limited-run ASAT Classic Alnico Thinlines ...

[Craig]

The workshop crew has something new! Check out these small-batch limited-run ASAT Classic Alnico Thinlines
The limited run ASAT Classic Thinline blends vintage Leo styling cues with modern Leo function and refinement.
Now, two new versions feature swamp ash bodies with F-hole deleted for the appearance of a solidbody.
Finished in either Autumn Burst or Mako Blue, each fades to Jet Black which fully coats the back.
Alnico pickups are on duty rather than MFDs, while the comfortable Modern Classic neck profile returns with a 9 ½” radius and Natural Satin finish.
25 of each color are being built and shipping starts now.

Autumn Burst / 3-ply Cream / Caribbean Rosewood / Natural Satin





Mako Blue / 3-ply White Pearl / Maple / Natural Satin

Pretty guitars. I'd like to see the Mako in person.

Craig,

Question:

the description mentions the "appearance" of a solid body. Is this body solid, chambered or hollow?

Kind of a nice looking guitar. I would offer wood and finish choices and then they would have a seller.
A little bland looking without an F hole and in those woods/colors.

If the guitar is hollow or chambered, I would like to play one.

Curious minds want to know,

All G&L ASAT Classic Thinline models are chambered but different from the G&L Semi-Hollow models.
Spencer from the G&L factory told me this:
"The TL removes quite a bit more wood. Specifically between the two pickups and behind the bridge.
The two cavities kind of pinch together there on the TL where the channels are straight on the standard semi-hollow ASATs."
