G&L ASAT Classic Charlie Christian Limited - Butterscotch Blonde #9533

This ASAT Classic
Charlie Christian Limited is the first guitar we've received that is
part of an exclusive limited edition that we commisioned G&L to make
us. It features an upgraded Lollar Charlie Christian neck pickup and .047uF Orange Drop tone control (this gives a wider tone control sweep).

The
handmade Lollar neck pickup gives a big deep tone with round top end
and long sustain. Comparable output to a P-90 or Imperial Humbucker. Not
just jazz—works well with moderate tube amp distortion. Low resistance
coil wound with 38-gauge wire like original CCs. Nickel plated blade
pole piece. Alnico bar magnets.






The addition of the Charlie Christian Lollar achieves a deep,
bluesy tone in the vibe of Ted Greene, Keith Richards, and even Jimi
Hendrix. Although you give up some of the “spank” associated with the "T" style guitar, it doesn't have a hint of harshness and you gain a new dimension of tone that is sweeter, fatter, and more harmonically rich sounding than the conventional "T" style sound. Not only is it the perfect tone to adapt an ASAT for a Jazz setting, you will also find it’s equally well suited for Blues, Rock, and even Pop. In fact, this guitar sounds so good we found that is was impossible to make it sound bad!
