Are these Fullerton MFD pickups from an ASAT classic tribute

Post by Jorg »

I’m looking at a used G&L that had the pickups changed but the originals are included.
Unfortunately the seller doesn’t know if the originals are American MFDs.
I think I heard there are some models out there where they used non American pickups.

Unfortunately these 2 pictures are all I have. Is there any way to tell by these pictures alone?

Here are links to the two images (which each will show in new tabs):

They are not G&L MFD pickups nor are they G&L Alnico pickups, either.

Here is what G&L MFD ASAT Classic pickups look like:

Here is what G&L Alnico ASAT Classic pickups look like:

Here is more information on pickups used in G&L guitars: List of pickups used in G&L guitars.

Hope this helps.

Thank you!

I’m guessing it’s maybe one of those models then that was produced at a cheaper price with some generic pickups.
