I'm not sure why I've never thought of taking a look at this model. I'm a big fan of G&L's USA guitars, and awhile back I tried my first import Tribute model when I compared the Tribute Legacy to the USA Legacy. Today I get my hands on a Tribute ASAT Bluesboy, a T style guitar with a humbucker in the neck position. I discuss the quality, fit and finish, setup, fretwork, overall playability and sound. Of course I demo the guitar and let you know what I think.

Great playing as usual, Leonard! I just found (in my local pawn shop) a Fender Player Tele with 2 humbuckers and it sound sand play fantastic, The neck is slim ( the way I like it) and the pickups are actually very nice (the coil split works well). Turns out this is the guitar I never knew I needed! Thanks for another awesome video!

Hi Len, I really like everything about this G&L. That humbucker that you're kind of iffy on is right up my alley. The mix when you're in the middle sounds great. It's amazing what you can get for $550 (likely a bit less if you're willing to do the work, I am) I also love the 6 brass saddles. Your playing is terrific as always. I really like this guitar and the price makes it even more attractive. Thanks and Cheers from Chicago.

Well that's how it should be played! Impressed and inspired again. I have fender vintera 70's custom and as you said the real magic is blending the full on bridge with the smooth neck, there are some really tasty tones to be had. Hope you are well, take care😊😊🎸🎸🎸🎸

Always a thorough demo and super tasty playing! That bridge pickup or combination both pickups sound fantastic. I wonder if replacing the neck pickup with the Fender Widerange pickup would add some clarity. I suppose there's a lot of other options out there for the neck pickup. G&L make solid guitars and glad you showcased this one!

Really fetching with the Candy Apple Red-ish Dakota Red-ish color combo and the H/S Telecaster pickup platform despite the challenges of integrating the Single coil/250k-Humbucker/500k paradigm that is challenging to get just right. Nice sounding guitar. It seems like this one kind of begs for a vintage output PAF style pickup in the neck, both for keeping its output and volume witching reasonable parity with the single coil bridge pickup, as well as clarity and chime on a neck pickup. I think a Seymour Duncan Jazz Model in the neck would pair well with this slightly overwound-sounding bridge pickup. Really nice review, playing and tones on this guitar.

Would you be up for a video comparison between the G&L Fullerton Deluxe Legacy, S-500, and Comanche? I'm curious about the differences between these three models...and would of course love to hear you play on all three. Thanks for your videos, I get a lot out of them.

That’d be an interesting comparison, unfortunately I haven’t the resources to acquire those guitars all at once and it’d just be dumb luck if it happened. Especially now with the used market so sluggish. My channel has grown tremendously but it’s still not in a place where’s there’s any financial backing. And I’m a musician, not someone with a lucrative day job. But I will keep it in mind. I did review a USA Legacy and also did a comparison with the Tribute version. Thanks so much for watching. It helps.

Terrific sounds, as usual, and a very nuanced take on that pickup improvement by Leo Fender that might have been a rare misstep! I’m currently using a G&L strat Legacy, which we got my son in 2002. Amazed that the G&L guitars are overlooked so much, considering how many other strat and tele clones are out there now. Wondering which you think are best…. how about a shootout (or two)?

Great review and superb playing! Now I want one of those G&L HumbuckerTeles. All I need to do next is get a capo, tune to F# minor, ditch the pick and dig in with my fingers to go into Iceman mode, right? Would that it were that easy!

I used to be a bit of an Albert Collins nut, to the point other players at festivals would mention how much I sounded like him. I never took it as far as copying his setup, but to this day it finds its way into my playing. Thanks so much for watching.

These do have a reputation for being heavy, and the Tribute Legacy I featured was. But this one is actually fairly light. I’d recommend buying from somewhere that publishes the weight, or asking. Light ones are out there. Thanks so much for watching.

I don’t like those six individual saddles. The string can’t go through the center, it’s offset pulling the barrel down on one side.

No. Each saddle has two screws. It can’t be pulled down on one side any more than a Strat saddle can.
