Musician's Friend has the G&L Tribute ASAT Deluxe Carved Top on sale today. I really like G&L and these are really nice. Just tremendous bang for the buck.

I saw that one too... made me really wish I had an extra $300 lying around!
 
Re: Stupid Deal Of The Day Is A Killer Deal!!!

At the end of last year, they were blowing the GC-exclusive opaque black version out for that price too (normally, the black is translucent over a flamed veneer). I wish I had bought one then. I don't really like the flamey cherry sunburst that's on sale now.

Nonetheless, great bang for the buck!

That really is a stupid-a$$ deal on Musician's Friend's part. They went full-retard, and I might have a NGD in the near future because of it.
 
Re: Stupid Deal Of The Day Is A Killer Deal!!!

I bought one about a year ago, it was act. the S.D.O.T.D. too & I love mine, I kept it stock because it was perfect on arrival, odd for M.F. I know but they're great guitars all around! I call it my "Tele From Hell", really awesome PAF sound to the puppies!
 
Re: Stupid Deal Of The Day Is A Killer Deal!!!

I would love an H-H Tele, but do I really need another guitar? Argh.

These deals are called stupid because they make you feel stupid from thinking so hard.
 
Re: Stupid Deal Of The Day Is A Killer Deal!!!

I have one of these I picked up local. The stock pickups were junk, and the electronics were barely adequate. It hadn't been taken care of either. Dry, fret sprout, dusty, bad/no setup. I got it for nothing, and so I went to work. New electronics, a set of Duncan Phat Cats, fixed the frets, setup, and it is now one of my new favorites! I got the one in transparent black, and it's gorgeous.

Thanks! I have this AND a Bogner Ecstasy blue pedal on the way. I got the Bogner for $180.

I have a lot of gear coming my way.
 
Re: Stupid Deal Of The Day Is A Killer Deal!!!

That's cool, Myaccount.

It'll need some refining, but it's a really solid base for 300 bucks.
 
Re: Stupid Deal Of The Day Is A Killer Deal!!!

I'll see what I think of the stock pickups when it arrives. I'm not going to decide what pickups to put in it unless I know it actually needs something. But that's easy to refine. I'd either stick with chrome covers or go with zebras.
 
Re: Stupid Deal Of The Day Is A Killer Deal!!!

I keep seeing threads everywhere about the SDOTD, where some guy (or guys) score a really nice guitar for not much $. So when I actually remember to go over there and look at the deal, it's always for, like, drum heads or DJ equipment or something. WHich is good, cause I REALLY don't need to be buying any more guitars right now...
Happy NGD to the OP!

The stock pickups are actually "very okay" for playing cleanly and quietly. They fall apart when you start breaking up the amp, though. Unfortunately, the Tribute Series guitars are not what they used to be. They used to come with free gig bags (nice ones too), they all had the same hardware and pickups as U.S.A. G&Ls, and they were made better too. But they're still good, especially for $300 to $400.
 
Re: Stupid Deal Of The Day Is A Killer Deal!!!

I do have a Custom Custom and Alnico II Pro neck laying around if the pickups are "meh" and need to be replaced. If I feel like it though, I'll see it as an excuse to try out pickups I've been meaning to try, like the Pegasus and '59/Custom Hybrid.
