G&L Single-pickup Solamente Sonics
With an assist from the talented team at the G&L Custom Shop, the ASAT Solamente rides again — this time with some incredible road wear! This single-coil 6-string sizzler is poised for punch and presence, thanks to its lone Jumbo MFD pickup, eye-catching aesthetics, and uncompromising craftsmanship. This road-ready rocker features a premier tonewood assemblage, putting down sonic roots via its resonant chambered mahogany body. A hard rock maple neck profiled to a Modern U shape comes capped with an Indian rosewood fretboard that’s a real smooth player and chock-full of sustain. Vintage-inspired Kluson button tuning machines complement this guitar's Medium Aged relic status across the body and aged chrome hardware, while Esquire wiring delivers an unassuming suite of archetypal sound-crafting potential. A thoroughbred of an axe with a stellar road-worn energy, the ASAT Solamente is championed by Sweetwater guitarists as a focused yet flexible tone machine.

Crafted with Custom Shop magic
Like every instrument to emerge from G&L’s Custom Shop, this ASAT Solamente represents the peak of G&L luthiery, with each tonewood meticulously selected to ensure an uncompromisingly capable foundation. A chambered mahogany body anchors the Solamente’s sonic spread, offering a well-resonating fundamental voice. A dyad of hard rock maple and Indian rosewood comprises the neck and fretboard, respectively, melding an articulate basement with a sustain-favoring ceiling for smooth and pronounced note definition. Taken together, this premier pair supplies a pliable palette of foundational firepower that suits this smoldering take on the classic T-style 6-string.
Cutting-edge MFD engineering meets iconic Esquire wiring
If standard Magnetic Field Design (MFD) single-coils are too tame for you, then you’ll dig the G&L Custom Shop ASAT Solamente's soapbar-style Jumbo MFD single-coil pickup. This jumbo-size pickup yields more output than G&L’s regular MFD single-coils, supplying an in-your-face snarl that exudes authority with every note you play. This pickup exhibits more midrange than vintage Kalamazoo-built soapbar models while maintaining that legendary design’s coveted harmonic complexity. Sonic versatility goes beyond the distinctions of the slant-mounted Jumbo MFD, as this Custom Shop ASAT Solamente features the vaunted Esquire wiring. Using the 3-way selector, a triptych of tone-crafting tools opens the doors to myriad worlds of sound design — pliable, personalized performance is always on tap!
Flexible yet focused performance
With such dynamic performance possibilities, G&L spared no effort to craft this Custom Shop ASAT Solamente with a plethora of vintage-style playability appointments. Its hard rock maple neck is contoured into G&L’s Modern U shape, and the Indian rosewood fretboard’s 7.5-inch radius ensures its old-school feel will accommodate your favored playing style with speed, comfort, and accuracy. The ASAT Solamente’s 25.5-inch scale is bookended by premium G&L hardware: a 6-in-line set of tuners and a chrome Saddle Lock bridge. Toss in the authentic bone nut, and you’re raring to rip buzz-free chords, leads, riffs, and licks all night long.
