The G&L Comanche is Leo`s final word on the traditional double-cutaway bolt-on axe, and the ASAT Z-3 is like packing a Comanche into an ASAT body. Z-3 Semi-Hollow takes it further with G&L`s distinctive twin voice chambers and f-hole added to a beautiful swamp ash body. Like the Comanche, the first thing you`ll notice about the ASAT Z-3 is the distinctive shape of the Magnetic Field Design Z-Coil pickups designed by Leo Fender himself. These pickups deliver a bright and sparkly top end while offering a robust bottom end, all without any 60-cycle hum. The semi-hollow body brings a certain "hi-fi" quality to the tone, softening the attack and slightly scooping the mids for accentuated highs and lows.You`ll find plenty of power in the Z-coil pickups, but what`s surprising is how glassy and detailed they become as you roll back the volume. What`s more, the ASAT Z-3 Semi-Hollow includes a push/pull tone pot to allow neck+bridge or all three pickups together. In a pinch, the neck+bridge combo does a convincing faux ASAT Special. Talk about versatile! And like the ASAT Special, the Z-3 Semi-Hollow maximizes sustain with Leo`s Saddle-Lock bridge which transfers string energy right into the body end-grain for an incredibly resonant instrument.Founded by Leo Fender in 1980, the Comanche and all G&L USA instruments continue to be made in the historic G&L facility on Fender Avenue in Fullerton, California, the Birthplace of Bolt-on.CONSTRUCTION: bolt-on
