Lefty Alert: The G&L ASAT Special features G&L's signature Soapbar style Magnetic Field Design pickups. These pickups deliver full frequency response and a bouncy, touch sensitive attack that is reminiscent of a vintage pickup but with much greater output and even response. This guitar evokes the sounds of the Strat®, Tele®, and even Jazzmaster® wrapped in a comfortable fully contoured body.
This custom ordered G&L ASAT Special features:Alder body with Tobacco Sunburst finish, 8.0 poundsFrom and rear body contoursOriginal Leo Spec. 1.625" body depthSatin vintage tint 'Modern Classic' neck, 9.5" radius, 1-11/16" nut widthRosewood fingerboardMedium Jumbo fretsSperzel standard tuners(2) G&L Large MFD pickups3-Ply white pickguardG&L Saddle Lock Bridge (set screw on the side locks the saddles together for better sustain)Volume and Tone Control, 3-way switchPlek® Laser Guided fret finishingG&L deluxe tolex hardshell caseMade in USAList price: $2145The G&L large MFD (magnetic field design) pickup is a wonder of power, clarity, response and tone. Developed by Leo Fender at G&L, the MFD has the touch sensitivity, dynamics and slightly scooped midrange of great vintage single coils, but with much greater tonal flexibility and output. The neck pickup has a glassy quality that is clean and articulate with a nice slightly hollow Strat tone on the upper frets. But its broad frequency response and strong low end make it very versatile, and it can easily mimic a rounder Tele or even a Jazzmaster-ish vibe. Roll off the tone control, and it takes on a warmer character, while still retaining upper and low end definition. The MFD is not just different, it's a real improvement; and the ASAT large MFD is one of the sweetest and most versatile neck pickups available in any guitar.The bridge pickup has plenty of jangle and twang without being too sharp, and is great for clean, crisp rhythm playing. It's very much like a traditional Tele® pickup, but with a top end sweetness that most Tele pickups lack. While not voiced for hard rock, the bridge has plenty of output, and a with a good pedal produces a sparkly crunch that is great for roots music or a little Tom Petty. There is a lot of high end content on tap, so rolling off the tone control a bit yields a thicker, warmer sounding tone. Both pickups together create that familiar twang and cluck that you'd expect, and with great clarity. But there's a sweetness to the top end that keeps it from getting too bright or tiring. Pickers will love this position, and so will rhythm guitarists and fans of California rock like the Byrds and Eagles.This ASAT sports G&L's newest neck profile, the Modern Classic. Slimmer like the old "Slim C", the Modern Classic has a 9.5" radius and a 1-11/16" nut width. The string spacing is the same as their 1-5/8" Classic C necks, and the extra width is there to help prevent string fall off. Players who like an American Fender® neck will take to the Modern Classic. For those who liked the chunkier Classic C, it's still available as an option (along with about eight other choices). The Plek'd® frets have nice rounded ends, and the satin tinted maple neck has a dry, smooth feel that never gets sticky. This guitar also features the "Original Leo Spec" body thickness, which is 1.625" instead of the standard 1.78". This no-charge option helps shave a little weight off the guitar, and adds an extra measure of comfort. There appears to be no sonic downside, and with many players looking for lighter weight guitars, the OLS option is a no-brainer.With its MFD pickups, this guitar is great for blues, roots, or country, but also has the output and presence to grind out tasty rock crunch. Once you've gotten used to the hypnotic clarity, power and versatility of G&L's MFD pickups, conventional pickups sound a little thin and uninspiring.The G&L ASAT Special looks familiar, but it stretches beyond the humble roots of its classic predecessors to render both traditional and modern sounds, with Custom Shop quality at an off-the-rack price.
