Hmmm, is his working?[/quote]

Nope, no pic...lets see how the IMG tags work. It looks like you have to copy the 'Direct Link' code
from photobucket and paste that between the IMG tags that appear when you click the IMG button above the text box here.

Good to see we will not be losing the pictures. Hey Tim, you might recognize this one

[Craig]

Tim, you've got it now

Note that HTML code will not be translated, you must use the BBCodes provided.
They are much easier to use, once you get the hang of them.

Here is some info on some of the BBCodes used here:

Basic BBCodes are as follows:

Thanks for testing.

[yowhatsshakin]

This is to test potential cropping. So just another picture of one of mine but now full size:


In the preview this looks cropped with the right 10-15% of the picture missing.

[Craig]

Jos,

I have set the max width for images to 1000 pix. If an image exceeds that then a link will be created.
You can then click on the link and the full size picture shows. Will that work for you?

The follow image is 1024x768, so it will exceed the limit.

BTW, that's a nice ASAT you have!

If anyone can install a video of G-200 on You tube I thank him very much.

Hooo ... surprise you can not see video Craig!!

The help text for youtube is: Enter the video ID string -- the video ID string is the part after v= in the URL
Leave out the "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" part of the string and it should work.

here's the video:


Hope this helps.

You don't have enough space on your hard drive to store all those pictures!

My ASAT Deluxe semi hollow ...







... in lefty of course !

[Jim P]

Well, I thought I'd put one of those collection images together. Here are my G&Ls with an updated image:



Of all the G&Ls I've owned, only three others have been sold, and they include a Bluesboy, Legacy, and a Z-3.

[RickT]

Hey Jim, you've got some sweet guitars there. That is quite a nice collection. Do you manage to play them on a regular basis?

1998 ASAT Classic III and two ASAT Classic S from 2004 & 2007



I also love orange...ASAT Classic and a 2000 Legacy

[Jim P]

Hey Jim, you've got some sweet guitars there. That is quite a nice collection. Do you manage to play them on a regular basis?
RickT

Thanks, Rick! You have quite a nice collection as well. For the most part, the Leo-era guitars and a couple of the BBE models remain in storage, especially the "like-new" models. When I'm playing G&Ls, I primarily play the blonde ASAT, the ASAT Classic, the Legacy, and the ASAT Deluxe when I want to use humbuckers. I've been on sort of a Tele kick lately, so they've been getting most of the playing time.

[Marty]

Jim P can you compare the ASAT (top right)
the Jr and the super? (left middle) sound and playability please?

oh, and killer collections both of you

Wow! That's kind of a tough question, but I'll give it a shot. First, the Super and the Junior are much more similar to one another than the ASAT. Both the Junior and the Super have semi-hollow mahogany bodies with no f-holes, mahogany necks with ebony fretboards, but the pickups on the Super are slightly hotter than those on the Junior. Still, the sound of both of them are very similar. They both have a warmer sound than any of my other ASATs, but they definitely lack the sustain of the solid-bodied guitars. I can only compare them to other ASATs due to the inherent qualities of the MFD pickups, but that's about as far as it goes. If you can imagine a scaled-down version of a Gibson ES-330 guitar with P-90 pickups, and then throw in some brighter highs as well as a tighter, but slightly thinner low-end, that's probably about as well as I can explain the tone. Both have 6100 jumbo frets and play very well. Both are obviously BBE-era guitars, too.

The '88 ASAT, on the other hand, is an entirely different beast. It has an all-maple solid body with a maple neck and rosewood fretboard. I've had it refretted with 6105 frets, so it plays like a new guitar while having great string bending capabilities. Sound-wise, I find it to be a great guitar for clean rhythm playing, for it seems to magnify very crisp and clean highs without being piercing to the ear while maintaining well-balanced lows as well, but I've found it to be kind of a disappointment when playing leads. Surprisingly, the guitar doesn't seem to sustain all that well when overdriven through an amp, and some of the overtones seem to become lost as well. It's really difficult to explain, but when I've played the guitar with bands or at jams while playing lead solos, I just never felt that it had the full-bodied sound I had hoped to hear. In comparison to my blonde '86 ASAT, which has a solid ash body, the '86 is much richer in terms of tone while also having much more sustain, but I would choose the '88 ASAT in a flash for clean rhythm tones.

Anyway, I hope that answers the question. Of course, tone is always a subjective thing, and I've never really quite figured out how to put it into words.

Thanks
To say such is the sound, you are very lucky to have these beauties.
I would sit hours to hear what you have to say.

Hey,

So now you have to go eBay and get yourself want of these discarded necks some dumpster diver is putting up there. Use some wonder glue and your in business.

[HLG]

Yeah.. Dale told me the dumpster thing was a problem from day one in 1980 and apparently it still is.
Now.... Where did I put the Elmers?

Hi Guys,

I've created a sub-forum and moved them to it.
Here's the forum: G&L PORN!!!

Thanks, I don't know exactly how bacon sounds, but if it stands for "very good", that would be right.

[Elwood]

Thanks, I don't know exactly how bacon sounds, but if it stands for "very good", that would be right.

Yep, very good...that was from a Bonnie Raitt quote as she was describing her guitar sound.

I'm a vegetarian but I can't deny the seductive quality of bacon .
