Fullerton, CA (July 19, 2011) -- G&L has unveiled the latest addition to the Tribute Series guitars: the ASAT Deluxe Carved top. It’s loaded with twin chrome-covered Alnico humbuckers – designed by G&L’s Paul Gagon – mounted in a bound, flame maple-topped mahogany body.

The ASAT Deluxe Carved Top sports an 1-5/8” nut-width neck, a classic C- shaped back and 12” fingerboard radius. Holding it down on the other end is a G&L Saddle Lock bridge designed by Leo Fender for comfort and singing sustain. The Gagon-designed pickups are split via a push/pull tone pot.

Specs:
  • G&L Alnico humbuckers designed by Paul Gagon
  • Bound flame maple top over carved mahogany body
  • Hard-rock 25-1/2” scale maple neck with 22-fret rosewood fingerboard
  • G&L Saddle Lock hardtail bridge designed by Leo Fender


The ASAT Deluxe Carved Top is available in Trans Red or Trans Black and carries a suggested retail price of $715 with street price expected to be about $499.

It looks very fine in Trans Red. Despite being a very light guitar (and comfortable) it has bags of sustain and heaps of attack from the twin HBs. The coil tap switch gives a wide tonal range allowing for example instant switching between a more restrained rhythm setting to a meaty, attacking style for lead work.

on 07/21/2011 		I think Leo should have re-created his updated take on the Jazzmaster before he passed. But G&L is still running solid and they should take this idea and run with it (preferrably with 3 MFD soapbars) I always found it funny that people will buy a G&L and then swap out Leo's MFD pups. So many other companies to swap out stock pups, but to swap out Leo's creation, hahahaha, kinda missing the point in my book.
