What I can't understand is why they haven't gone with the saddle lock bridge on this one or, more disappointingly, the Korina Collection? That bridge is infinitely better than the tune-o-matic.
The shape of Ascari GTS is kind of nice.

That Leo link isn't particularly obvious in any of the appointments on these guitars, not to me anyway.

I'm playing my tribute invader more than my USA Legacy and I was thinking
of upgrading to the USA Invader XL.
Craig - any word on when the USA Fiorano GTS will ship and what pickups
will be in the USA model? Is the Tribute Fiorano GTS's MAP close to the
Tribute ASAT deluxe?

I'll really close to ordering a Fiorano GTS.
Craig how long will be before USA versions are shipping (if ever)?

jwebsmall wrote:Craig are the tribute Ascari and Fiorano GTS's being made in
Indonesia or somewhere else? I ask because I'm wondering
if the neck is to G&L specs for the 1 11/16" neck. Sometimes
new models (from other manufacturers) made in Asian factories
use the closest neck profile the factory already has in production
for the first new guitars rolling off the assembly line until they have
had time to retool. In other words is the neck on the Ascari destinctly
tooled for a G&L profile? Or are these new profiles?
