Anyone believe this is real?

$460 for a new guitar?

Yes. It's a "Tribute", which is G&L's import. $460 is a little steep IMO.

I'm not sure what the going rate for used Tributes is, but the one I played was pretty nice. Same pups & Bridge as my USA made ASAT Classic. I don't think they are inferior guitars, just not as many options to choose from, and you're not paying USA labor.
(not saying thats a good thing, I like that mine is USA, I'm just saying that the Tributes are quality guitars).

For a G&L Tribute line guitar . . . yup.

I've got the ASAT Classic and an Invader XL, both of which get gigged right regularly.

I just picked up a natural Ash ASAT special yesterday. Has two p90 style pickups. Other than my Strat, it's the best guitar I've ever owned. That includes Gibsons, Gretsch, and others. It's pretty much perfect. For the money, there isn't much else out there that compares IMHO. The fret ends could be slightly smoother, but that's about all there is to fault on it. On a slightly different note, our pastor's friend in California just went and visited George Fullerton in a CA hospital after visiting his wife, and finding they were both so sick that they can't even visit each other. I'm sure they would appreciate your thoughts.

Let's hope they recover soon...
