Members StevenJM Posted November 23, 2007 Members Share Posted November 23, 2007 it's just part of the tree that was used to make the neck. A little knothole i like it. i wish i didn't play in a heavier band so i could buy and use the kind of guitars i'm into. i love single coils.

Members Sauntman Posted November 23, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 23, 2007 Wow... talk about back from the dead!!! :eek: This thread is more than a year old!! As I was going through the threads, I see that my post from over a year ago was brought back to life! Shortly after I started this thread, I ended up buying a MIM Standard Tele in electron blue. I got it new for $325. Had it a little over a year now, I am very satisfied with my purchase. I don't have a digital camera, but it looks just like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members niceguy Posted November 23, 2007 Members Share Posted November 23, 2007 I've gotta put a plug in for the current crop of MIM fenders. IMHO, the absolute best value for guitars. If you hand-pick a good one (not the {censored} from GC), then you'll be hard-pressed to find any real faults with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hard Truth Posted November 23, 2007 Members Share Posted November 23, 2007 I bought a G&L ASAT Tele and had no issues with the sound but i found the neck painful for my hands. I never had a guitar that hurt like that before. It wasn't obvious until I had it for a few days. Fortunately the store let me exchange it for a MIA American deluxe tele which I still love. The MIMs were noisier and just didn't as good a tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members datstrat Posted November 23, 2007 Members Share Posted November 23, 2007 From the looks of people posting, I guess it's still relevant. I guess it always relevant to argue the merits of one guitar over another around here... I just felt stupid because I was offering advice to the OP for a decision made over a year ago.

I'm an old guy. Started playing for money when I was 15, more than 50 years ago. I've owned a lot of guitars over the years. LPs, Teles, Strats, etc. starting with a 1960 Gretsch Duo Jet.For many years my main stage guitar was a 1968 custom Tele, sunburst w binding to which I'd added a Strat pu in the middlea 5 way switch and 25 gauge frets. Sold it years ago. Recently I bought a Korean G&L Tribute blue burst, swamp ash asat. It's a better guitar (after I did a fret job) in every way than any of the old vintage stuff I owned in the past. All G&Ls have US built pups. And they're amazing. Never played a Tele that sounded as good than this guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest they look similar and there the similarity ends, those MFD pickups are wild animals, compared to stock Tele pickups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members speakerjones Posted March 17, 2015 Members Share Posted March 17, 2015 I just recently sold a newer Indonesian G&L Tribute Legacy. Really nice budget guitar. The pickups in it were American made, but were not MFD pickups. They were voiced much closer to classic Strat pickups. I have a G&L SC-3 with MFD's and an AVRI '57 Strat. The Tribute Legacy sounded much more like my AVRI than the SC-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mistersully Posted March 17, 2015 Members Share Posted March 17, 2015 with all the crazy buying and selling i've done, the one guitar i've hung onto for over 10 years is my korean made tribute asat classic... it still gets used a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
