Asat Deluxe

Post by kfehr »

This may be a silly question. I have an older Asat Deluxe a bolt neck that use 4 bolts instead of 3. The Set-up insructions were very helpful. Because this unit has 4 instead of 3 are there any differences in set-up? I would assume neck relief etc. would all be the same.

Secondly can one easily install a bigsby on this guitar

Thanks

One could not easily install a Bigsby on this one. I am assuming you have a saddle lock bridge and that would not work with a Bigsby. That is the short answer to an issue which involves many technical aspects. -- Darwin

There shouldn't be any differences in setup, other than not having the option of using the micro-tilt adjustment. With a four-bolt neck you would need to use a shim to change the angle in the neck pocket. On all of my G&Ls, only one (the '82 SC-2) has needed any micro-tilt to achieve a good setup.
