This is from a post about ASAT models.
ASAT Deluxe Solid mahogany body with bound, flame maple top, contour back, rear-loaded controls with coil splitter, 2 Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups. Beginning in 2008, 2 G&L Alnico humbucking pickups. Beginning in 2010, optional 2 Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups or 2 EMG humbucking pickups.
So the SDs are an option? Also, do you know what EMGs are offered?
I checked with Steve Grom (Director of Manufacturing) about this. Here is his reply:
We can do the ASAT Deluxe and F-100 with either Seymour Duncan or EMG pickups. It’s really a matter of the routing in the body …. Once we are setup rout a “humbucker” type cavity in the body, it gives us the opportunity to use any pickup with those physical dimensions ( Duncan , EMG, etc)
Thanks
SteveIf you order an ASAT Deluxe and don't specify any specific pickups the guitar will be loaded with SD pickups. If you want EMG or G&L Alnico humbuckers, have your dealer specify one of those pickup sets. BTW, the EMG's that G&L uses are the Active Series 81 and 85 and the Seymour Duncan's are '59 SH-1 and TB-4.
Hope this helps.
