The ASAT Super was inspired by the ASAT Junior which emerged from the G&L Custom Creations Department in 1998. The primary design goal of the ASAT Super was to bring substantially more girth to the bridge pickup for overdriven tones, while maintaining the characteristic sparkle of the ASAT Magnetic Field Design pickups and good balance between the output levels of the two pickups. ASAT Super shares neck pickup specifications with the G&L 20th Anniversary model, while the bridge pickup is more heavily wound with lighter gauge wire. To offset the increased impedance of the pickups and maximize available brightness, the wiring of the tone control was altered so that the capacitor would be effectively removed from the circuit when the potentiometer is in the wide-open position. The G&L Saddle-Lock bridge was chosen to maximize power, sustain and comfort.74 instruments have been made as of April 1, 2007.January 2010: Export Sales Department requests factory to build a small quantity of ASAT Super guitars for distributors in UK and Germany. Control arrangement is altered and some different colors guitars are to be made.April 2010: Production of ASAT Super guitars destined for UK and Germany are completed.
