Baroness – Purple

G&L official site confirms Baizley own an ASAT Special. The band also offers a signed G&L guitar as a reward for pledging on their upcoming album, "Purple".

Prior to the first Baroness tour following the release of "PURPLE," I worked with G&L to create several custom guitars with unique purple stains and finishes to offer our more gear-centric fans; especially because i have a real affinity for the G&L ASATs, which i wanted to share with an audience that wasn't as likely to be as familiar with the model as i was. However, when i received the guitars, i had a very hard time letting go; they were all incredible instruments, and i held onto a couple of them. However, after several tours and recording sessions, i'm positive i have TOO MANY (blasphemy, i know) of these. With that in mind, i'd like to make this Classic "S" ASAT available. I have played this guitar a lot, and i have loved it dearly (also helped to have a great guitar-tech), i can honestly say this guitar plays, feels and performs as well as any i've ever played. Furthermore, it has some sentimental value, based on the album for which it was so obviously designed to accompany. If you are interested, i can only hope you'll create as much or more with it than i already have. Dont worry, i have many other ASATs to keep me company. Attached is a video of this particular instrument onstage in Toronto in 2016.
