Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
From the man himself! Leo Fender's G&L ASAT Classic line is the definitive T style guitar. The MFD single coils plus twin voice chambers sound amazing across the tonal spectrum, allowing you to play anything from warm jazz tones to twangy blues. Everyone needs a T-style in their rack, and what better to fill that than Fender's own ASAT Classic!

From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)
The G&L ASAT® Classic is Leo’s final word on the traditional single-cutaway bolt-on axe, and the semi-hollow version takes it further with G&L’s distinctive twin voice chambers and f-hole added to a beautiful swamp ash body. Framed in a classic boxed-steel bridge, the single-coil Magnetic Field Design™ bridge pickup created by Leo Fender† delivers crisp attack with complex harmonics while individual brass saddles offer modern levels of intonation refinement. Flip to the single-coil MFD™ neck pickup and you’ll discover a delectably rich tonal palette, from round clean jazz tones to thick, gritty blues. 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.
The ASAT Classic Semi-Hollow’s hard-rock maple neck features an easy-playing satin finish, comfortable 9 1/2″ radius and Jescar 57110 medium-jumbo nickel-silver frets for silky playability. The moment you open the luxurious hardshell case, you’ll be greeted with a stunning instrument and delicious aroma that’ll have your pulse racing.
Founded by Leo Fender in 1980, 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™.
