Install ASAT Classic MFD Neck In Blues Boy?

Post by SamIV »

Will the ASAT Classic MFD Neck Pickup fit in the rout of a Blues Boy Neck rout without too much work. Don't mind a little routing, chiseling or whatever little wood work it takes. I understand this pickup requires a little deeper rout. And this is a Tribute body by the way.

See this post in the Knowledgebase: Replacing the Seth Lover with a Tele single coil in Bluesboy and this in the Gallery: Album: ASAT Classic Bluesboy Picture Diagrams.
Notice that the Bluesboy's bridge MFD pickup ground plate must be modified, so you will need to either replace the bridge pickup with a stock ASAT Classic bridge pickup or
modify the existing to what a stock AC bridge pickup is.

Have you considered selling or trading your bluesboy for an ASAT Classic?

Hope this helps.

It is a Tribute ASAT Classic, just not happy with the body on it. It is basswood and the Bluesboy body is ash
