New ASAT pickup combo/wiring
I have a tele style parts guitar that I mess around with from time to time trying different things. Being a G&L lover I tried something a little different and am pleasantly surprised at the results. I have a standard G&L ASAT bridge pickup teamed up with an SD mini HB in the neck. I have it wired like an S-500 which involved adding an addtional knob to the control plate. Basically a PTB wiring on a tele style guitar. The sound of this guitar is just awesome and with the PTB system it is very versatile. I can get many different tones out of this guitar. I'm surprised G&L has not already done something like this with the ASAT as the results are spectacular.

I can't seem to figure out how to add a photo. I looked at the guidelines for adding photos but it doesn't make sense to me.

I should add that I elongated the control plate a little. The three controls fit on a standard control plate but it was very tight and I had to use one minature size pot to make it work. Making the control plate a little longer works far better.
