G&L ASAT Classic Bluesboy Semi-Hollow

[SepaXP]

awesome - what pedals , settings do you use to get this killer tone ?

[ASAT64]

@SepaXP

Thank you very much! I'm using a Boss - ME-50 for my pedals. In the first part, some delay and overdrive. The second part is clean with some basic delay, all from the Boss -ME-50. The amp is a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. Thanks again, Peace, Don~

Hi! I'm about to order a Bluesboy but I can't decide if I want the solid body model or the semi hollow without the f-hole. My main concern is that the semi hollow will be neck heavy or not as well balanced when standing up. What are your experience? Unfortunately I can't try one out before I decide because there are no G&L's around where I live. I really like the tone from both models though, and I like light guitars but not to light and it needs to be well balanced. Great playing by the way!!

[ASAT64]

@LosJonasson

I’ve owned both models, semi and solid. I’ll say they both were not at all top heavy. They all felt wonderful and extremely balanced. If I may add, please make sure, when inquiring about any G&L; ask what the exact neck profile is. Most G&L’s do not feel the same, mainly because the proprietor ordering them creates their own vision. This is one of the main reasons I’ve had to unfortunately sell off most of my G&L collection. Hope this helps, Thank You, Peace, Don~

Hi Don. How does your guitar react to high gain / loud volume settings? Does it feedback too much?

Cool tune BTW

[ASAT64]

@gullywoots

Unfortunately I don’t own the guitar anymore. Had to sell it because this particular guitar neck profile was a bit large for me. I miss it terribly! To answer your awesome question, not a problem whatsoever with loud volumes or overdrive settings. The G&L Bluesboy SH handles all of these issues with ease my friend. Thanks for commenting, Peace, Don~

[plassma]

great sound. My bluesboy just came in today! what kind of amp are you playing through?

[ASAT64]

@plassma

Thank you, congratulations on your new baby! They really are sweet guitars. I’m playing through a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe.

Peace,

Don~

@ASAT64 by the grace of god, that is one amp I already own. great match. keep up the great playing

[terdweiner]

Wow, incredible tone. Is that the Tribute model?

[ASAT64]

@terdweiner

Thank you very much, it's a USA model.

Peace,

Don~

Which Guitar is better for funk? Fender tele or gl asat?

[ASAT64]

In my opinion, both guitars are very good for funk; Im a big Fender guitar fan. I personally think though, the G&L ASAT Bluesboy is a bit more versatile, and the pups are hotter.

Hope this helps, Peace,

Don~

[ASAT64]

You should do soundtracks for porn. This is meant as a compliment of the highest order :-)

[ASAT64]

Lol... Thank you, hey do you know any soundtrack agents?

Thanks for watching my friend, Peace,

Don~

[blargfromouterspace]

I wish I did, Don. I checked out the link to the G&L dealer, I think I'm going to order a Bluesboy. They sound unreal!

[56relic]

Excellent tone, sir. Is that an ash or an alder body? It sounds like alder, just wanted to check.

[ASAT64]

Thank you, I think its an Ash body; the look of the wood is totally reminiscent of most Ash patterns. I bought the guitar at Guitar Adoptions, and I will certainly ask Dave, the proprietor of the business. Peace, Don~

[qtofdog]

Hey Don,

Great playing! Can you tell me about Band In a Box? Which version would you recommend? I'm more interested in basic features rather than some of the full blown pkgs with tons of options. Your thoughts?

[ASAT64]

Thanks for the kind words; unfortunately, Im very old school when it comes to music software. I record with an 8 track Boss digital portostudio. I read up on BITB & Magix software but still was a bit intimidated. Eventually, we both should get in the game and start using the PC or Mac for recording, my only issue; I hardly have enough time to play never mind learning about software. Play & Record is about all I know. :0)

Thanks again, Don~

[ASAT64]

You can also try Harmony Central; its an awesome forum that users and owners review the actual gear. All brands, effects, guitars, software, amps etc

Give it a shot, I love that sight. Peace, Don~

[squierkid]

Thnxs for the help Don! Your my idol :P

[squierkid]

Don, I just love your playing! I play rock, all kinds, and also some pink floyd, would you recommend me a asat classic or an legacy?

[ASAT64]

Thank you so much for the very kind words! Thats a great question but for me; difficult to answer because there are amazing qualities about both guitars I love. If I had to go to battle with one guitar, it would probably be the Legacy Special. If you really want a guitar that can do pretty much anything, please check into that model. Hope this helps my friend!

Peace, Don~

[samuelshepard]

does an ashtray bridge fit over those?

[ASAT64]

I'm not too sure my friend, you might want to check G&L's web site. They just might sell it as an acessory!

[Blustercastr]

I'm amazed!!Great job, i totally love your sound!

[ASAT64]

Thank you very much......... :0)

[ali5it]

[ASAT64]

Thanks so much for commenting and watching.

[pedromoser01]

great job!

[ASAT64]

Thank you very much and have a great day.

Hello,

Nice playing. Is the semi-hollow w/o the f hole a better sounding bluesboy than the solid body BB and the BB with the f hole? If so, how? Thanks.

[ASAT64]

Thank you for watching and commenting. That's a great question; since I have only played a Bluesboy Semi-H with the F-hole, I'm not completely sure. However, the thing I hear about most with the Bluesboy Semi-H without the F-hole is that there is less feedback at high volumes. Again, I'm not 100% sure; I will certainly try and get back to you with a definitive answer my friend. I'm checking out the G&L Forum site which is awesome.

Thanks again for commenting.
