G&L Tribute ASAT Classic electric guitar Candy Apple Red

General

From the mind of the designer of one of the world's most iconic guitars comes the G&L Tribute ASAT Classic. It is an electric guitar with a familiar fifties T-style single-cutaway body smothered in a modern gravy. Just like the 1951 original (designed by the L from G&L: Leo Fender) the ASAT Classic also features a beautifully grained ash body. Unlike its 1951 predecessor, the ASAT Classic is equipped with a set of special G&L MFD single-coil pickups, as well as a unique G&L Saddle Lock bridge. The budget-friendly Tribute version offers a pleasurable experience for your eyes and ears.

Tonal properties of the G&L Tribute ASAT Classic

Contrary to the transparent-lacquered versions of the G&L Tribute ASAT Classic, this metallic red model features a basswood body that is very lightweight and produces a highly defined sound with rich mids. Also, its fretboard is made of rosewood instead of maple, making the overall sound slightly warmer. The fretboard features 22 medium-jumbo frets as well as a modern, flat 9-inch radius for easier string bends without dead notes or buzzing.

G&L USA pickups and hardware

The G&L Tribute ASAT Classic is equipped with the exact same hardware and electronics as its American brothers. For instance, there's a G&L Magnetic Field Design single-coil pickup in both the neck and the bridge position. The bridge pickup is mounted onto the steel bridge, allowing for a clear attack and complex harmonics. The neck pickup produces a rich, full sound that is suitable for anything from jazz to rugged blues. The bridge of the ASAT Classic is a traditional Ash Tray type, only with six adjustable brass saddles for an optimal intonation per string.
