G&L is Leo Fender's third brand, created after Fender and Musicman.
It's beloved by many artists, including Will Ray, Shingo Kanehiro, and chay. (Titles omitted)
G&L offers several series based on manufacturing method and price range, but this is the Tribute series, manufactured in Indonesia.
Manufacturing in Indonesia keeps costs down, while using the same pickups and other hardware as the original USA models, resulting in a model with authentic specifications.
This model is the G&L flagship ASAT Special.
It's said to have been Leo Fender's favorite during his lifetime.
The body back is made of poplar wood, and the top is the classic ash.
The see-through tobacco sunburst finish brings out the ash grain, and the tortoiseshell pickguard creates a sophisticated look.
The neck is made of maple, and the fingerboard is made of rosewood, a traditional combination.
Compared to traditional Fender specs, this guitar features a slightly flatter fingerboard radius, offering stress-free playability.
As with the USA model, the pickups are G&L's signature MFD (Magnetic Field Design) pickups.
By placing a ceramic magnet under the coil to increase output and reducing the number of coil turns, we've successfully eliminated the power and noise drawbacks of single-coil pickups.
These pickups also feature adjustable pole piece height.
This is a rare design for single-coil pickups, and is a welcome feature for guitarists who want to precisely balance the volume of each string.
The bridge is G&L's original saddle-lock bridge.
Securing the bridge saddles at both ends reduces string vibration loss.
While traditional Telecasters placed two strings on a single saddle, making precise octave tuning impossible, this guitar allows for precise tuning of each string.
Sound-wise, the ASAT delivers a distinctive combination of warmth and crispness.
This is a great product for anyone looking for a modern Telecaster sound that matches contemporary music.
This is an official manufacturer outlet item.
