| For sale , my G&L ASAT CLASSIC S . USA made with a reverse wound S500 pickup fitted in the middle position to give some great tones. This has had probably less than an hours play sisnce I bought it. It is in immaculate condition with all the paperwork and will even be shipped in the original box. I have an old Telecaster which is getting all the love and this deserves more. I currently have 4 G&Ls and they are all fantastic, even the tribute series. I bought this one not long after a G&L factory tour, they still produce the guitars the way Leo wanted them made and a lot of the old machinery is still used. It has the original case and a special mint guard and gun oil tinted neck. Offering it at a great price as I have another guitar on the radar! Or maybe an amp , choices….. Happy bidding

Heres some spec from the G&L Website
| In April 2003 the G&L Custom Creations team decided to revisit the theme established by the ASAT Classic Three, using again a third, centrally located pickup and five position selector switch. This time, however, a reverse-wound S-500 middle pickup is installed in the middle position of an ASAT Classic. The basic idea for this kind of arrangement has been long established in the Nashville session player scene, where players often install a Strat® middle pickup in the middle position of a Telecaster® and swap the 3-position pickup selector with a 5-way unit. The G&L Custom Creations Department dediced to build an instrument similar to the formula adopted by the Nashville guys but with a distinctly G&L flavor. In particular, that means a Semi-Hollow Swamp Ash body, ASAT Classic MFD pickups in place of Alnico Tele® pickups, and the S-500 MFD in place of the Strat pickup. The CCD team decided to ice the cake with a push/pull volume pot (changed to tone pot for run #2)that functions the same way as the S-500's mini-toggle switch, enabling additional pickup combinations of neck+bridge or all three pickups together.The "S" designation comes from both internal designation for this instrument, due to its use of the S-500 middle pickup, and "Session" in homage to the origin of this guitar configurat |
