Hey Brant,

With a little more information like serial number and pictures we can surely help. What year did you purchase and were you original owner?

Look forward to seeing pictures.

Here are your photos:

I cannot quite read the serial number on the neck plate, can you post a photo of a close up of the serial number? I will ask Memo to look it up
in the factory logs to get specs and completion date.

Hope this helps.

Serial no. G018671

I sent this S/N plus your photos to Memo and here is his reply:

Hi Craig,
G018671 comes back to an Invader, I tried G016871 this comes back to a Rampage, obviously not matching the ASAT in the photo. The body wood looks like maple, if you want to provide a better close up photo of the serial number i can try again, all the best.
Memo

Powder-coating over the stamped Serial Number can be difficult to read. If you could take a closeup photo of the neck plate in good light, I will send it on to Memo for
him to decipher. Another thing you could try is to get a soft pencil rub with a thin tracing paper sheet over the neck plate serial number. Send me or post those photos
and I will pass them on to Memo for further research.

Hope this helps.

Thanks I'll do that.
Brant

Tracing paper didn't help. With high magnification the
serial reads: G018571

I sent that serial number and Memo replied:

Hi Craig,
We got a match! Completion date is December 3, 1986, color is described as blonde, ebony fretboard, 1 5/8" nut width, 7.5 radius, all the best.
Memo

So, you have a first year in production, ASAT model with a Blonde finish on a Maple body. Ebony fretboard with a hard rock Maple neck with #2 neck.
Reference post on neck profiles: What are the USA neck size options, past and present?

Hope this helps.

What kind of bridge and pickups does it have, so I can add it to the registry?

Bridge is the Saddle-Lock bridge and the pickups are G&L Magnetic Field Design™ soapbar style single coils.

Sweet ASAT. I need to get some earlier models in my collection.
