still had my Twin Reverb. However, I wont be buying another. Gonna think lighter. On the Watts and the LB's. Deluxe Reverb, Hot Rod or Blues Jr., something like that.

Me too. I had a good ribbing at my wife's expense on that.
I want to still get a Gretsch 6120 in the classic orange. Everytime I mention it or pick up an orange Gretsch at a store she never lets is slide how much she HATES the color. Same day, same store, I bought her a tobacco burst Gretsch Junior Jet short scale bass. She picked it too! So now she has an orange (almost) Gretsch! Oh the Irony!

Still looking for a Fender replacement. Thinking along the same lines as you. Leaning towards Hot Rod or modded Jr. I’ve been using an Egnater Tweaker 15 head and 2-1x12 cabs. FANTASIC tone! Very versatile. Light. Reasonable price. One small tube head offering AC15, Twin, and Marshall options. Highly underrated amps. Do they NAIL the Fender clean. Close. But they AREN’T a Fender amp. So I’ll add one of the above mentioned Fender options to the stable at some point. But if your looking for a light weight, big bang for the buck tube amp...I’d recommend checking Egnater out. Enjoy your new guitar! Love Teles. G&L make some great guitars.

Nice guitar!!! I love my G&L S-500. It's very robust and gets great sounds in the studio.
