NGD...Again. Updated with pics
Well, new to my house. 2012 G&L Tribute ASAT Classic Bluesboy Semi-Hollow. Clear Orange. Maple board.
Upgraded with Fralins. Fralin - “Twangmaster” in the neck, and Fralin “Stock TELE” in the bridge. 500k CTS pots, Switchcraft 3-way switch, Orange drop caps - tone pot, and treble bleed mod. Swamp Ash body. Hard rock maple neck. 18:1 tuners, medium C shaped neck. Rolled fingerboard edges. Killer sounding and playing T style guitar. Fantastic build quality. Never owned a G&L. But, have owned (and still do) my share of Fenders. From Mexi, to Japanese, to US. While it’s still early, I must say I’m impressed.

Now with gratuitous pics. I’ll take better tomorrow when I can get outside. The ash grain is stellar. The pics don’t do it justice.

Ty. The pics are pretty underwhelming. I’ll get some better photos tomorrow. But I can express how fantastic it is to play, the Frailin pickups are very, very nice. I’m sure the upgraded wiring helps the tones I’m getting also. But, having had a variety of higher end pickups, this is my first set of Fralins. I’m impressed.
I’d say easily on par with many higher ends guitars I’ve owned.

Welp, If wasn't playing it last night, I would have accused you of B&E on my house and stealing my axe. Almost. I have the Pearloid pick guard.
Nice Guitar! upload images free Get a set very tiny allen keys and some weak Locktite. The height adjusting set screws on the bridge pieces work themselves loose and the buzz you hear will be those. I restrung mine with light gauge Elixir Optiweb.

Thx for the tip. I’ll be sure to keep that in mind. I’ve got both on hand.
I’ve never heard of optiwebs. I’ll have to give those a shot.

There is a VA based luthier named P. Scott Tucker, PST Guitars, (who know maybe he's here too, I found him on FB Maryland Music Gear Exchange) who makes custom Tele necks and he makes them for G&Ls too. His stuff looks real good.

Thank You! I’ve owned a LOT of guitars but never a G&L. This won’t be my last.
