Sound & Tone
The alder body and 25 1/2" scale give this ASAT Classic a bright, snappy voice with clear high-end definition and punchy mids, while the boxed-steel bridge with brass saddles adds direct string-to-body transfer and sustain. Its pair of G&L ASAT Classic single-coils, run through a 3-way blade with master volume and tone, cover twangy bridge bite, warmer rhythm tones from the neck, and a hollowed-out middle position. The rosewood fingerboard and bone nut round the attack slightly, making it a strong fit for country, roots rock, funk rhythm work, and session playing where note separation matters.
G&L USA ASAT Classic Build to Order Guitar 3-Tone Sunburst
This USA-made G&L ASAT Classic captures articulate single-coil character with the precision needed for studio recording and mix versatility. The alder body resonates with bright, crisp high-end definition paired with punchy midrange presence that sits cleanly in dense arrangements. Equipped with perfectly dressed 22 Medium Jumbo frets that facilitate smooth bends and seamless position navigation, this Build to Order ASAT tracks consistently across rock, country, funk, and pop sessions—delivering the tonal clarity that separates a keepsake instrument from production-standard gear.
Playability & Neck Design for Session Work
The Hard-Rock Maple neck features a Modern Classic profile with a 1 11/16" nut width, 9.5" radius, and carefully tapered depth (.820" at the first fret, .870" at the 12th) that accommodates extended tracking sessions and varied playing techniques. A bone nut and rosewood fingerboard establish a stable platform for repeatable takes and dynamic expression across multiple recording passes.
Tone & Electronics for Studio Recording
Dual G&L ASAT Classic single-coil pickups wired to a 3-way blade switch with master volume and master tone controls provide the tonal flexibility needed for layering parts and achieving defined frequency separation in the mix. The traditional boxed-steel bridge with individual brass saddles ensures tuning stability across full sessions and direct string-to-body energy transfer for focused, articulate recording tone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile does this ASAT have, and will it fit my hand?
The Modern Classic profile features a 1 11/16" nut width, 9.5" radius, and tapered depth that ranges from 0.820" at the first fret to 0.870" at the 12th fret, accommodating a wide range of hand sizes and playing styles. The Medium Jumbo frets make bending and position shifts effortless.
How does this compare to a Fender Stratocaster or Telecaster?
The ASAT shares single-coil DNA with both but delivers a brighter, more articulate high-end with a punchy midrange character specific to G&L's voice. It uses a boxed-steel bridge with individual brass saddles for maximum resonance and tuning stability, and the Build to Order USA construction ensures hand-crafted precision that rivals American Professional Fender models.
What genres does this guitar handle best?
This ASAT excels in rock, country, funk, and studio sessions where bright clarity and articulate tone are priorities. Its single-coil voice is not designed for metal or thrash metal applications.
What pickup and control configuration does it have?
Two G&L ASAT Classic single-coil pickups run through a 3-way blade selector with master volume and master tone controls, delivering versatile articulate voice across the frequency spectrum with straightforward, reliable switching.
Is this guitar built in the USA?
Yes, this is a USA-made G&L with a Hard-Rock Maple neck, alder body, rosewood fingerboard, bone nut, and G&L Standard Sealed Back tuners (12:1 ratio) using traditional bolt-on construction that prioritizes tuning stability and direct string-to-body energy transfer.
