Product Description

G&L is the final legacy of legendary guitar builder Leo Fender. Creator of so many iconic instruments, Leo continued to improve on these designs when he founded G&L in 1979. 

The ASAT Classic is an evolution of the classic T-type guitar that Leo originated, bringing modern refinements to an iconic design.

Body and Neck

Much like the T-type guitars from the early 50s, the ASAT Classic has an Ash body. Since Ash is known for its light weight this guitar will be easy on your back and it has been said that Ash offers a bright, yet well-balanced tone to guitars.

The Tribute ASAT Classic has a comfortable “Medium C” neck profile which is easy to play and has a 9” fingerboard radius. This radius is slightly more curved than most modern fingerboards and makes fretting chords a breeze without compromising your ability to play leads and bends. The maple fingerboard makes for a very smooth playing experience and it has been said that maple adds a snap and brightness to the tone.

Pickups and Hardware

The ASAT Classic features two Leo Fender-designed Magnetic Field Design (MFD) single coil pickups. MFDs use a ceramic bar magnet underneath the coil with soft iron pole pieces – this has the benefit of producing greater output per wind. In real terms, this basically means you get hotter pickups with less overall hum. The ASAT Classic is a versatile guitar capable of smooth Jazz and Blues sounds as well as more biting, driven tones thanks to these higher output pickups.

The hardware is fairly true to the original design, however, the use of individual brass saddles is a great feature as brass is known for its resonance and the individual saddle design makes for improved intonation and greater tuning stability.

Here's What G&L Say About the ASAT Classic

The G&L ASAT Classic is Leo’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 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 ‘em together and you’ll find a whole ‘nother level of heaven.

The Tribute® Series ASAT Classic is dripping with Leo mojo at a price attainable for every working musician. Once you play a G&L Tribute Series, you’ll never look back.

Mr K. Raine15th Sep 2021

It's a weighty beast 9.5lbs but you take a chance with the weight as it varies and it is rarely mentioned in the Description or Specs. Everything else about the Guitar was Perfect.

Much better than the previous offering (Natural finish) and non-aged or non-tinted neck finish. The product is the same as before, but now at least, you do get a cool colour not often available to us lefties but the finish on the neck has a more asthetic appeal. Pickups are excellent and the hardware seems of high quality as well. Excellent bang for buck!

Would be nice to have a couple of nice extras in the box - plectrums, strings for example?

Mr James Munro1st Oct 2019

For the price you really cant complain. Great quality on the finish and the frets are rounded off very nicely. The volume and tone controls have a nice even arc to them and pickup selector feels nice. The nut could be a little nicer and the truss rod access on the headstock is a little untidy but nothing that will affect the playability. The guitar sounds fantastic. Huge variety of tones and loads of sustain.

Mr Paul Perrelli11th Jul 2019

I love the tone of this guitar. It’s way better in tone than my fender to my ears. also love the finish on the body.

Mr Jeff Shields5th May 2019

Guitar is ok for the £. I would recommend it
