In early-2008, a total of 60 ASAT Classic Bluesboys Spalted Maple were built by G&L’s Custom Creations Department in the context of the Special Build program. This guitar was such an (esthetic) success that in May 2008 another batch of spalted maple was purchased and used to create 100 Legacies and L-2500s. And the spalted maple top ASAT Classics were augmented to a total of 100 guitars too. But the addition 40 instruments would be a mixture of Bluesboys and Classics proper. It might still be a total of 100 ASAT Classics were produced, but the data in the Guitars by Leo Registry so far shows 3 ASAT Classic Spalted Maple guitars with sequence numbers #91, #93 (this guitar), and #96, so it might even be there are at most 10 of them in existence. A swamp ash body with a belly contour is used as the substrate for the spalted flame maple top, all finished in Clear Natural. It comes equipped with 2 traditional sized tele-style MFD single-coil pickups, and 3-position pickup selector, volume control, and tone control, all rear-loaded. As a nice bonus, the neck is Bird’s Eye maple (in clear finish this time) with a 12” East Indian rosewood fingerboard, Dunlop (Medium) Jumbo 6100 frets, and non-locking Sperzel tuning machines. Whereas the Bluesboy Spalted Maple came in a molded hardshell case, the Classics came in a tolex hardshell case. In addition, they were issued with a Factory Tour DVD and (Limited Edition!) Silver Certificate of Authenticity signed by Efrain Meraz, director of Custom Creations at the time. Although there is no specific listing for this Special Build model, still check out this 2017 archived snapshot of the old Custom Creations page.
