This left-handed G&L USA ASAT Classic is engineered for tracking sessions and live studio work, with ergonomic playability and balanced weight distribution that reduce fatigue during extended takes.

Playability & Recording Feel
The Modern Classic neck profile with 1 11/16" nut width and 1 5/8" string spacing provides comfortable positioning across the fretboard for both single-note lines and chord voicings. A 9.5" radius maple fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and dot inlays supports both smooth legato passages and aggressive bending, while the satin finish neck reduces hand friction and fatigue during longer tracking sessions.
Tone & Electronics for the Mix
Dual G&L ASAT Classic single-coil Alnico pickups in bridge and neck positions deliver the punchy, articulate character the ASAT is known for—responsive to pick dynamics with clarity and definition across the frequency spectrum.
