The 2011 G&L ASAT Classic Blues Boy in Tobacco Sunburst is where vintage attitude meets modern precision, delivering a tone palette that feels both familiar and wide open. Built on a resonant swamp ash body, this guitar has a lively, articulate voice with a natural snap and air that makes every note feel immediate and alive. The scraped wood binding adds a subtle, handcrafted elegance, framing the finish in a way that feels both refined and unmistakably G&L.

What sets the Blues Boy apart is its versatile pickup pairing. The Seymour Duncan Seth Lover humbucker in the neck position brings warmth, depth, and a smooth, vocal quality that excels for jazz, blues, and rich clean passages. Flip to the G&L MFD ASAT Classic single coil in the bridge, and you get punch, clarity, and that signature bite with more output and headroom than a traditional design. Together, they cover an impressive tonal range, from smoky and rounded to cutting and dynamic, all accessible via the simple, intuitive 3-way switch.

The boxed steel bridge with six saddles ensures excellent intonation and sustain, while the knurled chrome dome knobs and tortoise shell pickguard complete the classic aesthetic with just the right amount of attitude. At 7 lbs 8 oz, it strikes a comfortable balance, substantial enough to feel solid, yet light enough for long sessions.

The neck is where this instrument really shines in the hands. The G&L Classic C profile starts at a comfortable .830" at the first fret and fills out to .960" by the 12th, giving you a reassuring grip without ever feeling bulky. Paired with a 12" radius, medium jumbo frets, and a silky satin clear finish, it plays fast and effortlessly whether you're bending, chording, or digging in. The hard rock maple neck and rosewood fingerboard add stability and warmth, while the PLEK treatment ensures clean, precise playability up and down the board.

Equipped with G&L/Schaller tuners for rock-solid tuning stability and housed in its original hard case, this Blues Boy has been well cared for and remains in very good condition. It’s a player’s guitar through and through. No gimmicks, no excess, just a beautifully built instrument that delivers tone, feel, and reliability every time you plug in.
