Guitar of the Day – G&L ASAT Classic Custom in Himalayan Blue

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

I am sure there is some joke about a Yeti in here somewhere but I am too busy drooling over the finish of our Guitar of the Day to come up with one. Just arrived to Guitar Adoptions, our Guitar of the Day is the G&L ASAT Classic Custom in Himalayan Blue. The literal translation of Himalaya is “abode of snow”, all I know is that this G&L ASAT Classic Custom in Himalayan Blue is one cool guitar…you see what I did there?…

The G&L ASAT Classic Custom in Himalayan Blue comes with Tinted Gun Oil maple neck and fretboard, Pearl pickguard and white body binding.

Guitar of the Day – G&L George Fullerton Signature Model (Late 90′s)

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Our Guitar of the Day comes from our Pre-Owned inventory although the term Pre-Loved is applicable here as this guitar is as mint as they come. We proudly offer to you, the G&L George Fullerton Signature Model(Late 90′s).

The Fullerton is a tribute to George Fullerton’s work at Fender, Music Man, and G&L specifically his contributions to the Fender Stratocaster.  The Fullerton was originally designed as a ’57 Stratocaster clone, but this strict configuration quickly changed when a slab rosewood fingerboard was made an option.  Vintage narrow frets are standard on the model as well.  According to G&L researcher Paul Bechtoldt, the pickup design was based on the blueprints drawn by Mr. Fullerton in 1954 for the Fender Stratocaster.

The G&L George Fullerton Signature Model Features:

PICKUPS 3 G&L vintage style Alnico V single coil pickups

BODY WOOD Alder on all solid finishes, Swamp Ash on all “see-through” finishes

NECK WOOD Hard Rock Maple with Rosewood fingerboard; late 50′s soft “V” shape rear contour

NECK RADIUS 12″ (304.8mm)

NECK WIDTH AT NUT 1 5/8″ (41.3mm)

TUNING KEYS Schaller non-locking

BRIDGE G&L Dual Fulcrum tremolo

CONTROLS 5 position pickup selector, volume, 2 tone (treble roll off)

FINISH Tobacco Sunburst

OTHER Chrome hardware; Upgraded Creme pickguard; includes Deluxe Tolex case with plush lining and case candy.
