G&L: ASAT Deluxe Carved Top

How's this for a gorgeous guitar? It's fresh offering from G&L (ASAT Deluxe Carved Top), an otherwise Telecaster-looking model save for that curved top. Good news is, it sports a very affordable price tag. Let's see if it will make its way here...

Rampaging QC

I was out & about, trying to get myself a belated present which is an alternative good reason for staying out & coming home late. Anyway, I saw the G&L Rampage, Jerry Cantrell model above. Being a sucker for guitars with a solitary humbucker, I took interest in it as it is $990 (rather affordable at this point in time of my life...). A closer look revealed misaligned strings (against the pickup pole-pieces) so it was a NO. I wonder if:

1. It's the manufacturer's omission in including a Duncan Trembucker version when the Kahler bridge doesn't require such a pickup manifestation (maybe) or,
2. this guitar is a second model, meaning- it has a non-life threatening defect but would sell anyway...

I really don't know. What I know for sure is, I won't be buying it.
