Members Excelsior Posted July 7, 2006 Members Share Posted July 7, 2006 So, I don't have pics. Anyhow I wanted to know if these two guitars were a decent deal or not, or if the squier is a decent player at least. I saw these at a local pawn shop The Squier was a "Squier By Fender" 80s looking guitar. It had a Floyd Rose, H-S-S configuration, no pickguard, and looked NOTHING like a strat. It was a VERY deep, rich dark blue. Also, the font for "Squier" was this different looking cursive. The font that said Squier was in all black on the headstock. It was $129.99, anyone ever seen these or got a pic? The other was a G & L Asata Telecaster. It looked beautiful, at $79.99, however I've never heard of them. Anyone have any experience with these?

Members Sambora#2 Posted July 7, 2006 Members Share Posted July 7, 2006 Dude, a genuine G&L ASAT at that price, under 80 bucks is a steal. Two things could be apparent here, it is either a fake or the guy doesn't know what he is selling. Check also if it is the TRIBUTE line by G&L. The Squier could be a Showmaster.

How would I be able to tell if it's a GENUINE Asat? Will it say Tribute on the headstock? If it doens't, and it just says G&L ASAT, what should I look for to make sure it's not a fake?

Members Excelsior Posted July 7, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 7, 2006 The squier looked like this EXCEPT1. it was HSS2. The headstock is flipped around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sambora#2 Posted July 7, 2006 Members Share Posted July 7, 2006 Having never bought an axe from a pawn shop b4, I would ask the guy to hold it for you (if it costs you a deposit, so be it). Get the serial number and see if you can verify it with G&L.FWIW, here are some pics.G&L ASAT ClassicTRIBUTE ASATAs for the Squier,Hope this helps.

Members Sambora#2 Posted July 7, 2006 Members Share Posted July 7, 2006 You beat me to it with a pic of the squier, I have seen a model as you describe however, and I would be pretty certain it is a Showmaster or Stagemaster as I think they renamed it at some point.

Whatta think batotman, you seem to have gotten through every model of Squier going!! I've heard of G & L, but I had no idea of their value, nor did I know they had a tribute line.I've only been playing for six months and I've learned a hell of a lot in that timeperiod, give me a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Excelsior Posted July 7, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 7, 2006 Well did the Asats get copied a lot? How likely is it that the G & L Asat isn't real? It has been there for a while [at least a few weeks...] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
