Description
G&L USA ASAT Classic Thinline Semi Hollow Guitar in 2-Tone Goldburst
The G&L USA ASAT Classic Thinline bridges vintage warmth and modern responsiveness in a semi-hollow design built for the stage and studio alike. Weighing just 6.6 pounds, the thinline body cuts feedback issues while delivering the sweet, woody midrange articulation that defines G&L's reputation—articulation that lives through fingerpicked passages and punches through on rhythm work. Jazz, indie rock, alternative, and classic rock players will find this instrument equally at home in any setting. The 2-Tone Goldburst Metallic finish is a visual anchor that gains character with every gig and session.
Playability & Feel
The lightweight semi-hollow construction yields surprising sustain and string response without the feedback constraints of deeper chamber designs. The Hard-rock Maple neck with Modern Classic profile (.820"-.870") and 9.5" radius sits comfortably in hand, offering a familiar and stable playing platform. The 1 11/16" Bone nut and Medium Jumbo frets sharpen your precision work and make expressive bending and vibrato feel natural across the entire fingerboard.
Tone & Electronics
Dual G&L MFD ASAT Classic Single Coil pickups capture that hallmark woody clarity—definition without harshness, cut without brittleness. The 3-Way selector with Volume and Tone controls keeps the signal chain straightforward and responsive to your touch. The Boxed Steel bridge with 6 saddles locks in tuning stability and transfers string vibration with minimal compromise, keeping your tone intact through a full set.
