what route is on a new ASAT Special Big MFD ?

[Fumble fingers]

I see it doesn't have a bath tub route .... was curious if you could use a clear pick guard or will there be route showing if you do ??

I think Scott (gitman01), took the pg cover off of his red sparkle one and it didn't have any hidden routes. Yes, use a clear pg.

does anybody know if there is much sound difference between a ASAT Special with Alder verses a ASAT Special Deluxe mahogany ??? .... does the Special and Deluxe have a over-wound bridge pick up ?? ... or the same bridge pu ??

I replaced the white pickguard on my Special with a clear one. It goes much better with the greenburst finish. The white guard was fugly.

cool ..... I'm thinking of adding two more saddle lock guitars to the fleet and the big MFD's will be one of them , pick guard of a Special would save a couple hundred over a Special Deluxe , but ... the dry climate we have in the winter makes for PG static , my non pick guard G&L's don't seem to be effected by the dry weather static electricity like the PG models , so now it's a matter of paying extra for less static come winter time ..... I have a new ASAT Classic coming that is a candidate for a clear PG


are the Pickups the same between Special and Special Deluxe on the newer G&L's ??
