Recently completed Custom Shop Legacy...

Post by Craig »

Just finished this beauty. Headed for delivery to UpFront Guitars, in Bellingham, Massachusets.

Check out the ASAT Classic Alnico Bridge pickup and I wonder if the mini-toggle is the standard pickup expander function?

Here's a photo of the body and neck before completion:

Well done, Dave Brown and the other craftpeople involved! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Reason: Corrected the neck pickup description - it is not an AC neck pickup.

It is an ASAT Classic G&L Alnico Bridge pickup.
Likely either one of these handwound pickups:
CLF-52-ASTCL-B Handwound with wind specs based on Leo’s 1952 pickup.
42 gauge wire and 8000 turns, approx. 5.7kΩ

CLF-62-ASTCL-B Handwound with wind specs based on Leo’s 1962 pickup.
42 gauge wire and 9200 turns, approx. 6.7kΩ
Reference: G&L Custom Shop Handwound Alnico Guitar Pickups
