You may recall my acquisition of a three bolt 94 ASAT that was purchased for project anyway. Great guitar in it's own right but there were plans....
Originally wanted to turn this into an ASAT 3 but knew deep down I'm a 2 pup guy and a Bluesboy variety was missing from the collection. (already three pup options in ASAT Z3 and Will Ray models) While a standard Bluesboy is fine I knew a big MFD would be the ticket for the bridge and a Paul Gagon neck humbucker to round it out. So off it went to Andrew, my local guitar hero, G&L dealer (Music Authority), master luthier and all around great guy. All I needed was a new pickguard from Chandler (parchment color) and he would do the rest. Quick turn a round from Adrian Chandler and here she is, with sticker still on the guard.
My Bluzeboy (name can be changed upon better suggestion)
Tone is fantastic. Andrew and I both ran her through an Orange AD30 and it hits all marks. Of course better from him than me, but ah well.
Here is a sound report - more meat in the bridge than regular small MFD (good ol' ASAT tone), middle position is killer and rolling tone knob or volume knob gets wide range of tone, and lastly the Gagon neck pup can hit all from rock to jazz. I will run her through my Boogies and Fenders this week and weekend to really see what she can do.
