With the G&L ASAT Classic S, versatility is the name of the game. It combines classic Tele® tones with the enhanced dynamics of the G&L MFD pickups, and the added flexibility of a middle pickup for seven total pickup combinations. Not many guitars can cover the sonic ground of the Classic S, making it the perfect go-to guitar for gigging musicians.This is a mint condition guitar that for financial reasons the buyer was not able to hold on to. The plastic is off the pickguard and it's seen a small amount of playing time, but no signs of handling. It's virtually new with all paperwork, warranty card, and hard case.
This new G&L Classic S has the following features:Butterscotch Blonde finish on Swamp Ash with Satin Frost Top Coat, 7.8 poundsBoth Front and Rear body contour for extra comfortG&L 'Slim C' #1A Maple Neck, 12" radius, 1 5/8" nut widthG&L split and drilled tunersSatin vintage tint neckMedium jumbo vintage fretsASAT Classic Neck and Bridge PickupS-500 Middle Pickup, reverse wound5 way pickup switch1-Ply Black pickguardPull volume for Neck+Bridge or All ThreePlek® Fret finishingG&L fitted Tolex Hard Shell CaseThe G&L ASAT Classic S is G&L's interpretation of the "Nashville" style Telecaster that is popular with many session musicians. By adding the middle Stratocaster® -- but in this case S-500 -- pickup this type of guitar is capable of the classic Tele sound plus the funky middle and "out of phase" tones typically available only with the Strat.
With its Magnetic Field Design® pickups, the G&L ASAT addresses many of the typical complaints about the original Tele: Mushy and indistinct neck tones and and overly bright bridge pickup. Keep in mind that the original Telecaster was designed to mimic everything from a string bass -- Fender hadn't invented the bass guitar yet -- to a steel guitar, which essentially where Fender got the bridge pickup design.With the Classic S the addition of the S-500 middle pickup adds the slightly metallic, grainy blues tones you'd expect from this position, but with that extra MFD midrange presence and dynamic range. With its 5-way switch, the in-between positions on Classic S have some spunky out-of-phase cluck, but are a little fuller and more punchy than the typical Strat. While many players crave what we would term "vintage" tones, in reality the demands of live playing and modern tastes have changed the requirements. In all styles of music guitar tones are "heavier" than in the past, and most country bands today are sporting back lines that look more like Creed than Creedence. The G&L ASAT Classic S provides traditional vintage flavors but with the output, clarity and punch that makes it great for both recording and live performances. With its highly flexible morph of Tele/Strat sounds, and the ability to put out some serious crunch, the ASAT Classic S is the perfect go-to guitar for a wide variety of playing situations.We are an authorized G&L Premier dealer located in Bellingham, Massachusetts, and have over 40 G&L’s in stock at all times.
