G&L ASAT Varieties

The ASAT is the final word on the evolution of the single cutaway, T-style guitar. The key to the ASAT’s revolutionary sound is the addition of G&L’s MFD™ single coil pickups in the bridge and neck positions. The MFD™ single coil in the bridge position offers a crisp attack that is rich in harmonics, while the MFD™ single coil in the bridge is rich and warm, offering a tonal palette suited to gritty blues and cool jazz.  Wrapped with traditional Formvar wire, the MFD™ single coil pickups offer a less twangy tone than previous versions of the T-style guitar, giving all varieties of the ASAT equipped with them an output and tonal range that is perfect for the modern music scene.
