Gigbag Included

This exact modification of ASAT is called "Bluesboy" because it has a classical PAF-style humbucker in the neck position like Keith Richards always liked it to be. This gives a ton of warmth and bass when playing in the neck position while leaving signature tele bridge tone unchanged. 

MFD ceramic bridge pickup and a redesigned bridge with brass saddles are responsible for that signature tele sound: nasal, chirping twang. So you may treat this guitar as a gentle giant that can go from soft whisper to explosive overdrive in the blink of an eye with just the right hand dynamics.

FD stands for Fullerton Deluxe series guitars made at the birthplace of bolt-on guitar exactly the way Leo Fender imagined them to be. All FD instruments come with original G&L gigbag and Certificate of Origin with a detailed specification of the instrument.

Also, you have to keep in mind that wood is a living material. Guitar’s geometry changes a little over time, adjusting to temperature and humidity, so there is no setup that can last forever.

For online orders we manually pack each guitar into a ton of wraps and carton and also have full insurance for all our shippings. So that you wouldn’t worry that something might happen on the way.

MFD Pickups

As a signature feature of G&L, Magnetic Field Design (MFD) pickups are found in the majority of their electric guitars and basses, regarded as a defining characteristic. By transferring the magnetic field to the top of the pickup rather than the middle, they provide a responsive tone with clarity and a wide frequency response. And Leo Fender did this by constructing the MFD pickups utilizing a ceramic bar magnet (installed beneath each coil), with soft iron pole pieces. MFD pickups also yield about twice the output per wind, making them less noisy than most conventional pickups while allowing for greater overall output. The standout feature of MFD pickups is their adjustable pole pieces, enabling players to fine-tune the height of each pole piece for customized string output and EQ experimentation. As a result, the pickups produce less noise, have a very wide dynamic range, and more output while still retainging the glassy tone which we all love.
