Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the neck feel so smooth and playable?
The Hard-rock Maple neck features a Caribbean Rosewood fingerboard with Medium Jumbo frets and a bone nut, combined with a Modern Classic profile (1 11/16" nut width, 9.5" radius) that balances comfort with fast playing. The Satin Light Tint finish creates a natural, fast playing surface without tackiness.
How does this compare to a Fender Telecaster?
The ASAT Classic shares the single-coil Tele DNA but uses G&L's proprietary MFD pickups for greater dynamic range and articulation, a boxed-steel bridge for improved sustain, and a Modern Classic neck profile that offers slightly different ergonomics. Both cut through a mix with crisp highs, but the ASAT delivers more versatility through its 3-position blade selector and tone shaping.
What genres and playing styles is this built for?
This guitar excels in rock, pop, indie, and studio sessions where articulate single-coils and vintage-inspired warmth are assets. It is not optimized for metal or djent styles, which typically call for higher gain and extended range.
What comes with the guitar, and what is the weight?
The ASAT Classic ships with D'Addario EXL110 strings and a deluxe black tolex case. The finished instrument weighs 8 pounds, making it comfortable for extended playing sessions and road use.
Can I customize this when I order it?
Yes, this is a build-to-order instrument, meaning G&L crafts it to your specifications. The Pearl Grey finish shown here is one option; contact the retailer for available custom configurations and lead times.
