New G&L Day

Post by vintage52 »

Just recently got this.

Sold the LP Studio I had as I don’t seem to gel with humbuckers.

And then bought this.

Needs new strings but feels very nice in hand.

Bridge has been blocked so not tried vibrato yet.

Liking it so far.

very, very nice! I LOVED my G&L ASAT Special, what an amazing guitar that was. How is that bridge compared to a traditional offset bridge?

I've never played a traditional offset.

This is my first foray into the offset world.

Nice one. Looks like a decent amount of metal in that bridge too.

The highlight and retraining part for me is the treble and bass knobs and how to use them effectively.

They're great! The variety of sounds to be had in either taming the gain.....pushing the gain.....having a trebly edge with bass rolled off and slowly bringing in the bass to get a rumbly, ratty almost woofy push happening is cool.

The pick ups are single coils. They have a bit more output than the singles on my strat and push the front of a sparkly clean amp nicely.

And the neck is so comfortable!!

Does slip of my leg when sitting but that's probably my slouching......
