    G&L is Fender. The down turn of Fender started with the CBS buy out. G&L is the real deal. I'm 73 and have been onboard with G&L since the early 80's. I'm still pushing the Blues. You want a Strat buy a G&L Legacy. Peace Los Angeles

    I’m in the UK . Discovered G&L back in the late 1980s when they’re were a couple in my local guitar shop .
    Bought both but didn’t get on with the Legacy but kept the Asat Special.
    Both my main guitars now are USA Asat Specials . Got a Tribute one as a back up and it is amazing too ! 😊

    Not entering the contest because I already own an ASAT Classic (thin line with a Rosewood board). It’s the first nice electric guitar I’ve ever owned and I almost cry when I touch it. The MFD is one of the most underrated neck pickups speaking as someone who mostly plays jazz.

    My man tearing it up.
    G&L's, especially their American made guitars, smoke the competition.
    For Strat and Tele style guitars I prefer G&L.
    For P90's it's Yamaha Revstar.
    I've owned two Les Paul's BTW. A late 80's and an early 90's.
    I sold both of them.

    I have a g&l asat classic. The stock pickups are great - definitely more “rock and roll” than what comes stock on a fender. The guitar plays well overall. Downside is that it’s REALLY heavy by tele standards.

    I would love one! Never owned a T style guitar before, but really want to add one to my arsenal. I do own a G&L Tribute S-500 and it’s a KILLER guitar. Big fan of G&L! The MFD pickups sound phenomenal! And would be more than happy with the ASAT over a Telecaster.

  • @domino4565

    ~ I have an early 80’s American made G&L L-1000 bass.

    Beautiful and built like a Kenworth.
    Monster bass.

    Those pickups are awesome. I have Fralin's blues special set on another tele but I like MFD''s more. Super versatile pickups. From country, through blues all the way to hard rock sounds. In my opinion perfect tele pickups.

    I have three ASAT’s including a Special, a Deluxe and Classic. I’ve also owned a few of the Legacies. Only issue with the Legacy (for me) is weight. They were always very heavy. If I could find a light one maybe less than eight pounds, I’d own it! Great review my friend.

    I'm late for the giveaway ‼️😂🤣 BUT I'm a Fender guy, love my strat. Now I checked out a professional 2 telecaster and loved it, but didn't buy it yet ( thank God). Fender has gotten too corporate. So I went looking at a G&L Fullerton ASAT CLASSIC and I'm impressed. G&L I played was light, the body reminds me of an Ibanez AZS Prestige and Fender telecaster, bottom line is G&L is a better built guitar than a Fender, it's a Fender on steroids ‼️👍

  • @lorelei2002
    @lorelei2002 Год назад

    I just got my g&l fullerton deluxe legacy recently. Love how glassy it is. Its what i imagine a 1954 strat should sound like. The craftsmanship on the neck is amazing too. Its the only strat i love all the positions in. On more 60s style ones that cost more that ive tried sound incredible in the neck and good but not as good in the bridge while the in betweens dont speak to me. And to get the equivalent from fender id have to pay way more.

I'm sure the US made one's are top notch, with much better hardware.

    @MatthaeusEbonah 6 месяцев назад

    It's the greatest guitar I've ever owned. Mine is a Indonesian ASAT classic tribute. It doesn't quite sound like a tele. Not in a bad way. They just have two distinct sounds. The ONLY thing and I do mean the ONLY thing I don't like about the MFD pickups is they're noisy. I haven't ever had the privilege of playing in their humbucker selection. But the MFD single coils sound great clean but are hella noisy in high gain situations.

    People only chase that fender decal on a headstock because of signature series and nostalgia. G & l's are the best factory fender style guitars out.

    Actually Leo bought a strip of land, built a row of suites and named it Fender Ave.
