Description
Sound & Tone
The alder body and maple/rosewood neck give this ASAT a balanced midrange with clear note separation, while the saddle-lock bridge's direct string-to-body coupling adds sustain and definition. The G&L AS4255C neck and AW4470C bridge humbuckers cover thick, saturated rhythm and lead tones, and the push-pull coil-taps on both pickups thin things out to brighter, snappier single-coil voicings, with hybrid blends available through the 3-position blade. That range suits players moving between roots, blues and country twang and heavier rock or fusion work, and the 9.5" radius with medium-jumbo Jescar frets supports both accurate chord work and wide bends.
G&L USA ASAT HH RMC Custom Guitar in Ruby Red Metallic
This factory-fresh USA ASAT HH captures the classic offset body ergonomics with a Modern Classic neck profile engineered for extended tracking and layering sessions. The Ruby Red Metallic finish delivers visual clarity on camera and in studio lighting, while the dual humbucker configuration with push-pull coil-tap controls provides the tonal range needed in the mix—from articulate, single-coil-like definition to full, saturated humbucker body for depth and sustain. Factory-tuned and setup.
Playability & Construction for Session Work
The Modern Classic neck profile (1 11/16" nut width, 9.5" radius) enables comfortable tracking during long recording sessions while maintaining precision for both rhythm layers and lead passes. Jescar 57110 medium-jumbo frets and a satin-finished hard-rock maple neck with rosewood fingerboard support consistent intonation across multiple takes and nuanced bending for expressive overdubs. The alder body at original Leo specification depth ensures the resonance and controlled sustain that translates clearly to tape and digital recording.
Tone & Electronics for Studio Flexibility
The G&L AS4255C neck pickup and G&L AW4470C bridge pickup paired with a 3-position blade selector, independent volume and tone controls, and push-pull coil-tap switches on both humbuckers give you single-coil articulation for bright rhythm tracks, full humbucker thickness for saturated lead tones, and hybrid voicings in between—all without changing guitars. The saddle-lock bridge locks tuning stability across multiple takes and ensures direct string-to-body coupling for maximum clarity and sustain in the final mix.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the humbucker and single-coil tones on this guitar?
Each pickup has a push-pull coil-tap switch that splits the humbucker into a single-coil voice, giving you articulate, snappy tones reminiscent of vintage offset designs alongside full, saturated humbucker character. The 3-position blade selector lets you use neck pickup alone, bridge pickup alone, or both together, multiplying your sonic options without changing guitars.
Is this guitar suitable for rock and hard rock, or can it handle other genres?
This ASAT HH is purpose-built for rock, hard rock, and blues; it excels in high-gain and studio-session contexts where sonic flexibility and sustain are priorities. While the offset design and tonal range are not optimized for folk or country applications, the combination of humbucker saturation and articulate single-coil voicings makes it equally at home in clean studio recordings and live performances.
What makes the construction and hardware contribute to the tone?
The alder body and hard-rock maple neck follow Leo Fender's direct string-to-body coupling philosophy, maximizing resonance and sustain. The saddle-lock bridge with knurled dome-top hardware ensures stable tuning and direct coupling for maximum clarity, while medium-jumbo Jescar frets support both precision work and expressive bending without choking sustain.
Is the guitar set up and ready to play out of the box?
Yes—this guitar arrives fully factory-set and in new condition, requiring no setup work before you can take it to a gig or studio session.
What is the neck profile and who is it best suited for?
The Modern Classic profile strikes a balance between vintage comfort and contemporary playability, with a 1 11/16 inch nut width and 9.5 inch radius. This profile suits intermediate, advanced, and professional players who appreciate a smooth transition between fretting-hand positions and responsive bending feel.
