Playability & Recording Feel

Dual G&L MFD ASAT Classic single-coil pickups in black deliver crisp, articulate tones with impressive dynamic range and clarity that translates well through preamps and into your DAW. The 3-position blade selector with dedicated volume and tone controls gives you immediate access to neck pickup warmth for smooth rhythmic passages, bridge pickup brightness for cutting lead lines, or blended characteristics that sit naturally in a mix.
