This Limited Edition is inspired by a beautiful piece of wood gotten from a friendly supplier and finds its roots in G&L’s Savannah Collection produced by the Custom Creations Department (CCD). The piece of wood is a slab of flame Port Orford cedar, also known as Lawson cypress, a species native to Oregon and parts of California. According to Spencer Brown, the shop was able to get 10 1-piece tops out of it and decided to use them for a “Special Run [of] ASAT Classic Bluesboy Semi-Hollow[s]”. The Savannah Collection is reflected in the use of a chambered, semi-hollow okoumé body in Whiskey finish. Combined with the cedar top finished in Natural Satin Frost, it gives each instrument a stunning look. It has the usual ASAT Classic Magnetic Field Design (MFD) bridge pickup but combined with an uncommon neck pickup. Instead of the usual Seymour Duncan (SD) Seth Lover (SH-55N), or even an SD ’59 (SH-1N), one finds an SD Jazz (SH-2N) humbucker with the coil-split option in use. The 5-position pickup selector allows one to cycle through the following combinations: 1- neck, 2- neck split, 3- neck hum + bridge, 4- neck split + bridge, 5- bridge. Otherwise it is the standard volume control and tone control on a chromed control panel, no pickguard (of course), hard-rock maple neck with a 9½” rosewood fingerboard, Jescar Medium Jumbo 57110 frets, 1¹¹⁄₁₆” nut width, and G&L branded closed tuning machines. When these Limited Editions were built in February/March 2017, neck production methods had just been changed leading to the disappearance of the headstock birthmark. G&L also stopped using the brushed aluminum S/N plate in late-2016, for a short time using water slide decals again, before they started to laser-etch the S/N into the back of the headstock using walnut stain to make the “CLFYYMMnnn” format with “Fullerton, California” underneath stand out. Hopefully this will help to thwart the attempt to pass off Tribute-series instruments as American made. Let’s wait and see! Each of the Limited Editions has an additional “n of 10” etched in the headstock but no CCD logo. No other information is available on this model.
