MFD Pickup Covers

Post by Nubs »

I searched through the knowledge base but didn't see any additional info on it.

I was playing around with the guitar generator and noticed for the S-500 there are 2 pickup cover options: black & white. So I have a couple of questions about them. First, do these pickup cover options exist for other models that use MFDs such as the ASAT Classic? Second, are there other pickup cover options for the MFDs such as mint or creme? If not, does anyone know if there are any plans to add those options in the future?

Thanks in advance!

See this post in the G&L Knowledgebase: July 1, 2015-present Guitar Pickup Cover Options.
It is one of the posts in this Thread: July 1, 2015-present G&L U.S. Specifications and Options.

There are no optional pickup covers for the ASAT Classic. I am not aware of any future plans to add any additional ones.

Hope this helps.

Ok good to know thanks Craig. Is there any reason you know of why the ASAT Classic neck pickup cover can't be changed from black to white? Is it a different size/configuration than the S-500?

I checked the G&L On-Line Store and found that they do sell the ASAT Classic MFD neck pickup with both Black and White pickup covers. They just don't currently sell the ASAT Classic MFD pickup covers separately.
The AC neck pickup cover top is 2 9/16" long while the S-500 neck/middle pickup cover is 2 3/4" long.

I have emailed Dave to find out if they have any future plans to offer AC neck pickup covers in various colors separately.

Stay tuned.
