ASAT Tribute; when did they change pickups at the neck?

Post by danzigdan »

I'm not sure how to ask this question any other way. I saw an ASAT Tribute Classic for sale locally (couldn't get to it in time) that had a light ash finish (not natural, but the white-ish see-thru finish) and had MFD pickups at both positions. I wish I had taken a snapshot of it.

Most of the newer models see to have Tele-ish looking pickups at the neck position. When did they change this? Or did they? I see a few that have two MFD's, some that don't.

Thanks.

My understanding is that, unless it's one of the discount models (sold for less at MF or GC), the ASAT classic should have MFD pickups. See https://glguitars.com/product/asat-clas ... te-series/

I forgot about that. I guess I'm seeing a lot of the "discount" models second-hand then.

For the current Tribute Series models, including the various Limited Editions, see:

Hope this helps.
