*This appears to be no longer the case based upon the photos of several G&L instruments which have recently been posted on
G&L's Facebook page with Natural wood binding on Blackburst finished bodies. I suggest that anyone interested in this combination
inquire about it with an authorized G&L Dealer.

Rear Body Contour (For solid body ASAT guitars) Optional on all solid body ASAT guitars. Comes as standard on ASAT bass.
Can not be used on Semi-Hollow models or any instrument with ‘double bound’ body.

Added: "Original Leo Spec" Body Depth Returns to the G&L AS

Post by Craig »

Just announced today:
For years, enthusiasts have asked for the return of the original 1.625” ASAT body depth,
internally referred to as OLS (Original Leo Spec) by G&L factory craftsmen. Now, G&L is proud to
announce that OLS body depth is available once again as a no-cost option on all solid-body ASAT
guitars built in Leo’s historic factory on Fender Avenue.
For full details, see this link on G&L's website: "Original Leo Spec" Body Depth Returns to the G&L ASAT.
