G&L ASAT Special - USA - Red Metal Flake Used

This pre-owned ASAT Special Semi-Hollow is one of the coolest ASATs we've ever offered. The red sparkle finish and black pickguard make it a great stage guitar!  It is in very good condition, with no significant dents or dings.  It shows the normal light scratches of a guitar that has been played, and there is some very light oxidation on the bridge saddles.  The frets are in 9/10 condition.  This guitar can cover everything from all-out country twang to straight-ahead rock to mellow jazz. The pickguard appears to have some peeling on bevel edge, but we only mention this out of transparency. 

This example features:
- Hard rock maple neck with 22-fret rosewood fingerboard
- Modern Classic Neck Profile (.820 - .870)
- Semi-hollow Swamp Ash body
- 5-way pickup selector switch uses various capacitors to achieve 5 unique and versatile tone profiles.
- Two G&L MFD single coil pickups
- Weight: 7.6 lbs

The G&L ASAT® Special just might be the quintessential G&L guitar, viewed by many as Leo Fender’s ultimate single-cutaway.  

The ASAT Special 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.
