The G&L ASAT Special features G&L's signature Soapbar style Magnetic Field Design pickups. They've got the enhanced mojo of a Telecaster® with flavors of Strat® and Jazzmaster® mixed in. More than just vintage, the ASAT Special is a deceptively versatile and modern guitar wrapped in an elegant honey finish.
This custom ordered G&L ASAT Special features:Swamp ash body with Honey finish, 8 poundsSatin light tint G&L 'Modern Classic' neck profile, 9.5" radius, 1-11/16" nut widthRosewood fingerboardMedium jumbo fretsG&L split and drilled 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: $2145Honeyburst is one of our favorite finishes, and looks particularly good on the ASAT. It's flashy, but without looking out of place on such a classic shape as the ASAT. G&L also matched the Honeyburst finish with a rosewood fingerboard that has a nice red-brown hue and it only enhances the interesting grain of the Swamp Ash body.The 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 it's broad frequency response and strong low end makes 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.The Modern Classic neck is one of 10 profiles that G&L offers and it blends a slightly wider nut width with G&L's Slim C profile, and a 9.5" radius fretboard. The wider nut reduces the chance of string falloff, and the slimmer profile and 9.5" radius keeps the extra width from feeling cumbersome. For Fender fans, it's a very familiar feel, and will meet the needs of a broad range of players. Often overshadowed by the more traditional looking ASAT Classic, the G&L ASAT Special has its own unique vibe that provides a catalogue of classic single coil tones with the fidelity and output that modern players expect. Combined with G&L's exceptional build quality, fit and finish and you have a unique USA value with custom shop looks and feel.
