G & L ASAT Model Solid Body Electric Guitar (1986), made in Fullerton, California, blonde finish, ash body, maple neck with ebony fingerboard, original black hard shell case.
Overall length is 39 1/16 in. (99.2 cm.), 12 5/8 in. (32.1 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 5/8 in. (4.1 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 25 1/2 in. (648 mm.). Width of nut is 1 5/8 in. (41 mm.). This guitar is generally clean overall with some isolated chips and dings through the finish (mostly to the edges) and one long scrape to the top; it appears all original. As is usual for these it plays and sounds very well, a particularly nice example of Leo Fender's best later work. The most amazing thing about this guitar is not the instrument itself but the case-the original "upside down" G & L HSC has a nearly life-size full color portrait of a serious '80's haircut babe lovingly laminated to the top, complete with Reagan-era glitzy silver jewelry and super-gelled upswept coiffure. We're not sure who it is -it looks rather like a young Demi Moore, but our expertise in guitars and glamour is stronger for 1940's-1960's period. This is one of the most striking and delightful era-correct additions we've seen in a long time, and hey the '80's are fading into ancient history now, so enjoy! Overall Excellent Condition.
