T Style Guitar

The G&L Tribute ASAT Special Irish Ale electric guitar is an iconic guitar designed by Leo Fender, launched in 1985 after a dispute with Gretsch over the Broadcaster name. This ASAT model, short for anti-satellite missile, is distinguished by its Magnetic Field Design (MFD) jumbo single-coil pickups. Its Saddle-Lock bridge optimizes resonance by transferring energy from the strings to the body. This reference is a must for demanding guitarists looking for acoustic quality.

The G&L Tribute ASAT Special in Irish Ale is a collector's item for any electric guitar enthusiast.

The Irish Ale colorway evokes authenticity, with a vintage satin finish that accentuates the wood's natural beauty. This elegant colorway gives the guitar a classic look while showcasing the grain of the poplar and swamp ash.

Its bolt-on construction ensures great stability. The body is constructed of poplar and swamp ash on poplar, providing the perfect balance of light weight and resonance.

The hard maple neck is reinforced for added strength. The rosewood fingerboard adds a luxurious touch to the playability. The 3-ply black pickguard contrasts nicely with the satin finish.

Equipped with two Leo Fender-designed G&L MFD jumbo single-coil pickups, this model delivers a clear, powerful tone. The 3-way selector switch lets you choose between a variety of tones. Volume and tone controls let you dial in the nuances with precision.

The medium C-shaped neck with a 25.5" (647 mm) scale length and 1.6" (41 mm) nut width provides optimum comfort for chords and solos. The 9.5" (241 mm) radius provides a smooth curve for smooth playability across the 22 medium jumbo nickel frets.

The MFD pickups provide a dynamic response, allowing you to explore a wide range of tones. The control configuration lets you sculpt the tone to suit different musical styles.

The Leo Fender-designed G&L Saddle-Lock bridge provides enhanced resonance. The 18:1 ratio tuning keys with sealed backs ensure your guitar stays in tune.
