T Style Guitar

The G&L Tribute ASAT Special Gloss Black electric guitar, designed by Leo Fender in 1985, is often considered the ultimate single-cutaway guitar. After a dispute with Gretsch over the Broadcaster name, Leo opted for ASAT. This model is distinguished by its jumbo MFD single-coil pickups, which deliver rich, dynamic tones. Its saddle-lock bridge enhances resonance. Selected materials such as poplar and swamp ash enrich the tonal spectrum. With this model, you can explore this versatility at an affordable price.
