Absolutely awesome concept and well made. I simply did not quite know what jumbo frets were and I did not end up liking it. Overall, I do love everything else about it.

Twang and bite.

Product Review
I've always loved Telecasters but some lend themselves to the twang sound a bit too much. Well this guitar can do it all. With the coil tap you can get that classic Tele tone and go to a nice thick tone with a push or pull of the tone knob. The neck is fast, wide and thick compared to my strat. I also play bass so this is comfortable for myself. A small tweak of the truss rod and dropping the saddles and it is playing great.
A really cool guitar. Love the bridge. Minor blemish on the headstock was a letdown but I'll fix that. All in all it's a sweet guitar for the price. Better build quality than squiers that's for sure.
Only way it gets better is if you get an American G&L for a grand more.

A real beast for the price

Product Review
From the superb tailpiece to the excellent neck, electronics and weight, this versatile and playable guitar is equal to or better than Fender Mexican made reels at twice the price. Made in Indonesia, but still inspected and tuned up is So Cal, I feel this is one of the few made cheAper in Asia guitars (think Sterling by. Using Man, Gretsch, etc. whose knock-offs just do not measure up). This is my current number one as my Strat and Les Paul Junior sit on the sidelines. I own a slightly different model, the classic with two P-90’s, but I tested the all. G and L remains a bargain, but not a sacrifice.

If you’re a player you’ll love everything about this guitar

Product Review
If you’re a player you’ll love everything about this guitar. Just unwrapping it out of the box you sense the realism the professionalism that embodies this guitar. Over the years I’ve been lucky to own at least 25 different guitars spoiled yes I am but please note half of them I really couldn’t call a guitar why? It seems like the builder of that guitar had a bad day and of course I ended up with the results! This guitar is by far one of the best guitars I have ever purchased, hands down, I can easily say more quality and value in this guitar than my gold top Les Paul Gibson! The money I could’ve saved over the years had I’ve been introduced to the G&L asat tribute!
Truly one of the top five of my collection

I’ve been a G&L fan since I got my HHS Legacy back in 2001. I decided to expand my G&L guitar collection and got this ASAT! Great guitar, plays well with serious tone!
I would recommend this one, absolutely!!!!

I will upgrade the tuning pegs, pickups are hotter than I expected. It was delivered with a broken toggle switch.

Great guitar for the price

I work in a guitar shop as a tech. When I first saw this guitar, I didn't realize it was a new line at a lower price point. They look very nice. Aside from "Indonesia" being stamped on the back of the headstock, you'd be hard pressed to tell this guitar apart from a typical G&L in terms of quality. It's put together very well.
I can't really say anything about reliability since I've only played this guitar in a store for ~10 minutes.
Your general opinion of this product.
Overall, I would recommend this guitar. I think it's a great guitar for the price. It plays and feels very nice. I just wish it had a least one single coil pickup instead of two humbuckers. It's a little weird, to me, having two humbuckers on a Tele type of guitar.
It plays and feels VERY nice. The guitar is super light, especially compared to a Fender Tele. The body shape is amazing. Great Telecaster shape, but with a tummy cut and possibly a little thinner. The neck has a great feel to it, not unlike a Telecaster.
The overall tone is good. The tone isn't muddy, without it missing any low end. I'm not sure what kind of pickups are in there, but I'd describe them as generic. I'm not saying bad, not at all. They sound just fine. But no characteristic stood out to me. You will not be disappointed with them, but I can see possibly changing them out down the road to suit your taste better. I'm really just being overly critical about them. The guitar has a master volume and master tone knob. The tone knob is a push/pull that splits the coils of both pickups. It would have been nice to have two push/pulls so you could split one pickup without having to split the other, but maybe that's just a preference thing. I'm not a fan of splitting humbuckers anyway. They never end up sounding like true single coils, so I find it worthless.
This finish is very nice. A nice looking flame top with translucent black or red. I'm not a huge fan of either color for a guitar, but they definitely do look nice. There's also some nice white binding on the body that really pops. It's too bad you can't see it in the generic stock photo.
The guitar is set up pretty well out of the box. I played one that literally just arrived at the store and hadn't been hung up on the wall yet. Maybe it could've used some minor adjustments, but it felt right playing it.
