Pickup-Routing in ASAT body Classic vs Special (Big MFD's)

Post by thunder100 »

Hi

Does anybody have a picture of the body routing of an ASAT classic vs an ASAT Special?

I get an ASAT special and I am thinking wether with a custom made pickguard (Chandler)I could transform it to a classic layout(lipstick/Normal MFD) too*

Thank you

Roland

*I am aware of the bridge-metal issue as the specals have no traditional boxed steel bridge

Just a though

I hoped that due to size the Big MFD's are swinginigpools so I would do something even in the middle like a Classic S.Point was to get additional a bit Twang in

Just a mental prepation as this is on its way

Roland

And I know once here I will not touch it as it will sound so good
