Think I first found out about G&L when Loobs used to post on the Harmony Central FX forums back in the day (2008-ish?).

Congratulations, it's a lovely guitar and a great story!

wow - who were you on there?

Not going to lie, from your pics both you and the guitar have aged very nicely!

Brilliant story - don't ever sell it again. But do tell me the model, because that looks stunning and I want it! 

Loobs

Lol, cheers. It's an ASAT Special. I have no idea exactly the specs, but the guitar certainly has some factory upgrades, like the tinted amber neck and some kind of nicer dot inlays that aren't just plain black plastic. The neck is also incredibly comfortable, I think it's 7.25" - but not sure.

Think I had the same name on there or something similar. I don't post often on any forums, more of a lurker, so I wouldn't expect people to remember me.

See, with that back story now, that is definitely not just another strat/another Tele. It is certainly special! Lovely story.

@monquixote definitely had it at some point...

Yes indeed I did in 2013.

Gigged it a few times, it's a great guitar.

I traded it for a JS1000 I think which was probably a mistake.

Loobs

Wonder who got it next. Maybe photek didn't have it.

You haven't aged !

Loobs

I have!
