Back in 1985, Leo Fender† launched this model under the G\u0026amp;L Broadcaster name, which prompted a response from Fred Gretsch of Gretsch Guitars over the name just as it had thirty-five years earlier. History buffs will recall that the Broadkaster® name is owned by Gretsch, and once again, a Broadcaster from Leo was required to have its name changed. This time around, the name became “ASAT” which is US military shorthand for an “Anti-Satellite” missile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ASAT Special, as the model became known, features jumbo single-coil Magnetic Field Design pickups, each with a narrow bobbin aperture for a coil which is shallow yet wide. In this regard, an MFD jumbo single coil is similar to a P-90 or Jazzmaster® pickup, yet the MFD principle provides a punchier bottom end and brighter top end sparkling with harmonics. Leo further departed with the past with the addition of his innovative Saddle-Lock bridge which transfers string energy right into the body end-grain for an incredibly resonant instrument. The result is one of the most versatile guitars ever, serving up ballsy twang to searing blues to smooth jazz tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded by Leo Fender in 1980, G\u0026amp;L USA instruments continue to be made in the historic G\u0026amp;L facility on Fender Avenue in Fullerton, California, the Birthplace of Bolt-on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis exceptional ASAT is in excellent condition with very minimal signs of use, comes with fresh setup and strings in original gig-bag with certificate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONSTRUCTION: bolt-on\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSCALE: 25 1\/2\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePICKUPS: Leo Fender†-designed jumbo G\u0026amp;L MFD single coils made in Fullerton, California\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBODY WOOD: Alder with Rear Contour\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNECK WOOD: Natural Satin Hard-Rock Maple with Caribbean Rosewood fingerboard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNECK PROFILE: G\u0026amp;L Modern Classic with 9 1\/2\" radius\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNUT: 100% natural bone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFRETS: 22 medium jumbo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONTROLS: 3-position pickup selector, volume, tone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eINCLUDES: G\u0026amp;L Deluxe Gig Bag\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"G\u0026L","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57460823261564,"sku":"3600","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/4783\/0572\/files\/3600_1.jpg?v=1789634012","url":"https:\/\/pricelessguitars.com\/products\/g-l-usa-fullerton-deluxe-asat-special-with-rosewood-fretboard-2020-3-tone-sunburst","provider":"Priceless Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
