I play mostly guitar driven rock/blues/funk 60's/70's a little 80's/90's
along w/my own stuff which is a mish mosh of 70's rock/funk. These days I'm playing through a Fender Deville (2 12's) I also with play through a modified Peavey Musician 1/2 stack which I process up a bit, but mainly for this guitar I keep it simple. Guitar/ amp /chord

I was looking for versitility and distinction. This is the package!
It can twang out Skynyrd on the clean channel w/single coil, and crank up the gain and it's "Can't you hear me knockin time"

W/the processor a little more gain,chorus,delay,reverb tune to Eb and
I can nail "runaround" with this guitar better than most the others!

What I'm saying is this guitar has many personalities.

I do not need to bring a bunch of my guitars to jam anymore, which is why I bought it, it also happens to look great!

It stays in tune, although it took a while to get used winding my strings through the open tuners but no real complaints.


I've heard people claim they get strat to les paul sounds out of these guitars...I disagree. This guitar is not phat like a strat. It does'nt need to be. You can do so much w/this guitar but when you want to play Stevie, put it down and use a strat. It can get closer to what a lester sounds like but there is still a difference. If I could only have one guitar (perish the thought) this might be it!

I bought this used, it was well maintained and I have not had any issues

Live playing? what other kind of playing is there?

It's solid

Never needed anything.

Hope I never do.

I've been playing for 25 years (holy shit!) I better get a band together!

Someone steal it? Never would happen!

This is a 1996 G&L Deluxe. It has a flame maple top that is absolutely stunning. It has two buckers with a coil tap and chrome hardware. It came with a hardshell case. It's a very simple design, yet everything is made with great care and quality. This is the best of the asats. Hands down.

This guitar is so killer. I play this through a Two Rock Emerald Pro, Trainwreck Climax, and a Diezel VH4. It sounds gorgeus through every one of them. The dynamics are unbelievable. Pinch harmonics and harp harmonics ring gorgeusly all over the neck. Clean it has a snappy response to it, and overdriven it's articulate and warm. Roll back the tone knob and you can really nail the jazz feel. Lukather to Carlton to SRV, you can get the sound with this guitar.

It came straight from the factory with a great setup. I had to tweak the saddle height a bit for my personal tastes, but that's it. The top is absolutely stunning and there is no flaws in the binding like you would usually find in a gibson. It is very quiet, unless you flip the coil tap of course, and it resonates more then my PRS or Gibsons do.

I've played this guitar for years with no problems what so ever. I put strap locks on all my guitars and they don't wiggle out or anything. There still isn't a scratch on this guitar.

I've been playing 32 years and this is one of my favorite guitars. The only guitar that can compare is my one off fender nocaster (which cost three times as much.) I recently bought another one because I loved it so much! My collection consists of vintage fenders, gibsons, prs's, and rickenbackers and G&L is one of the best!

I wish they came in a blue burst, but the cherry burst is still awesome.

Beautiful flame top in cherry burst. Impeccable. Same as everyone else's.

Very full warm sounding and it can get real evil wicked sounds on the bridge pickup. The coil tap gets the single coil sounds down. The pups aren't noisy at all, and I find it good for the many styles I play (from blues to metal.) I play this through a Matchless, Bogner, or Rivera amp and it's gorgeus.

Everything was awesome. Better set up then my prs was.

Nothing has happened over the few years I've had it. Rock solid.

Never needed to talk to them.

Best guitar I've ever owned. That includes custom fenders, PRS's, Gibsons, McInturffs and many others.

Mahogony Body with Flamed maple cap finished in a beautiful honey to chery sunburst, birdseye maple neck, ebony fretboard, shaler tuners, dual jb humbuckers (splitable), 1 vol, 1 tone, class all the way!

I have run the gambit of solid body electric guitars over the last year or so from les paul to strat, ibanez to tele. and this is the guitar i settled on as my one and only, with the splitable humbuckers i can go from very twangy tele to very FAT les paul type sound, and everything in between, the best of the best in my opinion.

other than a slight amount of nut work, (which i have had to do on every gutar i have ever owned save one) this gutar was set up great, highly polished big fat frets, great for bending to an action that you could almost fret by blowing on, and the paint job, WOW!..Just a great axe!

It had better stand up as like i said, it is the only solid body I own, I always take my archtop as a back up, but really only for a busted string in the middle of a set, built like a rock!

A great company to deal with!

If this guitar was ever stolen or lost I would try and find another that day, and I would know that being a G&L guitar the next one would be just as nice!

This guitar is a 1997 ASAT Deluxe Thinline without an F-Hole featuring a beautiful curly maple top and mahogany back. It's a very light guitar and very comfortable. The controls are much the same as you'd find on your typical tele, but there is also a coil splitting toggle. Seymour Duncan pickups (59/JB)
It's not a very complex guitar, but it's simple and elegant, and it does its job flawlessly. That's why I'll have to give it a 10.

This guitar does anything from surf to hard rock. The humbuckers are incredibly clear, but also extremely warm. By just strumming the guitar, you get fantastic resonance and balance. With the coil splitting, it's possible to get a vast variety of tones. In the split position, it's possible to get strat to almost tele-like tones. In the hum position, you get a nice Les Paul-like tone. It suits me perfectly...

This was a used guitar, so I can't judge the set-up, but what I got was a perfectly playable instrument with very low action and no buzzing. The frets are nicely done and very easy to bend, etc. The neckjoint is airtight. Every detail is well attended to. The finish is incredibly deep and beautiful (Cherry Sunburst). The top is heavily figured and the flame appears to be almost 3-d. Incredible

I haven't played with this live yet, but I have no fears in doing so. Everything i can see is solid and well constructed. My only fear is damaging the beautiful finish.

Haven't dealt with the company. I doubt I will have to either.

I have been playing for about 2 years, and this is my first high-end instrument. I play this through my Fender Deluxe Reverb reissue, and it makes me proud every time I play it. If something happened to it, I could not afford another one (being these easily sell for 1500 new and used ones aren't easy to find) To anyone that is looking for extreme quality at an affordable price, I'd suggest looking into G&L. This is my first G&L guitar, hopefully not the last. A fantastic instrument!

This is a 99 from California. 22 frets, 2 Humbuckers (Duncan JB and 59), mahogony back, bookmatched flame maple top, Birds eye maple neck and board. Tele style body with 1 volume, 1 tone, and a mini-toggle to split the buckers. Fixed string through bridge. It has a beautiful natural finish.

Played through Boogies, this thing can rock! Very quiet in the bucker setting, a little noisy when split. This guitar sounds really nice in the split position, and sounds like a very mid rangey strat. In the full bucker settings, it is like a very hot Les PAul. It is full sounding without getting muddy.

Perfect off the rack.

I've used it live and haven't had any problems or complaints.

Played for 23 years, and have tried a lot of guitars. Next to My 93 PRS Custom 24, this is my favorite. Very versatile and dependable.
