FACTOIDS & TRIVIA
After the maple body Broadcaster was discontinued in 1986,
G&L occassionally used maple for ASAT guitar bodies through
1991. Sometimes the maple was figured, as shown in this '89
ASAT Signature model. Also, note the 3-piece body which was not
uncommon for G&Ls manufactured in the late 1980s including this
example from
1990.
