An immaculate example of the superb value for money G&L Tribute ASAT Classic Bluesboy Semi-Hollow in Redburst.
Continuing the legacy of the legendary guitar designer Leo Fender, G&L produces exceptional instruments well into the 21st Century — closely adhering to its iconic founder's vision of making the best, player-friendly products possible. The Tribute ASAT Classic Bluesboy is an affordable version of one of G&L's flagship models — a timeless T-style electric guitar with a number of innovations that make it a rock-solid choice for the contemporary musician.
Featuring a Maple neck with a silky-smooth satin finish and modern-sized 'Medium Jumbo' frets, this instrument also comes equipped with one of G&L's acclaimed MFD single-coils in its bridge position — producing that coveted T-type "twang" but with more output and less noise — and a warm-sounding neck humbucker that makes for a superbly-versatile combination.
