Description
G&L USA ASAT Classic Build to Order Guitar 3 Tone Sunburst Rosewood
This unplayed, mint-condition ASAT Classic is built for the player who values neck feel and stage reliability. The Modern Classic neck profile locks into your hand with its 1 11/16" nut width and carefully contoured depth, supporting long sets without fatigue. The 3 Tone Sunburst finish with 3-ply tortoise shell pickguard cuts through stage lights with a timeless look that never dates, backed by G&L's no-compromise construction.
Playability & Feel
The neck is Hard Rock Maple with satin clear finish paired with Caribbean Rosewood fingerboard, providing fast, responsive fret access and a natural feel under the hand across extended playing. The Modern Classic profile measures 1 5/8" string spacing with a 9.5" radius, 0.820" depth at the 1st fret tapering to 0.870" at the 12th fret—geometry that locks in for fluid rhythm work and articulate lead passages in any style.
Tone & Electronics
Two G&L ASAT Classic single-coil pickups deliver the articulate, bell-like clarity that lives on stage—responsive dynamics that track your touch with the precision characteristic of offset single-coil design. The control layout—3-position pickup selector, volume, and tone—keeps switching fast and intuitive during a gig, while the traditional boxed steel bridge with individual brass saddles locks in intonation and sustain through a full night of playing.
