Here's an ASAT Classic that I had modded. It's a Fralin '57 Humbucker in the neck and a Seymour Duncan Jerry Donohue Special in the bridge. I also had the Bigsby added along with the tune-o-matic bridge.

Hey Rick,
Very nice! Now you have me thinking of the same mod for one of mine. The JD bridge pup is sweet, I learned all about it with my parts JD.

Hi,
very nice guitar RickT!
I'm taking the opportunity to ask people about putting a humbucker in the neck position in my asat classic.
The problem I REALLY love the sound of my axe for rythm but when solo time comes, I'd like a biggest sound. I must say I play modern rock thought marshall JVM.
So I was thinking of maybe putting the seth lover in the neck, but i'm afraid to lose a good middle position sound, because I love it...
Here's my dilema...
Maybe another humbucker or a p90, but I'm also afraid of the sound of the middle position...
Thanks for helping

You solo with your neck pickup? now that is just odd.
Very nice mods Rick, looks good.

It depends, sometimes I use the bridge pickup too for soloing.
You never use the neck pickup for solo sirmyghin?

RickT, that is an awesome guitar. I am going to put a Bigsby on my Classic S soon. The guy who did yours did it right!-- Darwin

Very nice, Rick. I bet it sounds killer. I really want a Bigsby equipped ASAT...

Not often, I generally opt for the bite and cut of the bridge over the warmth and looseness of the neck.

That is officially too cool. Wish I could hear it.

...
there any number of situations where soloing on the neck pickup is the thing to do, esp. IMO on a guit like the Bluesboy with the Seth Lover there....
conventions like bridge pickups are for solos, neck pickups are not are something I just don't understand ... lotta good tone up there that you're missing out on ....

Now that I am playing the ASAT, I am finding this, I find the Carvin C22J in my bucker guitar to be just inadequate. Blues solos do well on the ASAT specials neck though. It was more a deficiency of the one guitar than anything that shaped my thought.

that's more like it,
... it's not easy to find a good neck bucker IMO (not easy to find a good "regular" Tele neck pickup either) ... but the Seth Lover in the Bluesboy is a real good one.
cheers,
Jon

Actually I'm in love with the sound of the middle position in my ASAT Classic, so I don't want to lose it putting a neck humbucker.
I think i'll finally put a 4 way switch to fatten up (is that correct?
) my sound, without loosing what I have already
