The G&L ASAT® HH RMC takes the iconic ASAT into humbucker territory while retaining the feel and playability that have made the ASAT a perennial favorite among players. Essentially a fusion of Fullerton and Kalamazoo, the HH RMC features G&L Alnico humbuckers housed in an Alder body. An innovative G&L Saddle-Lock™ bridge transfers string energy right into the body end-grain to make the most of the resonant body wood combination. The familiar ASAT feel continues with a hard-rock maple neck sporting an easy-playing satin finish, comfortable 9 1/2" radius and Jescar 57110 medium-jumbo nickel-silver frets for silky playability.

The moment you open the luxurious Tolex hardshell case, you’ll be greeted with a stunning instrument and delicious aroma that’ll have your pulse racing.

Founded by Leo Fender in 1980, G&L USA instruments continue to be made in the historic G&L facility on Fender Avenue in Fullerton, California, the Birthplace of Bolt-on™.

Variax Standard Ltd Edition run of 225 - Emerald Green

VARIAX LIMITED EDITION EMERALD

In celebration of the Line 6 20th anniversary, we’re excited to introduce the Variax® Limited Edition Emerald—a special release model that features beautiful emerald green finish and a custom serialized number plate. And with an extremely small production run, these beautiful instruments won’t last long—get yours today before they’re gone for good

Line 6 and Yamaha joined forces to introduce Variax® Standard—a player-friendly guitar that delivers more tone and versatility than any other instrument in its price range. Instantly access a collection of vintage electrics, classic acoustics and more. Access alternate tunings on the fly. Create any guitar imaginable with Variax Workbench™ HD software. Whether you’re recording in the studio or loading up the trusty tour van, Variax Standard will redefine what you expect from your guitar.

UNFLINCHING QUALITY

Thanks to the remarkable craftsmen at Yamaha, Variax Standard delivers the rock-solid build you’d expect from a high-quality guitar. The lightweight alder S-type body, one-piece maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, and proprietary tremolo bridge deliver total comfort and playability, while the custom-wound pickups serve up loads of sonically rich tone. Add in our proprietary Variax HD technology, and you get a guitar that goes above and beyond the call of duty

VINTAGE SOUND, AND SO MUCH MORE

Everyone knows that a vintage Strat® has amazing tone. But for many of us, owning one is a dream rather than reality. Variax Standard delivers a rich, bold sound based on* a priceless ‘50s Strat®, minus the hum and buzz that can plague older instruments. Plus you’re not limited to the sound of just one instrument—you can access dozens of classic guitars and pickup types to find your ideal tone. With Variax HD technology, you get an instrument that combines legendary guitar tone with pure versatility, playability and innovation—all for a price that’s within reach

CUSTOM-WOUND ALNICO PICKUP

Want to take a break from guitar modeling and go old school for a bit? Variax Standard comes with three custom-wound single-coil Alnico V magnetic pickups that capture every nuance of your playing with pristine accuracy. And if you want to go even further, you can also access over a dozen classic pickup types thanks to Variax HD technology

PERFORMANCE UPGRADE

No need to spend extra time and money upgrading your guitar—Variax Standard comes with high-quality components that set it apart from other guitars in its class. A lightweight alder body delivers clear, full-bodied sound with plenty of sustain. And the lubricated Graph Tech nut provides precise tuning stability to help you stay in tune as you bend strings

Deceptively Simple Design

Fender is guided by one clear, simple directive: make life better for musicians. While the original Telecaster certainly did that (and then some), they weren’t content to rest on their laurels. Their team of mad scientists examined every component in near-microscopic detail. If they were able to improve it with a new design or modern materials they did; if it didn’t need improvement, they left it alone. When the wood chips and solder fumes settled, what was left was the American Professional Telecaster—everything you need to play your best

 

Professional is an attitude. Creativity is a way of life. These instruments are built for players who are looking to push the boundaries of creativity and personal expression forwards

V-Mod pickups—crafted with a proprietary blend of alnico magnet types—and the newly redesigned ShawBucker humbucking pickups are voiced specifically for each position

The new “Deep C” neck profile offers more substantial shoulders, creating a comfortably natural playing feel. American Professional Precision Bass guitars use the ‘63 P Bass® neck profile while the Jazz Bass features a fast-playing, slim “Modern C”-shaped profile

Fender have added three new models to the American Professional Series: the Tele® Deluxe, Jazzmaster® and Jaguar® guitars. Three new colors—Sonic Gray, Mystic Seafoam and Antique Olive—are joined by the revival of their instantly recognizable Butterscotch Blonde (available only on Tele models)
