Alder body yields a balanced musical tone





The Fullerton Deluxe ASAT Classic 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 Sweetwater appreciate the effortless playability of the Fullerton Deluxe ASAT Classic.





Leo Fender-designed pickups serve up a myriad of sonic textures





You can coax a myriad of sonic textures out of the G&L Fullerton Deluxe ASAT Classic. A pair of Leo Fender-designed single-coil Magnetic Field Design pickups house extra-thick bar magnets that emit ultra-tight magnetic fields. This design produces a massive amount of energy around the coil, ensuring super-strong output and a muscular, percussive attack. The neck pickup is brighter, more powerful, and clearer than traditional alnico T-style neck single-coils, while the bridge pickup offers all the twang, spank, and cluck you can handle. Magnetic Field Design pickups also feature individually adjustable pole pieces to give you complete control over your tone. Whether you’re craving crisp, complex harmonics or smooth, round jazz tones, the Fullerton Deluxe ASAT Classic will do it.





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.
