Modern Take on Leo’s Classic T-style

The G&L Tribute ASAT Deluxe Carved Top was built for players with an aggressive streak. This solidbody electric’s resonant nato body is topped with stunning flame maple, which also injects extra bite into your playing. Its comfortable classic C-shaped neck is capped with a fast-playing 12-inch-radius fingerboard. Thanks to its alnico-loaded Cort humbuckers, the ASAT Deluxe Carved Top shouts with an authoritative voice that’s perfect for full-throttle metal, hard-hitting alternative rock, and arena-shaking hard rock. Beyond that, coil splits unlock jangly single-coil tones, gritty blues textures, and high-octane leads. To top it off, the Leo Fender-designed G&L Saddle-Lock bridge ensures maximum comfort and singing sustain, while Cort die-casting tuners maintain great intonation. The Tribute ASAT Deluxe Carved Top is a modern take on Leo Fender’s single-cutaway bolt-on.

Carved top design caters to aggressive playing

The Tribute ASAT Deluxe Carved Top features a nato body — a balanced and resonant wood that has a great cross-genre sound. A stunning flame maple top adds a hint of bite to every note you play. This electric guitar’s hard-rock maple neck boasts a comfortable classic C profile and an easy-playing 12-inch-radius Indian rosewood fingerboard that makes lightning-fast runs and deep bends feel effortless. Aggressive-leaning guitarists here at Sweetwater appreciate the modern playability of the ASAT Deluxe Carved Top. It respects the tradition of G&L’s iconic ASAT while propelling it squarely into the future.

Paul Gagon-designed pickups serve up a myriad of sonic textures

You can coax a myriad of sonic textures out of the G&L Tribute ASAT Deluxe Carved Top, by virtue of its alnico-loaded Cort humbucking pickups. The neck pickup exudes a vintage-inspired tone with a slightly goosed output that’s sure to get your amp cooking. The high-output bridge pickup is a real scorcher — it positively pummels the front end of your amp, while boasting clear mids and smooth highs. A push-pull on the ASAT Deluxe Carved Top’s tone knob activates coil splits that grant you access to everything from jangly single-coil tones to gritty blues textures to high-octane leads. Both pickups feature chrome covers that offer eye-catching looks while lending a hint of warmth to your playing.

Leo's favorite creations

After founding two hugely successful guitar brands and consulting on the side, Leo Fender felt that he had unfinished business in the guitar world. Together with partner George Fullerton, G&L opened for business in 1979 and incorporated innovative design elements into their instruments, such as the Magnetic Field Design pickups, Dual-Fulcrum vibrato, Saddle-Lock bridge, and Bi-cut neck design. Leo was so proud of his new instruments that he famously declared that G&L's "are the best instruments I have ever made." Play a G&L today and experience the magic for yourself.

Rated 5/5

This guitar is amazing in every way.

When I got it the first thing I noticed was the neck felt great, the tuners are also great as well. The pickups are awesome for clean tones, especially the neck pickup with the coil tap. It sounds good through a dirty setup as well but I like to use my pedals when doing so. Overall it's a great guitar hitting well into a higher price point and I 100% recommend this to anyone who is interested.

Great Tone

Very smooth fretboard, level frets. Nice satin neck. Great tone! Some volume loss with coil split to be expected. Made minor adjustments to achieve a good low action. Presently my favorite gigging guitar.
Rated 5/5

Plays and Looks Great!!!

I am very impressed with the G&L ASAT Deluxe. It provides a variety of tones, provides a very comfortable playing experience, and looks great! Bridge pickup really excels in tone and versatility. Neck and middle sound great as well, I'm just really drawn to what the bridge puts out. I would recommend this guitar especially if your looking for a tele style guitar with more of a rock feel. Sweetwater again went above and beyond in their customer service. Big thanks to Colton and the team!
