G&L Tribute ASAT Special Electric Guitar - Tobacco Sunburst is on it's way to , we will ship as soon as it arrives!
The G&L ASAT® Special just might be the quintessential G&L guitar, viewed by many as Leo’s ultimate single-cutaway. Back in 1985, Leo Fender† launched this model under the G&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.
The 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. What’s more, this ASAT Special is offered in either a Basswood body, or a Mahogany body for that righteous ‘80s G&L blend of jumbo MFD power mellowed by the high porosity of Mahogany. Two great ASAT flavors, yours for the picking.
Glossary Of Musical Instruments
The Tribute® Series ASAT Special brings the magic of Leo’s own reinterpretation of the single-cutaway bolt-on guitar, all at a price attainable for every working musician. Once you play a G&L Tribute Series, you’ll never look back.Although he created some of the most enduring electric guitar and bass designs of all time, Leo Fender was never one to rest on his laurels. He was driven to innovate, and, for that reason, he launched the CLF Research company in the late 1970s to explore new designs and develop new technologies. One of the first instruments to emerge from the CLF Research laboratory was the L-1000 electric bass. Affectionally referred to as the “wunkay” bass, the L-1000 included cutting-edge features like G&L’s Magnetic Field Design humbucking pickups and Saddle-Lock bridge. With three selectable pickup configurations (parallel, split-coil, and OMG mode), the L-1000 presented players with a level of flexibility that went well beyond what was available at the time. The G&L CLF Research L-1000 keeps everything that made those early “wunkays” so exceptional and adds some modern updates, such as a dual-action truss rod and twin graphite stiffening rods.
Pointing to G&L’s history of innovation, the CLF Research L-1000 combines the stunning chrome hardware, slim rounded neck, and original headstock shape of early 1980’s L-1000s, with G&L’s comfortable, lightweight 1990’s body style. It represents the best of what players expect from an L-1000, with a classic look and feel that has a surprisingly contemporary edge. When you step on stage with the CLF Research L-1000 slung around your shoulders, don’t be surprised if all eyes are on you!
The CLF Research L-1000 owes much of its bone-rattling tone to its single Magnetic Field Design humbucker. Unique to G&L, Magnetic Field Design pickups are built around a ceramic bar magnet laid under each coil, and they feature individually adjustable pole pieces to give you complete control over your tone. Their inherent sound is warm and deep, with punchy high-mids and an open top-end. And, with double the output per wind over standard designs, Magnetic Field Design pickups bring the thunder.

G&L strives to give players unparalleled flexibility when shaping their tone, and the CLF Research L-1000 doesn’t disappoint on this front. On the face of it, the CLF Research L-1000 has a straightforward three knob configuration: volume, treble, and bass. However, a discrete three-way mini-toggle switch unlocks incredible possibilities, allowing you to switch between parallel, split-coil, and OMG modes. The latter of which is exclusive to G&L basses and uses a passive circuit to reduce the bass’s treble response and call up some ultra-fat low end.
Another G&L innovation has found its way into the CLF Research L-1000 — the G&L Saddle-Lock bridge. The Saddle-Lock bridge reduces the lateral movement of the saddle pieces by tightening an Allen screw on the side of the bridge. Additionally, the Saddle-Lock bridge has a solid protrusion on its backside that is sunk firmly into the instrument’s body wood. Together, these two features make it easier for string energy to travel into the body and translate into a rich, resonant, and sustaining sound.
