G&L ASAT Deluxe Yellow Fever
Item: GLASATDYLWFVREBPHRC
This ASAT Special Deluxe is a fine example of Leo's genius designs and the natural beauty of the Premium flamemaple top and Ash wood body. Some of the deigns for example is the patented G&L Saddle-Lock® bridge, it's used on many ASAT® models, as well as the full range of G&L basses. This design was revolutionary for a number of reasons. The most significant feature is a small Allen screw on the side of the bridge, which presses all the saddles together so they resonate as though they were one single mass. This eliminates the loss of string vibration energy caused by side-to-side saddle movement inherent in other designs. The bottom side of the bridge has a large protrusion which fits into a route in the body. The protrusion fits snugly against the end grain of the body wood, allowing the highly resonant bridge to transfer much more of the string vibration energy directly to the core of the body, yielding much greater sustain than his earlier fixed bridge design. Again, Leo's innovative saddle design was used to minimize string breakage. This fierce guitar also features dual humbuckers, giving you a greater range of tone not found on other guitars of this type! We are so in love with G&L guitars, it's stupid!
The non-compression trussrod design incorporates a secondary, flat-sided rod which bows away from primary rod. Unlike a vintage truss rod, this design does not compress the neck longitudinally in order to function; compression is undesirable because it tends to distort the curvature of the fingerboard. Operation is both fluid and accurate with the articulation of the neck, the "relief", being very consistent across the length of the neck. This is a PLAYERS guitar, it wants to go home with a player, is that you?
