Help with Info / Identifing an ASAT

[floyd]

Hi all i was hoping i could get some help with Identifing this ASAT like what do you call this type of bridge , color name, are these the MDF pups? I pulled the neck and it seems to be an 04 or 00 model but the last number is smeared a bit. what would be a good used price for this beauty would be? any help would be appreciated thanks.

Asat special with a saddle lock bridge, looks like Trans orange finish over Alder (it doesn't look like as to me), and a gun oil tinted neck. Those are the large soapbar MFDs, very freaking nice pickups imo and in my experience dead quiet even under high gain. They drive very well, and have great spank clean. I love soap style pickups be they the traditional p-90 or otherwise.

Thanks for the info, this is the first G&L i have played and yes these pickups do sound good!

It definitely looks like Swamp Ash to me. I see the typical type grain pattern of Swamp Ash.
The back body photo clearly shows it. It also has a Premium transparent finish which would
usually be applied on an ASAT Special Swamp Ash body. It also has the natural wood binding.

Very nice indeed!

Please do add it to our G&L Registry.

Hope this helps.

Any Ideas on resale value?

I would guess in the range of $650 - $900.

Just my $0.02.

You may be right Craig, there is a sport or 2 on the back of the lower horn that look to have wide enough grain for ash, the pictures might be decieving me as I cannot see the 'streaks' in the grain, as I would call them.
