I found it annoying, especially with slides, feels like your fingers are on a very bumpy thing. So I decided not to buy, although I liked the sound of the pickups a lot.
??? Anyway, is this the normal frets and way of fretting of G&L ASATs or did I run into a bad batch? Or is it me and should I get used to it? Not sure, because none of my guitars feel like this. ???
Thanx

The fret size on the Tribute ASAT Special is Medium Jumbo which are the size used on the US ASAT Special.
If you can you might do a back to back comparison with the US models and the Tribute models.
Have you play other recent G&L guitars before and what size frets are on your other guitars?

I am not sure this is true or not , but I am not used to that fret size, so that may explain why it feels a bit awkward or different for me.
