The G&L Tribute ASAT Classic Electric Guitar body is made from swamp ash which features an iconic shape with elegant contours. The swamp ash tonewood gives a twangy, airy, sweet sound that sits well in any mix.
The G&L Tribute ASAT Classic Electric Guitar is loaded with 2 Leo Fender-designed G&L MFD single coil pickups which use a ceramic bar magnet opposed to the normal alnico V magnets. These pickups yield around twice the output per wind, which makes the pickup quieter but still allowing a greater overall output. As well as this the MFD’s have adjustable pole heights unlike the alnico models, allowing you to choose which strings get the heightened poles rather than just rising the whole pickup. The MFD’s give a slightly warmer tone. As well as the pickups the ASAT Classic has great controls so that you can customise the sound right to suit your style. The ASAT Classic is also fitted with a traditional boxed-steel bridge with individual brass saddles.
The G&L Tribute ASAT Classic Electric Guitar neck is crafted from maple, in a comfortable medium C shape. Fitted with a maple fretboard and 22 medium jumbo nickel frets, this guitar has excellent playability, ideal for any level of player. The maple fretboard and neck produces sizzling highs and firm lows.
G&L was founded by Leo Fender and George William Fullerton in the late 1970s after Leo sold his company fender in 1965. They went on for many years building pristine guitars for the public and stars alike. Sadly, in the March of 1991 Leo Fender passed away on the very same day he finished his last prototype declaring that he had given all he can to the musicians of the world to his wife Phyllis. Before Leo’s passing, he wanted to ensure that the legacy which him and George had built (G&L) would carry on shining into the far future. It was then that Phyllis under request from Leo chose John C.McLaren (CEO of BBE Sound) to take over management, expand and develop in the way Leo dreamed. With John as the CEO and Phyllis as an Honorary Chairman, G&L continued to grow into the great company it is today just as Leo envisioned it too.
