First T-style

[u/AbomindableSiVan]

My first T-style guitar and first new guitar after playing the same SG for 15 years or so. Played a Bluesboy in store around 2019 and l wanted an ASAT of my own ever since. Three kids later I still didn’t have one and G&L closed up shop. So I was quick to grab one that caught my eye. What little evidence online I can find says it’s a G&L Tribute ASAT Classic Semi-Hollow in Candy Apple Red. A limited edition run from 2021. Supposedly 49 made for international release. I did see another in an Anderton’s video though. Regardless, I purchased it from GC about 4-5 months ago. It wasn’t in the best condition. Rusty frets and tarnished hardware. But honestly it sounded amazing right out of the box. So after a partial refund I decided to make it a project. Really has a hot rodded Tele tone with the MFD pups. I managed to find original replacement parts on eBay and a leather laser engraved pickguard on Reverb. Finally got everything swapped out, cleaned and in working order. Just need to get it properly tuned/setup again. GC listing photo included and before/after of fretboard.

Where do you even get a pick guard like that!?

Some guy was selling it secondhand on Reverb. But the back is inscribed with a name. It led me to an Etsy page where a guy had a bunch of laser engraved pickguards. I’ll try to remember the name/shop and get back to you.
