FS: G&L ASAT Semi Hollow

[wingsdad]

EDIT 12-11-08: this thread drew 965 views since May. You can stop looking now, cuz the guitar is SOLD.
Now that I've got my new ASAT Classic Bluesboy Semi Hollow, I mentioned in that thread that I was considering letting this go. I've made my decision, and as of 2 days ago, it's on consignment at my local GAS Station.
EDIT 12-9-08
After taking this off the market in June, I took the neck off to check the final build date in the pocket -- March 5, 2002 -- looks like the folks at G&L enjoyed themselves with the color combo, reminding themselves to give the neck tint a golden cast:



I bought it in April 2006. Since neither the original owner nor I ever gigged out with this guitar, it's in pristine condition, practically mint other than the pickguard showing use, and NOW comes with an equally pristine G&L Vintage Tweed wood-shell hard case by G&G, a significant upgrade from the stock G&L SKB-made molded hardshell case she originally came with that I bought her with. I also picked up a 3-ply white-black-white pg to try out a 'tuxedo' look, so now she'll come with both pg's:



It was custom ordered by my dealer for its previous owner to match G&L's website/catalog model shot:


"Technically", it's an ASAT Special Semi Hollow, but G&L's official model name is simply the ASAT Semi Hollow. Upgrades from Standard Specs are the gold-plated hardware (high quality, heavy plating, at that...not prone to rubbing off if cared for) and glossed gun-oil tinted neck & fingerboard. You can find the specs by locating the model at G&L's site. (Can't link directly to it, because G&L is so old-school their site is setup in 'Frames'.) Go to 'Instruments' in the menu on the left of the Home Page, then select 'ASAT Semi Hollow':

The price tag on it at my dealer EDIT 12-9-08: in May was $999. EDIT 12-9-08: I will see him this week about consignment again and establishing a new price with teh upgraded case and 2nd pickguard. I will net somewhat less than that if he sells it himself. But if anyone is seriously interested in making a reasonable offer, PM me. He won't take a cut if I 'sell' it, but he will charge me shipping. My dealer ships UPS, but you could specify how you want it shipped if you prefer another carrier.

Thanks for looking.
