Nice addition to your collection, and a beauty as well. When you get her fired up let us know your impressions.
I don't know how to play very well yet so I can't give a great review but my initial thoughts are; the bridge pickup is very similar the S-500 MFD but the neck sounds so much better. There is a much more full range sound with some nice bass/mids. I'm having fun playing Bound for the Floor (by Local H). I think Scott Lucas switches between a raw bridge pickup sound to the bass pickup he adds to his guitars on the two low strings (when live) but with this ASAT special I just start off in the bridge then switch between it and the middle position to get some bass sound during the chorus.
I love how I can just transition to some Skynyrd without grabbing a HB guitar, though I think I need to get my other amp up and running so I can have one set up just for MFD guitars and the other for the rest (and I need to figure out what guitars to leave in what tuning, haha). I don't need to tell you how dynamic the MFD pickups can be. I love it. I am not disappointed in this one in any way.
