An Upscale T-style with G&L’s Most Popular Options
If you want to rock with authority, the G&L Fullerton Deluxe ASAT Special is the right tool for the job. This single-cutaway bolt-on electric guitar comes loaded with a bevy of G&L’s most popular options to provide you with an upscale playing experience. It all starts with a body built from sweet-sounding alder — a balanced-sounding tonewood with equal doses of highs, mids, and lows. A Modern Classic-shaped hard-rock maple neck and smooth 9.5-inch-radius Caribbean rosewood fingerboard supply super-comfortable playability, while a duo of soapbar-style single-coil Magnetic Field Design pickups yield a high-octane snarl with screaming harmonics. To top it off, a Leo Fender-designed G&L Saddle-Lock bridge ensures maximum comfort and singing sustain, while sealed tuners maintain rock-solid tuning stability. A natural bone nut and eye-grabbing tortoise shell pickguard complete the picture. The Fullerton Deluxe ASAT Special was made in Fullerton, California.
Alder body yields a balanced musical tone
The Fullerton Deluxe ASAT Special features a solid alder body — a tonewood prized for its balanced musical tone. This electric guitar’s hard-rock maple neck boasts a Modern Classic profile, which includes a 1-11/16-inch nut width and 1-5/8-inch string spacing to enable a generous edge roll for maximum comfort without string fall-off. This ultra-comfortable neck is capped by an easy-playing 9.5-inch-radius Caribbean rosewood fingerboard that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face. The guitarists here at City Music appreciate the effortless playability of the Fullerton Deluxe ASAT Special.
Soapbar-style pickups serve up a myriad of snarling tones
If standard Magnetic Field Design single-coils are too tame for you, you’ll really dig the G&L Fullerton Deluxe ASAT Special’s soapbar-style pickups. These jumbo-sized pups yield more output than G&L’s regular MFD single-coils, along with an in-your-face snarl that will lend authority to every note you play. These pickups exhibit more midrange than vintage Kalamazoo-built soapbar models, while maintaining that legendary design’s coveted harmonic complexity. The Fullerton Deluxe ASAT Special’s neck pickup produces a gorgeous bluesy crunch, while its bridge pickup delivers maximum spank and clarity — a must for leads that cut through a busy mix. The Fullerton Deluxe ASAT Special’s jumbo single-coil Magnetic Field Design pickups are punchy and well-focused, with truckloads of fat warmth and the perfect amount of top-end sparkle.
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.
