The G&L Tribute ASAT Classic Bluesboy Semi-Hollow body is made from swamp ash which features an iconic shape with elegant contours, twin voice chambers, and an F-hole. The swamp ash tonewood gives a twangy, airy, sweet sound that sits well in any mix, while the chambered design offers an excellent resonance and lightweight properties.
The G&L Tribute ASAT Classic Bluesboy Semi-Hollow is loaded with a Leo Fender-designed G&L MFD single coil pickup in the bridge position, and a Paul Gagon designed AS4255C alnico in the neck position. The G&L MFD single coil uses a ceramic bar magnet opposed to the normal alnico V magnets. These pickups deliver twice the output per wind, which makes the pickup quieter but still allowing a greater overall output. As well as this the MFDs 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 ASAT Classic has great controls so that you can customise the sound 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 Bluesboy guitar features a bolt-on, maple neck in a medium C shape. Fitted with a rosewood fretboard and 22 medium jumbo nickel frets, this guitar offers excellent playability, ideal for any level of player. The rosewood fretboard and maple neck produces a warm, mellow tone with lower mids.
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.
