What is this thing? Well, first the facts. Only little is known about the mahogany version of the Bluesboy proper. First the name: I merely duplicate as it appears in the “Special Editions and Non-Production ASAT style guitars” table on the Guitars by Leo (GbL) website; hence the space in the name as also used for the Buffalo Brothers Special Edition (see my ’Contour’). But in the remainder and elsewhere, I will refer to it as the ‘hog Bluesboy’ as it has become known among G&L aficionados. Second, the limited production run in May-June 2005 of 28 of these hog Bluesboys was used to work out the kinks with the new CNC machines purchased by G&L around that time. The body outline, the pickup, control cavity, and neck pocket routing were all done by CNC. Not everything though. The arm contour was done by hand as well as a lot of the finishing and setup work. The 12” radius mahogany neck has a rosewood fingerboard. This Translucent Cherry finished guitar is a true ASAT Classic, with an ASAT Classic 6-saddle bridge and the usual ASAT Classic Magnetic Field Design pickup in the bridge. But instead of a Seymour Duncan (SD) Seth Lover (SH-55N), you will find an SD ‘59 (SH-1N) neck humbucker; an interesting choice given the background of why the SD Seth Lover was chosen for the original ASAT BB (Blues Boy) Special Edition. But then again, Seymour Duncan itself is claiming that the SD ’59 “[w]orks especially well with mahogany bodies and rosewood fingerboards”. And guess what we have here! The link provided above claims this model should be equipped with a (hand-wound) G&L AS4250B (like on my 4-bolt ASAT Deluxe). Of the three other examples of a hog Bluesboy I am familiar with, 2 have an SD ’59 and the third an AS4250B. Hence, I cannot make a definitive statement on which is more common. Unlike other 2004-2005 mahogany guitars, this model came with the standard thermoplastic hardshell case. Beyond the link above, no other information is available.
