G&L ASAT Classic Telecaster

Butterscotch Blonde over Swamp Ash top on Poplar, 1-ply pickguard, Maple fingerboard.. The G&L ASAT Classic is a T-style electric guitar designed by Leo Fender after he left Fender Musical Instruments Corporation, serving as a refined evolution of the Telecaster concept rather than a direct copy. A notable feature of the ASAT Classic is its string-through-body bridge design with individual brass saddles, which enhances sustain and intonation accuracy compared to traditional Telecaster-style bridges with fewer saddles. “The G&L ASAT Classic is Leo’s Fender’s final word on the traditional single-cutaway bolt-on axe. Framed in a classic boxed-steel bridge, the single-coil Magnetic Field Design bridge pickup created by Leo Fender's 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. Put them together and you’ll find a whole another level of heaven.” • CONSTRUCTION: bolt-on • SCALE: 25 1/2" • PICKUPS: Leo Fender†-designed G&L MFD single coils • BODY WOOD: Poplar and Swamp Ash top on Poplar • NECK WOOD: Hard-Rock Maple with Maple or Rosewood fingerboard • NECK WIDTH AT NUT: 1 5/8" • NECK RADIUS: 9-1/2" • NECK PROFILE: medium C • FRETS: 22 medium jumbo, nickel • TUNING KEYS: 18:1 ratio, sealed-back • BRIDGE: traditional boxed-steel bridge with individual brass saddles • CONTROLS: 3-position pickup selector, volume, tone G&L's build quality is very good; comparable to an American Fender.
