1986 SB-1 and a 1984 SB-2

Been eyeing a trem for the ASAT for some time and thought about a Bigsby. When this system was announced I decided to wait and see on feedback and reviews. The system is solid and after doing research and taking measurements I pulled the trigger and it came in earlier today.

This is the model where you don’t have to drill and it’s the classic variant which is 71mm from pickup to hole spacing and that was what the guitar measurements said but there was some modifications and care needed to install properly. The plate that replaces the ash tray is a bit wider so it overlapped with the bottom of the cut out on the pick guard. I carefully used a dremel tool at low-medium speed and shaved down the material on both sides. I could have done one side just a touch more but I did get it to clear. Next the new screws that mount the plate to the body are thicker than the original screws that held the ash tray bridge. I carefully installed the new screws slowly to help drill into the wood and enlarge the holes gradually and once it got about 70% it stopped and took a electric driver on the lowest setting with enough torque to finish.

So no new holes in body and small sanding/dremel to the pick guard. Installed the system and put new strings and did a quick set up. Still need to adjust the tension of the system and get the set up dialed in but it works and it is solid.

I’ve made upgrades over time and this was probably the last planned upgrade. It’s a shame what happened with the company and considering what the big F is doing even more so. This is one that I’m not getting rid of

Can’t wait to slap this puppy in! Mighty Mite told me they found this in the parts bin (this was a couple of weeks ago). Love my Comanche but hoping this will take it to the next level

Hey all, thinking about joining the club and picking up this sweet G & L ASAT, but curious if anyone can help me get more information on the year of production and what I should pay.

Just picked up this 03 Korean Tribute Classic ASAT telecaster. It needs a good cleaning but I love it so far!

My hometown guitar store where I grew up taking lessons carried G&L and Heritage instead of Fenders and Gibsons. I fell in love with the feel of G&L early on and my ASAT classic and Doheny, both American and bought used, are the best electrics I own by far. Super proud to have this duo.

Found this US s500 on Reverb that looks to be in great condition

Does anyone have information on the signature?

I didn't notice the middle pickup not working when I first got this used G&L Tribute Legacy, but I also have no idea what would have caused it to just let go. If there hadn't been another hole next to the original it wouldn't have reached. How are they held into the base of the pickup? I tried adding solder from the bottom, I tried adding a dab of 2 part epoxy. I'm being very careful not to make it any shorter, but the pin where the two wires are joined won't stay in place and I'm not sure what is/isn't kosher. I have liquid electrical tape but after that I need to buy something

Hello guys, I don’t have any experience with the G&L and I would like to know more about this model or how much is it really worth. Found this guitar in a local shop, they say is a custom shop and it comes with the case and candy. It plays nice but I wanna know what would be a good price for. They are asking around 2600 $ for it. Any help is much appreciated.

I've had the Fallout for almost a year now and it's one of the best guitars I've ever played. Problem is, I was never a fan of how it looked stock.

As a person who tends to fix things that aren't broken, I did exactly that (well, I hired my friend to do it but you get my point)

• Set-up to C standard

• Rotosound Blacks 12 - 60

• Removed P90 Neck Pickup and Pickup selector

• Added custom tortoise shell-esque pickguard and control plate for faster access

Now my favorite guitar. Hands down. One pickup is all you need, one pickup all you deserve.
