G&L USA ASAT Classic Build to Order Guitar 3-Tone Sunburst
This USA-made G&L ASAT Classic delivers a neck that feels sculpted for your hand, with perfectly dressed 22 Medium Jumbo frets that make bending and position shifts effortless. The alder body resonates with bright, articulate clarity—crisp high-end definition paired with punchy midrange character that cuts through any mix. Built with the precision attention to detail that separates a production guitar from a handcrafted instrument, this Build to Order ASAT responds immediately to your touch across rock, country, funk, and studio applications.
Playability & Neck Design
The Hard-Rock Maple neck features a Modern Classic profile with a 1 11/16" nut width, 9.5" radius, and carefully tapered depth (.820" at the first fret, .870" at the 12th) that accommodates a wide range of hand sizes and playing styles. A bone nut and rosewood fingerboard complete a platform built for precision work and dynamic expression.
Tone & Electronics
Dual G&L ASAT Classic single-coil pickups wired to a 3-way blade switch with master volume and master tone controls deliver versatile, articulate voice across the frequency spectrum. The traditional boxed-steel bridge with individual brass saddles ensures stable tuning and direct string-to-body energy transfer for maximum resonance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile and nut width does this ASAT have?
The ASAT features a Modern Classic profile with a 1 11/16" nut width and 9.5" radius, tapering from 0.820" at the first fret to 0.870" at the 12th fret. This profile accommodates a wide range of hand sizes and supports both precision work and dynamic bending.
Is this guitar good for metal or high-gain styles?
The ASAT Classic is optimized for rock, country, funk, and studio applications where articulate single-coil clarity is an asset. It is not designed for metal or djent styles, which typically call for humbucker-equipped instruments and higher-output pickups.
What pickups and controls does it have?
Two G&L ASAT Classic single-coil pickups wired to a 3-way blade switch provide voice switching across the frequency spectrum. Master volume and master tone controls deliver versatility without complexity.
How does the bridge contribute to the tone?
The traditional boxed-steel bridge with individual brass saddles ensures rock-solid tuning stability while enabling direct string-to-body energy transfer, maximizing resonance and sustain without damping the natural alder-body character.
Can I customize the neck or finish on a Build to Order model?
Yes—Build to Order means this guitar is hand-built to your spec. Consult with the retailer about available options for neck profile, finish, and hardware to match your exact playing needs and aesthetic preference.
