The ‘ASAT’ name refers to a an ASAT (Anti-Satellite) missile system!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis specific Bluesboy dates to 2005 and sports a Butterscotch Blonde finish. It is in very good, clean condition with minor cosmetic wear. With the possible exception of a set of Schaller strap locks, it is in all original condition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar plays well with a comfortable action.  Acoustically it is very resonant and has plenty of sustain.  Tonally, the neck humbucker and Magnetic Field Design (MFD) bridge pickup makes it ideal for many genres. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold with its original rectangular molded hard shell case containing the Certificate of Authenticity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Beginning and End of G\u0026amp;L\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eG\u0026amp;L was founded in 1979 primarily by Leo Fender (died 1991) and George Fullerton (died 2009), as Fender's association with Music Man came to an end.  It ran until ceasing operations in September 2025.  BBE Sound, the parent company, legally dissolved on October 28, 2025.  Fender Musical Instrument Corp. apparently purchased the G\u0026amp;L intellectual property but at time of writing, no official statements confirm this. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials and Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing closely from Leo’s classic layout, this G\u0026amp;L ASAT Classic Bluesboy pairs a Swamp Ash body and a Maple neck with 25.5 inch scale, 9.5 inch radius, 22 fret Indian Rosewood fingerboard. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSealed G\u0026amp;L branded tuners are at the head, leading to the familiar ‘ashtray’ style string-through-body bridge with six fully adjustable brass saddles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe electronics are in an H-S format, with a Seymour Duncan humbucker at the neck, designed by Seth Lover,  and a single coil MFD pickup with adjustable polepieces at the bridge. These lead to a selector switch and master Volume and Tone controls, very much in Leo’s ‘T-Style’ wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; height: 94.5938px;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 94.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 26.1993%;
