Thank you man....much appreciated 🤓✌
Always look forward to watching your videos Jonathan...your playing is icing on he cake...take care
Thank you Phil✌️🤓

Please note that at 10:39 - 12:05. & 13:09 It should be Bridge pickup instead of Neck Pickup :) Sorry for that!
My thanks to Inigo Zapata for the heads up! :)
Cool!! Nope I don’t play the shamisan at all.. I have enough problems playing this darn guitar as it is!! ✌️🤓
Fantastic playing Jonathan! There's so much soul and feel man.
Thank you✌️❤️
Thanks Jonathan! Great playing and review.
Thank you so much John✌️❤️
Jonathan, Thank goodness for your reviews. It is so nice to listen to someone who has taken the time to get to know the instrument and then demos it in the best fashion possible.
I own 3 G&L guitars and your reviews helped me decide on each purchase. I couldn't be happier with them and I thank you for the thorough research and beautiful playing that you present on your channel.
Thank you Charlie ✌️❤️
That melody that you played as the theme on that jam was FANTASTIC!!! I love your reviews, especially your soulful playing. Peace and keep rockin’!
thank you kindly
Very soulful, heartfelt playing. Thanks man
Thanks brother ✌️❤️
Man the amount of emotion that go in to your playing is incredible well done!
Thank you ✌️❤️
That demo was just fantastic Jonathan! You have such ability to communicate with a guitar. Thank you for sharing! Love G&L guitars. So wish I’d bought one when they first came out. I remember the first runs were literally half the price of Fender because they needed to build a base reputation.
Yes...I also made a mistake in not getting one way back then 🤓✌️
This is the ONLY CZcams review of this model worth watching!
Thank you very much.
Glad you enjoyed it!✌❤
Wow, you are an excellent player! Hard to really judge how much is coming from the guitar now... Love how you played the swells. Such dynamic and deliberate playing--you don't see that often with guitar reviews like this. Great work.
Thanks a lot!✌🤓
Sounds amazing with great playing as usual!
Thank you ✌🤓
Hello again my friend. Exceptional tone and touch as always. You are such an inspiration. Thank you so so much for taking the time to share. At 64 I’ve learned a lot from your channel. Your a treasure and a breath of fresh air.
Hi Bill! I’m glad to be able to inspire...age is no barrier when it comes to music. Keep it up! God bless ✌️🤓
Beautiful playing in the demo! Thanks!
Thank you✌️❤️
love your G&L reviews and Really love to just listen to you play the blues. 👍
Thank you kindly!✌🤓
Love your playing; you play with feeling, almost a lost art. Great demo of the exact Bluesboy I'm wanting to purchase.
Thank you John ✌️❤️
Outstanding playing! I could listen to that all day!
Glad you like it!
Brother, thanx for all good input you give us.
I like your style! Keep up the good work!
youre welcome brother! I enjoy doing this :)
Welp... you did it again! Wonderfully done.👏👏
Thank you kindly 🤓✌️
Awesome review, detailed and with beautiful playing that really lets you see what the guitar is capable of. I hit the like, subscribe and notify buttons without hesitation!
Much appreciated!✌❤
wonderful soulful review! love your playing.
Thank you kindly!✌🤓
Those G & L tones really enhance your style of playing. So fat and full of soul. Jonathan your a real soulful player. This tele is Leo’s finest hour, a telecaster taken to the next level.
I totally agree.. one of the best that Leo designed✌️❤️
Very Nice playing, very musical and inspired ! Great ! Thank you for this presentation !
My pleasure ✌️❤️
Such a nice guitar and such nice playing as usual. Thanks.
Thank you! I’m going up to Vancouver soon! ✌️🤓
Less than 5 minutes in and I’ve already clicked “subscribe.” I have the ASAT Classic Tribute tele and it is my favorite guitar. Been wanting a thin line style and you’ve sold me on the Bluesboy. Love your style and looking forward to more of your content. Thanks!
Welcome aboard! Join me on tomorrow's live stream if you can!✌♥
Hi there James
Did you buy the bluesboy?
What are your thoughts?
Thanks
Thanks, great review, great playing.
Thank you John ✌️❤️
You play with beautiful emotion and soul bravo
Thank you✌️❤️
Nice & clear test Thank you from French area!!
Merci~✌♥
Your heart is so much into what I just heard pour out of your playing :)
Thank you 😀
I was looking at reviews of this humbucker on the neck G&L asat Bluesboy and was blown away by how closely it resembles the tones I get from my humble homebuilt teak wood Tele.
Awesome review, 👍
Teak wood .. nice.. Thanks✌️❤️
Excellent demo - guitar played with feel rather than speed just for the sake of it , very impressed with the guitar , and will watch for future reviews.
Thank you Philip.. I hope you have subscribed✌️❤️
Very tasty playing. Thanks for the review! With the added warmth of this bridge pickup, it's a good thing you made that correction because I wouldn't know! Great demo.
Glad you liked it! Please Subscribe to the channel if you havent!!! ✌🤓
Really stylish playing and great tones!
Thank You✌️❤️
I always enjoy your playing I am sure you can make any guitar sound great.
Thank you ✌️❤️
Really enjoyed your playing, truly amazing cover of tuesday's gone. I was going to get a fender tele but i'm totally sold on the G&Ls now. Keep rocking!
stuart mcnulty thank you Stuart✌️❤️
They are great guitars
Made in Indonesia, they make good guitars
Obviously not the resell of USA made but two to one and still very respectable
Excellent quality
Very very nice playing! Beautiful and great sounding guitar! You can definitely make that guitar sing! I have been wanting one of these and now I am really hooked! Great review!
Thank you so much!✌♥
I could listen to you play for hours and hours. If you have a CD I would love to have it. If you don't, you should record one. Very very relaxing. Thank you for this review and your talent!
Thank you so much brother!✌️❤️
Great demo from a great player and for a truly great axe! My favorite guitar (to play and hear) ever, bar none. BTW, yes the middle position is super.
Thank you !😀
GREAT video, thanks. I have one of these as well and it's fantastic! I replaced the nut and the frets really needed to be polished but once they were... a steal of a guitar.
Nice ✌️❤️
You’re too good man. Seriously. Amazing playing. From the heart. Really good.
Glad you enjoyed it!✌️❤️
Wow....so nice....love the playing sooooo much 👏👏👏👍
✌️❤️
Hey Jonathan, your video helped me a lot to decide to buy this asat tele. I‘m very happy. Thanx a lot - Mathias from Berlin
My pleasure✌️❤️
A Satisfaction Guarantee comes with this channel. So tasteful, smooth presentations every time.
Typed in ASAT Classic and almost bought one of these Tributes, used, because they’re a few hundred bucks... did more research and these are all tone monsters, with these legendary pickups.
A little more research and heard their Alnico twang, was convinced this is the Tele I’ve always wanted. Just wasn’t getting that from the Thinline Deluxe.
Again, a fraction of the price... of Friedman, Macmull, and Fender Custom. All the tone.
Yes..even though they are Indonesian made, I guess the G&L QC made sure that the guitars were made to the highest standard. This guitar was really well made.🤓✌️
That is a great review ………… If I were G&L I would certainly think about getting you involved in doing video demo's on their range, they have some fantastic guitars, and you certainly made that ASAT Tribute sound wonderful
Mike Woods thank you Mike🤓✌️
New sub here but THANK you for your work!!! Excellent reviews and demos every time!
Thank you...glad you are enjoying the channel✌️🤓
Wow, your playing is so emotive it brought tears to my eyes!!!
Thank you ✌️❤️
Dude, the guitar is great and love your touch!
Thank you!!✌🤓
Cheers, great review, Im sold!
LT Konishi ✌️❤️
What a player , you would do any guitar justice , you have sold me on that blues boy 🎸🎸
Thank you John!
Jonathan i am so greatful for your info. You are very likeable here in the U.S. Your skills are note worthy. Learned alot from you. Thanks for your sincerity all these great presentations. You are awesome. G-dbless your journey.
Thank you Anthony!!😄✌️
That's a beauty! I love the natural finish and tortoise shell pickgaurd. On top of that, it sounds great!👍😎🎸🎶
Thanks...yes it’s a beauty..both in looks and tone✌️🤓
Thanks Jonathan for a very informative review. I bounced back and forth between the model you purchased (hope the wife was ok about it eventually!), and the ‘blonde’ version with the Rosewood fretboard and a very yellow-looking neck. Your review helped me to decide - I’ve gone for the Maple version and will change the pick guard to black. Then comes the important bit - learning to play even a fraction as well as you. Superb stuff.
Awesome!!! great choice!!
I find myself coming back to your channel. I like your playing! 😊
Welcome back! And thanks!!
Beautiful guitar Jonathan, I enjoyed every peace of music that you play with it. Thank you for your work In this Chanel, and you are a very lucky man trying and playing so many guitar styles. I hope that your wife continue supporting you in that regard.
Be safe and watch out that big guitars wall behind you, could end smashing you.
Thank you✌️🤓
Nice and soulful playing
Thank you ✌️❤️
I'm a year late , but WOW ! for me this is an amazing video. Love the guitar as is . but very nice to Feel your playing !! Hats off Well done .
Thanks a lot!✌🤓
Nice playing Jon!
Thank you kindly!✌♥
Great sound and Sustain !
Thank you ✌️❤️
Loved this video Jon. Yup! I get it. I walked into a music store in minneapolis minnesota in 1991 and bought a leo fender signature G/L Skyhawk with mfd pick ups. Played it in bands 30 years as a main axe. I genuinely bonded with that guitar.
That is so awesome!’ 30 years!! ✌️❤️
I commented about your great playing and that very nice sounding guitar a couple of weeks ago. I have been thinking about buying a G&L for a while, and today I had one like this one ordered (not in stock at my nearby store). I hope to get it NLT this next weekend, and I am definitely looking forward to it!
I'm excited for you! ✌♥
Great playing!
Thank you
I really enjoyed watching this video Jonathan. I have just ordered a similar G&L ASAT Bluesboy and I am now really looking forward to receiving it. I won’t be playing it quite as good as you my friend 😅. What fantastic playing. You have such a talent. Thank you for a great video 👍🏻
Thank you ✌️❤️
You Da man!!!! Love your skills dude.
Thank you Robert. ✌♥
Lovely demo and great playing . I was looking for a budget Tele recently -Squier CV Fender Player and the last one was a G and L ASAT Tribute and it was my favourite. Felt great , big frets, awesome pickups . This Bluesboy sounds great too but unfortunately most stores are closed just now and I don’t think the place I was in had a Bluesboy . Thanks for the video 🏴
Thank you David.. glad it was helpful✌️❤️
What a great sounding guitar!!! Sure, I figure that balancing the sound of the humbucker on neck position and the bridge can take some little adjustment, but the output and clarity of the sound are amazing... good purchase bro', and great review.
Thank you Jon! :)
Amazing playing!
Thank you!✌❤
Nice review. Thinking about pulling the trigger on one of these. Some fine playing as well. 🤟😎🤘
Thank you✌️❤️
Outstanding
✌️🤓
Proof that the sound is in the hands - and you my brother have great ones. 🖖🏼
Thank you✌️❤️
Great playing and really good review
Glad you liked it!✌♥
@@JonIsJustTooLoud you have a great style and musicality, I'm surprised I've only just discovered you on the g+l asat reviews!!!
Thanks. Now I want one.
I was googling this guitar and look where it brought me :D Nice sounding indeed and so true about music shops still being needed as Im starting to me sick and tired of returning guitars with defects bought online! I really just want to go into the shop and try it and buy it if I bond with it!
Yep... Me too ✌️🤓
Yep... Me too ✌️🤓
sweet... very sweet playing
Thanks a lot!✌♥
Great review
Thanks man ✌️🤓
Beautiful guitar. I love this thing. Looking on Reverb now! Thanks for sharing.
You are most welcome Mark 🤓✌️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Noticed that you are now above 4k in subs! Congrats !
Thank you Mark!!!!🤓✌️ Thanks for your friendship and encouragement 😄
Come on Jon, you are not that loud... Till now never had the chance to hear you from France ;) top channel ! Cheers
merci~✌😆
Hi, Jonathan, I’ve been watching and commenting your video for some time now! I recently got into a student band as a rhythm guitar player. I really want a guitar that gives the bright twangy tone to give a good bite to the rhythm. But sometimes I want to play some r&b, soul stuff. So this bluesboy is becoming my dream model!
Go for it!✌💚
You know your guitars mr. Inspiring for sure.
Thank you ✌♥
Great guitars. I have an orange one. My go to sound is with the switch in the middle position.
Nice!
Excellent review! It's a beauty Jonathan, good luck with it. A semi hollow Tele is on my list. I had a Squier Classic Vibe Thinline once. It had an incredible tone. I can honestly say, for sound, it competed with my 66 Jazzmaster. However the neck was too thin and narrow, so I let it go. I tried the Fender 72 Thinline, didn't like the neck. The Squier version of the 72 , I felt had a better neck for me. This G&L looks like a sweetheart, wonderful tone. I'd love to check one out, then again if my wife sees another guitar come through the door it'll be WWIII. Anyway, thanks for the great review.
Lol! Do like what my friend did...sneak the guitar in ..in the dead of the night...🤣✌️
Johnathan your videos are great.i saw this and went out and got a left handed version minus the f-holes.
Cool ✌️❤️
I used to have the USA model, and shouldn't have sold it, I loved the neck pickup, tuning stability, weight and more... great guitars
Totally agree!✌♥
Jonathan, you are a very cool guy. I like the way you play.
Thank you Daniel✌💙
Bought a used one on Reverb in large part due to this video.
Pros: Gorgeous guitar, fit and finish above average, saddles, neck. Bridge pickup has some gnarly bite which I love.
Cons: In dire need of a fret job. Ten of the frets need leveling and then crowning. Granted this is a used guitar but the frets shouldn't be that off.
Not sure: The electronics and the neck pickup. The neck pup sounds awesome and suited to your style. It's a little dark/muddy for me.
Verdict: Would buy again. Wouldn't recommend the used one I bought to someone without setup and soldering skills but the plusses far outweigh the minuses.
✌😀
Tmi/personal story. Your voice sound like my uncle. I cried so bad when I watched one of your video for the first time. Thanks for the videos.
“Hug” 😊
Beautiful ^^
Thank you✌️❤️
Nice and I liked the guitar too
✌️❤️
I know this an old post and I don't know if you still read the comments,but I just had to share my experience with G&L guitars.I recently bought a G&L tribute asat classic bluesboy solid body and I couldn't be happier! My experience with this guitar has been very similar to yours.At first,I thought the neck pick-up was a bit muddy,but after playing awhile I found that it is just different,but in a good way.I have grown to really like this pick-up.The middle position works well,I rarely use this combo on my other guitars,but like it on this one.Bridge pick-up is way snappy and bright,took a bit of getting used to it,but I haven't changed anything on this guitar,and I bought it with the plan of putting Duncans in it.I got this guitar at a ridiculously low price,it was a Demo from Sweetwater and they knocked off $60 because of a barely noticeable scratch on the control plate.Out of the box,a great playing guitar,built rock solid,G&L will be the choice for me from here on for Leo Fender designs.
cool..glad you had a great deal!!✌🤓
Most people who review don't take the time to work with the guitar prior to the review. I used to own one of these (wish I hadn't sold it) and the middle position is really amazing sounding. Through a cranked amp it really gives you that "Spoonful" tone.
✌️❤️
You are one the most melodic soloist on CZcams. Nice guitar also.
Thank you brother! :)
Came for the review. Stayed for your soloing. Good stuff, great feel, man. I need a lighter tele than my American built solid. Getting older and my back aches after a couple hours on stage, G&L AST Classic Tele might be the solution. Thanks for the guidance.
This is the one for you then✌️❤️
Just ordered a demo version of this guitar and saved $60. Your talking about the MFD pickups made me research them and what I learned made me select this model guitar. Mine weighs 6 lbs. which should be good for my injured back and neck. I play every day and I need to lessen the back pain. It took me a while but after purchasing many different types of guitars I finally worked it out for myself that I liked the Telecaster the best. Small body, simple design, robust build and tone that I like. Good balance with no neck dive is also a consideration as well as light weight. Thanks for a good video. Oh and I did inform my wife out of respect for her that I was thinking of purchasing another guitar. Now that I have made the purchase I have also talked with her about that, she is ok with my reasons. - Peter age 70
Great choice... and you’re a gentleman in regards to your respect to your wife.. I admire that✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud You are a soft spirit and I know that if you talk to your wife about your reasons for purchasing more gear she will listen. She may have objections which you need to hear, but I am sure her love for you will allow her to trust your reasons for another guitar. She will appreciate it that you talked to her about a purchase before you went ahead and made the purchase without her even knowing about it. She will see you respect her and that strengthens your marriage.
Jonathan-you have a good ear and eye for guitars
Thank you Thomas!✌🤓
You made that instrument sing brother. I just ordered one
with a rosewood board. Thanks for the video.
Cool!! Enjoy yourself✌️❤️
I have one on the way . Ordered the red color with rosewood board.
I recently picked one up used, and had a similar experience to you--it's just a great guitar, there's no difference between the playability or quality between my American PRS or Sadowsky or Fodera. I prefer it 100% over any Fender Tele under $2,000 that I've tried at a music store lately.
happy for you!
3:44 song - I was jamming to "Lights" and it's solo ;). Best Regards and Best Wishes!
Thank you✌️❤️
very likable fellow
Jeff Shuck my mama would be glad to hear that! ✌️❤️
