G&L ASAT Special Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar 2-Tone Sunburst

The quintessential G&L guitar with an f-hole and P-90-style pickups.




The G&L ASAT Special just might be the
quintessential G&L guitar, viewed by many as Leo’s ultimate
single-cutaway. Back in 1985, Leo Fender launched this model under the
G&L Broadcaster name, which prompted a response from Fred Gretsch of
Gretsch Guitars over the name just as it had 35 years earlier. History
buffs will recall that the Broadkaster® name is owned by Gretsch, and
once again, a Broadcaster from Leo was required to have its name
changed. This time around, the name became "ASAT" which is US military
shorthand for an "Anti-Satellite" missile.

The ASAT Special, as
the model became known, features jumbo single-coil Magnetic Field
Design™ pickups, each with a narrow bobbin aperture for a coil which is
shallow yet wide. In this regard, an MFD™ jumbo single coil is similar
to a P-90 or Jazzmaster® pickup, yet the MFD principle provides a
punchier bottom end and brighter top end sparkling with harmonics. Leo
further departed with the past with the addition of his innovative
Saddle-Lock™ bridge which transfers string energy right into the body
end-grain for an incredibly resonant instrument. The result is one of
the most versatile guitars ever, serving up ballsy twang to searing
blues to smooth jazz tones. The semi-hollow Swamp Ash body on this
version brings a certain hi-fi quality to the tone, softening the attack
and slightly scooping the mids for accentuated highs and lows.
