G&L ASAT Classic S

We all know and love the G&L ASAT Classic but here we have a beautiful example of the hard to find G&L ASAT Classic S.  The G&L ASAT Classic S is all ASAT with the addition of a RWRP S500 MFD single coil in the middle position.  This unique feature of the G&L ASAT Classic S brings forth more tonal versatility than you can shake a stick at.  The 5 way selector switch along with the push/pull volume pot, lets you combine the three pickups in any way you want, from all three on to the classic ASAT “in between” sounds of the neck and bridge together.  Everything else is straight up ASAT Classic from the ASAT MFG bridge and neck pickups to the vintage “cup” bridge with 6 brass saddles.  These guitars are hard to find and were made to order, they are not a current production model from G&L. 

G&L ASAT Classic S

The G&L ASAT Classic S is everything you come to expect from an ASAT but more.  The bridge and neck MFD pickups are the same, twang in the rear and big bottom in the neck.  The middle S500 pickup is bright and punchy with enough bite to cut and smooth enough to lay down the cream.  This G&L ASAT Classic S is hung with a #2 neck in a vintage tinted glosss that fits perfect in the hand and is great for chording, soloing, or anything in between.  The ash body is finished in 2 Tone Sunburst that is dark and sexy with the grain of the ash showing through.  With the push/pull volume pot, the bridge pickup can be combined with any combination of the other two.  With all three on its big, bright, punchy, and clear with exceptionally responsive dynamics and super quiet operation.  The five way switch works in the classic sense providing an endless palette of classic tones from ASAT twang to Legacy bark. The G&L ASAT Classic S is the perfect axe for those that want Legacy and ASAT tones in one guitar.
