Frito's Better Half
A nice friendly gentlemen showed up today in a very large brown truck. Look at what he brought me.
I don't know what year it is, I don't know what pickups are in it. I know they're SD's and that this thing looks absolutely brand new. Not a mark, not a scratch, or a divot in the frets.
USA G&L ASAT Classic in butterscotch blond. I found where SX got their tele neck profile and fret size from. This bad boy, that's where. The SX tele I had was an absolute dead ringer for this neck.
The profile of the neck is just awesome. I was a little worried, after playing a MIM Strat, MIK Bullet, and MIM 50's strat these past few practices with their small and narrow necks. It would cause my hand to cramp up after just a few songs. But not with this baby. No way no how. Real nice and beefy, and the frets are great. Very well rounded, polished, and great profile.
The body is a little heavy, but fine by me. I like a little heft. It's real resonant. The G&L website says it's Alder, but hell, it could be ash and I couldn't tell ya
My only two problems with it (and you won't hear me complaining) is the plastic nut, and the fact that it's just too clean.
Dave, thanks a million dude. You're truly awesome, and if you ever need anything, and I mean anything, don't hesitate to let me know.
*Edit*
Since I now have Dave's permission, I shall name her Mallory. My first girlfriend back in kindergarden, and also the first blond I can remember. So Mallory it is guys.
