T-Style Twang Meets Semi-Hollow Soul
If you've ever wished your T-style guitar could do a little more — a little more warmth, a little more depth, a little more of that airy resonance you get from a semi-hollow — the G&L Tribute ASAT Classic Bluesboy Semi-Hollow is worth a serious look. Leo Fender's final take on the traditional single-cutaway bolt-on gets a distinctive twist here: twin voice chambers and an f-hole routed into the body, giving it a livelier, more open character than its solid-body sibling.
And the pickup combination is the real story. You get Leo Fender's own G&L MFD single-coil at the bridge for that iconic T-style snap and sparkle, paired with a Paul Gagon-designed G&L AS4255C Alnico humbucker at the neck for smooth, warm tones that go well beyond what a standard T-style can offer. It's a genuinely versatile pairing that covers a lot of ground.
This one's a used example in Very Good condition, finished in a transparent Clear Orange that lets the Swamp Ash top grain show through beautifully. If you're after a guitar that does the T-style thing but with more tonal options and a slightly different voice, this Bluesboy is ready to go.
This G&L Tribute ASAT Classic Bluesboy Semi-Hollow is in Very Good condition. The guitar is fully functional, It has wear see pictures.
Body and Construction
The Tribute ASAT Classic Bluesboy Semi-Hollow is built on a Poplar body with a Swamp Ash top, featuring G&L's twin voice chambers and a single f-hole. The semi-hollow construction softens the midrange attack and accentuates the low and high harmonics, giving the guitar a slightly more resonant, open quality compared to a solid body. The bolt-on neck joint keeps things bright and punchy on the attack.
The Clear Orange finish is applied over the Swamp Ash top, letting the natural grain character of the wood come through in a warm, glowing amber tone. The 3-ply Cream pickguard complements the finish nicely. Overall body construction is solid and well-executed for the Tribute line.
Neck, Fretboard, and Playability
The neck is Hard-Rock Maple with a comfortable medium C profile — a shape that works well for a wide range of playing styles and hand sizes. The Maple fingerboard has a 9.5-inch radius, which is a classic vintage-leaning curvature that feels natural for both chord work and single-note playing. Nut width comes in at 1 5/8 inches, and the 25.5-inch scale length delivers the familiar full-tension, bright-attack feel you'd expect from a T-style instrument.
Twenty-two medium jumbo nickel frets give you good note definition and a comfortable feel under the fingers, with just enough fret height for bending without being too tall. The 18:1 ratio sealed-back tuners hold tune reliably and make precise adjustments easy.
Pickups and Electronics
The pickup layout is what makes this guitar unique in the G&L lineup. The bridge position carries a Leo Fender-designed G&L MFD (Magnetic Field Design) single-coil — the same style of pickup Leo developed after founding G&L, known for its clear, complex harmonic character and strong output. The neck position features the G&L AS4255C Alnico humbucker, designed by Paul Gagon, which delivers warm, full tones with excellent note separation.
A 3-position pickup selector lets you access bridge, neck, or both pickups together. Volume and tone controls round out the simple, effective control layout. The bridge is G&L's traditional boxed-steel design with individual brass saddles, which allows precise intonation adjustment at each string.
