    The G&L ASAT Special just might be the quintessential G&L guitar, viewed by many as Leo’s ultimate single-cutaway. Back in 1985, Leo Fender† launched this model under the G&L Broadcaster name, which prompted a response from Fred Gretsch of Gretsch Guitars over the name just as it had thirty-five years earlier. History buffs will recall that the Broadkaster name is owned by Gretsch, and once again, a Broadcaster from Leo was required to have its name changed. This time around, the name became “ASAT” which is US military shorthand for an “Anti-Satellite” missile. 

     

    G&L Tribute ASAT Special Electric Guitar Features

    • Viewed by many as Leo’s ultimate single-cutaway
    • Serves up ballsy twang to searing blues to smooth jazz tones
    • Poplar body with Swamp Ash top
    • Hard-Rock Maple with Rosewood fingerboard (Maple on Surf Green) 
    • Jumbo single-coil Magnetic Field Design pickups
    • Tone similar to a P-90 or Jazzmaster pickup
    • Punchier bottom end and brighter top end sparkling with harmonics
    • Innovative Saddle-Lock bridge transfers energy into the body for incredible resonance
    • Simple & intuitive controls 

     

    The ASAT Special, as the model became known, features jumbo single-coil Magnetic Field Design pickups, each with a narrow bobbin aperture for a coil which is shallow yet wide. In this regard, an MFD jumbo single coil is similar to a P-90 or Jazzmaster pickup, yet the MFD principle provides a punchier bottom end and brighter top end sparkling with harmonics. Leo further departed with the past with the addition of his innovative Saddle-Lock bridge which transfers string energy right into the body end-grain for an incredibly resonant instrument. The result is one of the most versatile guitars ever, serving up ballsy twang to searing blues to smooth jazz tones. 

     

    The Tribute Series ASAT Special brings the magic of Leo’s own reinterpretation of the single-cutaway bolt-on guitar, all at a price attainable for every working musician. Once you play a G&L Tribute Series, you’ll never look back.
