G&L Tribute Series ASAT Deluxe Trans Black - NOS

The ASAT Deluxe Carved Top: one of the beefiest ASATs ever.

One look and you know this ASAT is badass. It?s fired up with twin chrome-covered Alnico humbuckers ? designed by G&L?s Paul Gagon ? mounted in a bound, flame maple-topped mahogany body. This new axe takes the iconic ASAT further into heavy territory while retaining the feel and playability that have made the ASAT a perennial favorite among players.

The ASAT Deluxe Carved Top sports an easy-playing 1-5/8? nut-width neck, a classic C-shaped back and 12? fingerboard radius to make deep bends a breeze. Holding it down on the other end is a G&L Saddle Lock bridge designed by Leo Fender for comfort and singing sustain. The Gagon-designed pickups are split via a push/pull tone pot to offer everything from jangly single-coil tones to gritty blues to scorching leads.

The ASAT Deluxe Carved Top is just what many ASAT fans have been waiting for: an affordable, well-made alternative to the Fullerton-made G&L ASAT Deluxe.
