So at my local mom&pop guitar shop this blueburst G&L tribute ASAT special (the tele model) has been sitting there for about two years now, and NOBODY has touched it because they think its a "knockoff" tele...

So anyways, the shop owner is selling it for really, really cheap, and I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge they would care to share...

I want to get a Cheaper guitar before I go to college, since I don't want to bring my Fender Am. Strat to college (I spent about $1300 on it, so i'm definitly not risking someone stealing it).

Should I go for the ASAT?

Thanks guys,
Jim

If you can get a good deal, I'd go for it.

G&L ASATs are superb guitars(as was anything Dear Leo had a hand in) I'd go for it in a heartbeat.

Very True :D I think its funny how its been sitting in the shop for years and nobody dares to play it since they think its just a knockoff fender tele...

I think that you should never judge a guitar before trying it out. 8)

...except for when it really is some cheap knockoff that someone is trying to pass as a real Fender
