Lot Essay

This guitar is similar to one of Parfitt's favourite guitars, a white Fender Telecaster, and was presented to Parfitt by Leo Fender. Fender set up G&L in 1979, and launched the ASAT six years later as an up-to-date version of the classic Telecaster. The case which accompanies this guitar is the original case for Parfitt's Telecaster.
