People on here gave him a lot of stick recently for "Spam" Emails.
But as a shop, he's great. full set up to your spec on sale, with 6 and 12 month free check ups.
you can talk to him on his live help thing at almost any time of day, and he is stupidly friendly.
located in Stratford upon Avon I believe, I'd call and tell him you are coming beforehand if you are popping in, He'll make sure that the models you want to try and in stock, and out for you to play. You can take in your amp
He also rejects guitars that have mis-matched grain etc.
Here is a G&L he sent back because of the grain: http://www.rguitars.co.uk/blogs/richards-guitars/6940598-an-example-of-a-cosmetic-reject-during-quality-control-g-l-tribute-legacy

I've just bought a Tribute ASAT Special ... and I'm so happy I'd buy another ...
@ monquixote ... maybe even yours .... though I like wood grain and yours is black
Recently having never had a strat I bought a G&L Tribute Legacy and a Fret King Super 60 on the used market, and had them both professionally setup with fret work, intonation and all the rest.
I think they're both great, but both myself and my tech agreed that the Fret King just has more tone coming through. He thinks it is to do with the weight of the bridge - but it surprised me I must say. The G&L does still have a really nice woody twang, and IMO has a ever so slightly nicer neck, and also is looks a bit nicer to me. The Fret King is a bit lighter, and sits really nicely against your body. I suppose if someone said that they were looking at getting a G&L Tribute, I'd have to say they should also check out a Fret King too.
Having said that, I also have a US ASAT, and the same tech reckons it is in a different league to either of those two guitars I mentioned. Certainly it is built like a rock, and also has a lovely thick tone. Its a proper guitar.
I think most people would prefer to have a Fender, but I have to say I really like the G&L's.
Yeah I have a couple of Blue Label Fretkings (the p90 strat one and the tele/strat hybrid) and they're nice guitars. I imagine, as you said, a USA G&L would be in another league, though.
Yes - it was yours I had in mind ...
