I have a 2000s ASAT Specal Tribute that I love. I would like to own another one but this time a USA ASAT Special. I see a used one on eBay. I don't mind if it's a little beat up but the bottom edges of the neck in the lower photos shows that it has scraped up sides and one bolt on the back looks a little worn. Is this ASAT legit? Could this be some kind of Frankenstein project or do you think it's a real deal?
Also any other input is appreciated like when you think this was made or any other advise. Personally, I think it could be from the 1990s.
One more thing, I don't like the white color pick guard. Can I easily replace it with a tortoise shell pick guard?

Re: ASAT Special eBay question
looks good, obviously a player but everything looks legit.
I think it's priced about right, IMO it would be a deal at 550-600 ...and if it's what your looking for then that might make the buy it now price reasonable. I've loved every 80's-90's ASAT I've played and always miss the ones I've sold. I'm guessing it's a '93-94 by the serial # .
The only thing defect I see that might affect it's playability is the stand burn on the back of the neck...it sat too long on a stand or hanging on a hanger...but that can always be remedied with a little elbow grease .
cheers

Great, Thanks.
I just purchased it with the buy now option. The springs on the bridge look slightly aged so I probably just need to clean it up a little.
