New (used) electric and new amp

[davidbeinct]

Picked up a barely used G&L ASAT Tribute and a Spark Mini to go with it. I thought it would be fun to play some Lightning Hopkins and John Lee Hooker type stuff on.

Two thumbs up and a snap from this G&L fan!

Those sparks are supposed to be pretty great. What's your impression?

(Very) early impressions-the tones for the various amps are amazingly realistic, but shrunk by the speaker. There’s just no replacement for displacement. As a practice amp that won’t anger neighbors and/or significant others, it’s really something.

@GGJaguar , is the neck humbucking pickup on the G & L set further away from the neck than on a Fender
of the same type? I have always wanted one of these, but something seems a bit off to me. Is it just me?

@davidbeinct , pretty guitar. Is is white or a really pale (Sonic?) blue?

It’s called cream but it definitely has a blueish tinge. Lighter than sonic blue though.

I never paid attention to its position. It's one of G&L's most popular models so they must be doing something right.
