The body of the Fullerton Asat Special 3-Tone Sunburst CR is made of alder. The bolted maple neck with a "Modern Classic" profile is fitted with a Caribbean Rosewood fingerboard (despite the name, it is not rosewood) fitted with twenty-two Jescar 57110 Medium Jumbo frets made of pakfong (nickel-silver). The neck is reinforced by a brace placed under the fingerboard, and orientation on the fingerboard surface is facilitated by position dots.
Two single-coil MFD (Magnetic Field Design) jumbo pickups with ceramic magnets and adjustable pole extensions designed by Leo Fender allow the pickup output to be adjusted for each string separately. The MFD jumbo pickups are similar in character to the P-90 and Jazzmaster models. The sound settings can be adjusted using the volume, tone diaphragm and three-position pickup switch potentiometers.
Tuning stability and good sustain are guaranteed by the anchoring of the strings in the 12:1 ratio gears and Saddle Lock tailpiece, which prevents movement of the individual saddles and thus loss of sustain. Nice workmanship is underlined by the stylish pickguard and headstock.
The guitar comes in a gig bag.
The G&L brand was founded in the late 70s and early 80s by Leo Fender, George Fullerton and Dale Hyatt. The design of electric guitars and basses with the G&L logo thus suggests what other world-famous brands might have looked like if Leo Fender had not got rid of the brand in the mid-1960s. Moreover, G&L's American-made guitars are still made in Fullerton on Fender Avenue, so they offer a piece of guitar history alongside stylish design and great sound.
