Description
G&L USA ASAT Classic Thinline Guitar in Midnight Blue Metallic
This unplayed G&L USA ASAT Classic Thinline sits perfectly balanced against your body—the semi-hollow design feels natural and responsive without excess weight. The Modern Classic neck profile with its 1 11/16" nut width and 9.5" radius fingerboard accommodates both fingerstyle and pick-driven approaches without fatigue. At just 6.15 lbs, this instrument achieves the ideal weight-to-sustain ratio that made the ASAT a studio and stage staple, staying comfortable through long sets while maintaining the articulate response that cuts in a mix.
Playability & Construction
The neck combines Hard Rock Maple with a satin vintage tint and rosewood fingerboard, offering smooth fret access across the range. Precise neck depth specifications—.820" at the 1st fret and .870" at the 12th fret—ensure consistent action and intonation night after night, while the traditional boxed steel bridge with individual brass saddles anchors the instrument with the mechanical precision and live reliability G&L is known for.
Tone & Performance
A matched pair of G&L ASAT Classic Single-coil pickups deliver the articulate, touch-responsive character that cuts through a live mix, with a 3-position pickup selector providing neck, bridge, and combined tonal options. The simplified control layout—volume and tone—keeps signal path clean and intuitive, allowing the pickups' natural dynamics to remain uncolored and reactive to your playing dynamics on stage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is B-Stock, and why is the price lower?
This ASAT is unplayed and fully functional; it has minor cosmetic imperfections (minimal finish dips at the neck pocket edge visible in photos) but plays and sounds like a new instrument. B-Stock pricing reflects those cosmetic marks only, not any structural or tonal compromise.
Is this guitar good for metal or high-gain styles?
No—the ASAT Classic's articulate single-coil character and touch-responsive dynamics are optimized for jazz, blues, indie, and studio work. Metal and djent styles typically benefit from humbuckers and higher output pickups.
How does the neck feel, and will it suit my playing style?
The Modern Classic profile has a 1 11/16" nut width and 9.5" radius fingerboard, designed for both fingerstyle and pick work without fatigue. Precise neck depth (.820" at fret 1, .870" at fret 12) ensures consistent action and intonation across the range.
What pickups are in this guitar, and how do they sound?
A matched pair of G&L ASAT Classic Single-coil pickups deliver articulate, touch-responsive tone with natural dynamics and balanced midrange. The 3-position selector lets you blend neck, bridge, or both for versatile tonal control.
