Questions regarding Bodies and Pickups

Post by surfco »

How many pieces are the USA G&L Asats? (including alder and ash)
Are the MFD pickups on the Asat Special swappable for regular P90's?
If not what could be a replacement?

I believe most modern solid body G&L's are 2-piece bodies. It's my understanding that a P90 can't drop into the same opening as an MFD, but Rio Grande makes replacement pickups the size of a large MFD that have more of a traditional Tele tone.

One more question.
Do you guys think I can get a V shaped neck 1'' 1st fret to 1'' 12th and 12'' radius?

Not from G&L. The largest V neck is their "Modern V" which has a 1-5/8" nut width, 12" radius, and a profile taper of 0.890" to 0.930".
