There is a really nice looking one, but not a Tribute, in the store here. I have not played it, but it looks really sweet.

    By now you've probably figured out that my credit limit is much higher than my talent quotient.

    Aeolian-
    Congrats on that gorgeous custom ASAT...with the S500 setup, it probably smokes any Nashville Tele.

    Guess I should have kept on going to the G&L Discussion site (guitarsbyleo.com). I had no idea they've gone to Indonesia now for the Tributes, but it really comes as no surprise. Thanks for that very good info on identifying them. The earliest Korean-made ones, like my '03 ASAT Special, were very good.
