G&L USA ASAT Classic – Butterscotch Blonde (2016)
Step up to the ultimate refinement of the traditional single-cutaway guitar. This G&L USA ASAT Classic, crafted in the historic Fender Avenue factory in Fullerton, California, blends iconic vintage aesthetics with Leo Fender’s most advanced hardware and pickup innovations.
Premium Tonewoods & Classic Aesthetics
This instrument features a gorgeous Swamp Ash body finished in a timeless Butterscotch Blonde, paired perfectly with a 1-ply black pickguard for that quintessential T-style look. True to Leo Fender's vision, it is crafted to the Original Leo Spec body depth, giving it the exact weight, balance, and resonant properties that purists demand.
Modern Classic Neck Playability
The neck is a player's dream, featuring a Hard-rock Maple neck and matching fingerboard treated with a gorgeous Satin Vintage Tint that feels smooth and fast under the hand.
-
Profile: G&L Modern Classic 1 11/16" neck with 1 5/8" nut width, 9.5"" radius — slim enough for fast leads, yet substantial enough for comfortable chording.
-
Premium Nut: A genuine bone nut ensures maximum sustain and pristine tuning stability.
Leo's Masterpiece Electronics
At the heart of this ASAT Classic are two G&L Magnetic Field Design (MFD) single-coil pickups. Unlike traditional single-coils, Leo’s MFD pickups utilize a ceramic bar magnet beneath each coil with adjustable iron pole pieces. The result? A broader frequency response, less noise, a meatier midrange, and a sparkling top-end twang that punches straight through any mix. Controlled by a traditional 3-way blade, master volume, and master tone, it offers a massive palette of sonic textures.
Factory PLEK Precision Setup
This guitar didn't just roll off an assembly line—it was meticulously crafted and individually optimized. It has undergone a factory PLEK process (Plek #30487) by master technicians to ensure the medium-jumbo frets are leveled to microscopic tolerances.
