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 does unplayed condition mean for this ASAT Classic?
This guitar has never been played and is in like-new condition. The only noted detail is minimal finish dips at the neck pocket edge, visible in photos, which are cosmetic only and do not affect playability or sound.
Is this guitar suitable for blues and jazz?
Yes. The G&L ASAT Classic single-coil pickups deliver the articulate, touch-responsive character and balanced midrange that define jazz comping and blues soloing. The semi-hollow design adds warmth without sacrificing clarity, and the Modern Classic neck profile accommodates both fingerstyle and pick techniques.
How does the weight and semi-hollow design affect sustain and stage comfort?
At 6.15 lbs, the ASAT Classic Thinline achieves an ideal weight-to-sustain ratio—light enough for all-day comfort during long sessions or gigs, while the semi-hollow construction and boxed steel bridge maintain solid sustain and mechanical stability.
What is included with this guitar?
The ASAT Classic Thinline ships with a deluxe gig bag. USA construction, Hard Rock Maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, traditional boxed steel bridge with brass saddles, and G&L Standard tuners are all included.
How does this compare to a Fender Telecaster Thinline?
Both are semi-hollow, single-coil designs, but the G&L ASAT Classic features a Modern Classic neck profile (1 11/16" nut width) and a simplified control layout that emphasizes the pickups' natural dynamics. The ASAT also uses individual brass saddles on the bridge for refined intonation adjustment and USA-only manufacturing, distinguishing it from Fender's broader lineup.
