Here is a beautiful G&L ASAT Classic S with the newly available Okoume body. With a tone wood that looks like Mahogany, weighs like Alder and sounds like a hybrid, Clear Orange has never looked so good. Combined with the enhanced dynamics of the G&L MFD pickups and the added flexibility of a middle pickup, if MacGyver owned a guitar, this would be it.
This new G&L Classic S in Clear Orange has the following features:Clear Orange finish on Okoume, 7.6 poundsRear body contour for extra comfortG&L #1 Maple Neck, 12" radius, 1-5/8" nut widthG&L split and drilled tunersVintage tint satin neckHeadstock model logo deleteMedium jumbo vintage fretsASAT Classic Neck and Bridge PickupS-500 Middle Pickup, reverse wound5 way pickup switch3-ply parchment pickguardPull volume for Neck+Bridge or All ThreePlek® Fret finishingG&L fitted Tolex Hard Shell CaseList Price: $2644A new option for 2017 is Okoume body wood. What is Okoume? It's an African hardwood that is fairly lightweight, has a grain similar to mahogany, and is popular as a laminate for decorative woods and structural products. It's not an endangered material, so it's availability and tonal properties make it a good alternative to more heavily regulated tone woods. While not quite as punchy as Alder, it has a smooth clear top end that's more open than mahogany and and a balanced midrange response. Played cleanly the tone is very even across the spectrum, and when used with overdrive it's a broad and lush with lots of detail but no harsh peaks or dips.The 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®The G&L ASAT Classic MFD pickups take the best of the Tele tones: Round and warm or bright and twangy, and fills them out with greater clarity, dynamics, and output. The neck pickup has the bell-like tones of the original Telecaster, but with much less compression and spongy feel. Bright without being edgy and with a rich full bass, it's captures the essence of Fender's original design but makes it vastly more usable. Although not as glassy and scooped as a Strat, the ASAT neck pickup can handle lead work quite nicely, and it's strong output and lower noise works well with distortion and boost pedals.The bridge pickup assembly combines plenty of rich twangy goodness, but with more body, midrange, and no icy top end. It too drives pedals really well, with lots of output and harmonic complexity. Big rock tones are no problem with this guitar, and it's got humbucker-like output with superior clarity and detail. It's a great pickup for lead guitar work, and with your favorite stomp box you go can go from Bad Company to Brad Paisley in an instant.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 vintage tone is often be revered as sonically superior, 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 grinding out tones that would make Hank Williams roll over in his grave. 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 (And you can plug your ASAT and your Les Paul in the same amp and not have to redo all your settings). 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 this is a new guitar with all tags, tools, paperwork and certificates.
