I picked up this guitar a few months ago on a really good sale, but I'm noticing that this particular model isn't listed on the G&L website, or anywhere else for that matter. Here are a few images:

It appears to be identical in every way to the Carved Top listed on the G&L site, aside from the finish and plain headstock. If someone here can tell me about it, I'd love to learn more about this guitar. Is it a MF/Guitar Center exclusive model? Or just a different finish that isn't really out in the wild yet?

Welcome!
Yes, this is another MF/Guitar Center exclusive Tribute model. G&L usually does not include dealer exclusive instruments on their main website Spec pages.
I think the only difference between this one and the standard Tribute ASAT Deluxe Carved Top is this one does not have the Maple Top veneer and top binding, has a tinted gloss neck and headstock,
and the Irish Ale body color.
I will check with one of my G&L contacts early next week to confirm whether or not the humbuckers are the same as the standard Tribute ASAT Deluxe Carved Top. As usual, MF/GC webpages
are not quite accurate (they say it has "Top wood: Maple"). Once I get the complete details, I will add it to this post: 2015-present MF/GC Exclusive Tribute Models.
Hope this helps.
