FACTOIDS & TRIVIA
This ASAT III is a fraternal twin to the black 1990
ASAT III with the main difference being that this guitar has a standard
ASAT fingerboard radius of 7.5 inches. Production of this model was quite
low, and G&L researcher Paul Bechtoldt estimates that less than 150
made. In 1995, BBE reissued the ASAT III which remained in production until
1998.
