Have been looking at P90's again and the Tribute ASAT Carved Top P90 and Tribute ASAT Junior II keep coming to mind.
I prefer the Saddle Lock over Tone Pro bridge but pickups look the same. JR has hog body and P90 has flame maple-topped mahogany body
Here are Pick up comparisons from G&L.
G&L AP4285CR P-90 single coil (42 gauge-8.5K turns) Neck position of Tribute Ascari GT90, Neck position of Tribute ASAT Deluxe Carved Top P-90
G&L AP42105CR P-90 single coil (42 gauge-10.5K turns) Bridge position of Tribute Ascari GT90, Bridge position of Tribute ASAT Deluxe Carved Top P-90
G&L AP4285B P-90 single coil (42 gauge-8.5K turns) Neck position of Tribute Fallout, Neck position of Tribute ASAT Junior II, Neck pickup of ASAT Classic Bluesboy 90 (7/2015), Neck pickup of ASAT Classic Bluesboy 90 Semi-Hollow (7/2015), Neck pickup of Fallout (7/2015)
G&L AP42105B P-90 single coil (42 gauge-10.5K turns) Bridge position of Tribute ASAT Junior II
Who around here owns these or one of the two and what are your impressions?
Note that the specs on the MF/GC website are not quite correct.
Here are the actual specs:
ASAT Deluxe ‘Carved Top’ P-90 (Musician's Friend/Guitar Center calls it "G&L Tribute ASAT Deluxe Carved Top P-90 Electric Guitar Orange Cream")
Finish: Butterscotch Blonde, rosewood fingerboard
Body wood: Alder with top binding
Neck wood: Hard Rock Maple with tinted gloss finish
Neck dimensions: 1 5⁄8” width at nut, 12” radius
Neck shape: Modern Slim C
Pickups:
· Neck: G&L AP4285CR P-90 single coil with creme cover
· Bridge: G&L AP42105CR P-90 single coil with creme cover
Controls: 3-way toggle pickup selector, volume, tone (with push/pull for tone expansion*)
(*) What this switch is doing is placing a .0022uf capacitor across the pickups,
which lowers the resonant frequency of the pickups by approximately 2KHz.
Think of the “Wah Pedal pulled back ½ way” sound. Or the “Woman” tone
if the woman wasn’t tipping the scales at 200 pounds.
Bridge: G&L Saddle-Lock™
