Please cover the Tribute. Thank you for all of you hard work.

I'd love to see a deep dive of the tribute series. 👍🏻

Why doesn't Fender do a LOT of things?

That purple is 😘👌🏼

This was great fun. Thanks so much, Phil! - Dave McLaren

Loved this project!! They once, on a whim, let me and my brother tour their entire factory and go in Leo’s office. After that, I played the guitars and was in love. G&L is all I own now. Love that company so much.

I love my G&L ASAT Classic Tribute semi-hollow w/ double binding (no comfort cuts and ashtray bridge w/ 6 brass saddles), ordered from Sweetwater in 2021. Great tones, great playability. Definitely my favorite guitar (but in all fairness each one of my 7 guitars is definitely my favorite guitar.)

[jackcardinell]

Yes Phil, please review/demo the ASAT Tribute. I have a 2015 and I love it. G&L 's are so under appreciated and underestimated!

[ProbableCauseBluesBand]

I “discovered” G&L last year. Now I own 5 ASATs. Fantastic guitars!!!

Good review, and what surprised me was the "pinch" screws to pull the bridge saddles together as well as in the bass or treble direction.An absolutely genius design that can allow for more precise alignment of the strings over the pickup poles, as well as the issue of end saddles trying to slide their strings too close to the edge of the neck. Kudos to Leo and G&L for that. I wish I had that on some of my old Fenders where I now use zip-ties to pull the saddles together.

Thank you for including the metric measurements. Makes it more in depth for us on the other side of the great pond.

This guitar sounds and looks really nice. MFD pickups are a neat innovation Leo Fender did. Interesting to see how he kept pushing his original ideas and modifying and changing and combining things.

Tribute would be nice. Maybe a Comanche model? The Z pickups seem really interesting and it would be nice to hear your opinion on them! ❤ Thanks for the great videos

[mattbrillhart]

LOVE everything about this guitar. I used to hate the pickup aesthetics but now it’s a key thing I like about the design. The sounds are amazing!

[marzarnold]

Glad I found this series of videos. What a great build from G&L. Couldn't believe how much work into just the neck. Very nice. Never heard of the ASAT before, now that I have I believe I want one. Just congrats all the way around. Impressive. I hope it's one of your favorites.

[Vincent.Blanchard]

Thank you. I learn something from you EVERYTIME I watch a video. You are the Man.

[robf.]

Tribute deep dive, yes. Bass once a month, yes.

[johnr]

Great review of the guitar that represents Leo's continuing to change, modify and improve his original designs. I recently bought a 95 G&L John Jorgenson Broadcaster with ASAT pickups. As in your video the pickups offer a lot of tone variations and sound fuller. Backing off the tone control gets things changed up too. Thanks for the review

[imwoody]

Their bridge design is sweet. So nice to rest your hand on👍

Congratulations on 400, 000 subscribers! Great review.

Love that purple metallic. It’s Danish Pete approved. This really should be a core color offering for Fender and others.
