Ditch your Telecaster! G&L ASAT Classic 'Bluesboy' Semi-Hollow

[@jacobpugh4096]

This was the most enjoyable and to the point guitar review that I've seen. Thank you.

[@007Rocksteady]

I was about to write almost exactly the same.

I wish all guitar reviews wer like this, no blablabla, just straight to the point. Love the tones & stunning finish on the guitar.

[@Alanoffer]

Good review , Yours is the only review where I can hear the voice of the guitar , not full of distortion .. thanks

[@barbmelle3136]

From Leo: Never "ditch" any guitar, just buy an extra. I have the G&L bluesboy semihollow, and it is excellent, but so is my Fender Telecaster, just in a different way. I keep them both. BTW, that humbucker us a 4 wire variety, very easy to add a switch to coil split, giving more sounds cheap and easy.

[@Eliseo_M_P]

What coil split pot did you buy? Also, do you remember which wire is which for G&L humbucker?

[@bunkie2100]

I had my heart set on a Fender '52 reissue. Then I walked into 48th Street Guitars in Manhattan (now, sadly, gone) and saw the custom-ordered ASAT Classic: Antique maple neck, maple binding and hand-painted dark red metalflake swirl. I no longer wanted the '52 reissue. I bought the ASAT on the spot.

[@jirikrajnak9047]

you bought it ASAP

Awesome review bud! I recently purchased an ASAT Classic Fullerton Deluxe and I instantly fell in love with it, my poor Tele hasn't seen any daylight since then.

[@CodyCEngdahl]

Okay, I'm convinced and your assortment of yeses just kill me.

[@adityap8746]

Great review. No fluff. Just the right amount of information for everyone’s benefit! The metal part sounded way better than I thought it would. For a single coil pickup, that was quite awesome!

[@rishabhghosh155]

its not single coil tho, its a hum on the neck

[@adityap8746]

@@rishabhghosh155 nope. The metal part is not played on the neck pickup. If you notice the pickup selector, it’s closer to the bridge which is a single coil pickup.

[@p.s8950]

I went out shopping for an American G&L Bluesboy and came across this exact guitar. It's superb and I actually think the Tribute is better than the American model, at a quarter of the cost as well. Thanks for the vid.

[@dingusfuzzklonnkt2755]

Inferior electronics, plastic nut, and a neck that isn't plekked. How is the tribute better than the Fullerton model in any way?

[@chaussmk]

@@dingusfuzzklonnkt2755 American made PU's, Easily replacement switches and easy to get it plekked for half the cost of the American Model!

@@dingusfuzzklonnkt2755 he's also not the first person I've heard who out shopping and ended up ordering this model.... Thinking he wasn't going to touch an import.

[@daviddalziel884]

Great review and fine playing ! I recently tried a few Teles at this price range -Squier CV , Fender Player and the best for me was the G and L Tribute. It didn’t have the humbucker but it sounded great -big frets and nice feel from the neck . Have almost decided to go for one but your demo makes me want to check out the Bluesboy although stores here in Scotland don’t have a big G and L stock . Cheers 🍻

[@PabloCruzat767]

What a wonderful demo, and amazing guitar...my best regards from Chile!!

Thanks Pablo, appreciated.

[@maxallegretti]

Nino complimenti x il chitarrone, ed ottimo playing. Asat una garanzia

[@michaelsablan8772]

Aloha Braddah, Why would I ditch my Tele? the guitar from the Genesis company of the Man….Leo Fender, his lineage of his invention, innovation and creation? It just shows how it evolved to be even better if not equal for a different purpose!? After all, they are both his designs.

[@CodyCEngdahl]

[@isthereanybodyoutthere9397]

And the G&L Tribute Legacy and Comanche Series blow any Fender Strat away imo.

[@nrich5127]

The G&L sounds great and I want one but I would't get rid of my Tele cause they do sound different.

[@yachinyphotography]

I love g&l

[@waltberger7885]

G&L's are the best Strat and Tele guitars for the price imho. Their other models are SAWEET as well. They have fixed some of the issues with these style guitars that fender is in love with continuing to produce as part of the guitar. Weve moved forward in time and advancement and Id rather play a guitar without the setbacks. I dont want to own a hard to play 50s relic strat etc. Has the same ol problems.

[@huginstarkstrom]

neck: yes.

Somehow I find that in most G&l video review, the pronounce in the articulation of the notes of these pick ups are so low. In other words, they sounds stiff. The craftsmanship however is beautiful.
