G&L ASAT Special Electric Guitar, Blueburst

Full Description

Robust Mahogany Body

The G&L ASAT Special Electric Guitar body is made from durable mahogany which features an iconic shape with elegant contours. The strength and density of the mahogany gives the body protection against low level wear and tear, prolonging the guitars overall life. Mahogany gives a warm and soft tone with well-balanced grind and bite.

Top of The Range Hardware

The G&L ASAT Special Electric Guitar is loaded with top of the range hardware, including a G&L saddle lock bridge, and a duo of G&L MDF Single coil pickups. Both pickups provide a punchier bottom end and brighter top end with sparkling harmonics, thanks to the ceramic magnet over an alnico V.

Maple Neck & Rosewood Fretboard

The G&L ASAT Special Electric Guitar features a bolt-on, maple neck in a comfortable C shape. Fitted with a rosewood fretboard and 22 medium jumbo frets, this guitar provides excellent playability, perfect for any level of player. The rosewood fretboard and maple neck produce a warm, mellow tone with lower mids.

The History of G&L

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 high-quality 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 his wife 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.
