Also, see: List of pickups used in G&L guitars.
Hope this helps.

Hm looking through the option list its seems like I would probably go the route of a G&L Asat Special to get the 7 1/2 Slim C Vintage Tint Gloss neck I want. It doesn't seem to stay in the options but would I be able to order an Asat Special with the SC2 wound bridge pickup? Now the next hardest step is deciding what finish...

For ASAT Classic Custom (neck position), ASAT S-3 (bridge position), please see Jumbo MFD single coil (other).

It starts off fairly slim and gets beefier up the neck. These specs were part of the #1 neck.

Fretboard radius is a separate option, so you can order the SC-2 with a 7 1/2" radius.
If I'm not mistaken, sometime in or after 2013, the SC-2 bridge pickup was changed to the same pickup used in the ASAT Special.
Reference the G&L On-Line Store: PICKUP - JUMBO MFD SINGLE COIL (STANDARD).G&L Magnetic Field Design pickup as used on all ASAT Special, SC-2 and ASAT S-3 (neck and middle position only) guitars. Available in Black, White and Crème.
For ASAT Classic Custom (neck position), ASAT S-3 (bridge position), please see Jumbo MFD single coil (other).
I found this post in 2014, which confirms that the bridge pickup in the SC-2 model is the same as the ASAT Super model bridge pickup:
Large MFD of SC-2 bridge position availability?
Here is the link to the version of that pickup in the G&L On-Line Store: PICKUP - JUMBO MFD SINGLE COIL (OTHER) [select the ASAT S-3 (RW/RP bridge position) pickup].
I will check with Spencer after he returns from vacation later this week, to confirm if this is still true with the current production builds of the SC-2.

I want to tame the harshness without having to use an EQ pedal if possible and was thinking about swapping for a lower value pot. As it is, the treble on my amp is essentially off and the tone knob is rolled back until it is almost off and I'm still just getting too much of the ultra highs, even on the neck. I've lowered pickups and tried different strings and all that. I think it's inherent to the pickups and pots and think a lower value or some other mod could help, but maybe I'm wrong.
