So since I am looking, how did you arrive at this pickup combo? How do you best like to use the pups? Like what selector settings and such?

G&L ASAT's come in various pickup configs.
The 'basic' ASAT has a pair of 'MFD' single coils, adjustable soft iron polepiece ceramic mag pups.
My ASAT Classic Bluesboy has one of those in the bridge position, and a Seymour Duncan Seth Lover SH55-N Humbucker in the neck spot:
My ASAT Semi-Hollow has a pair of the 'Soapbar' or Large MFD single coils that look like P-90's. They act like P-90's on Steroids:

There was a G&L Bluesboy Classic Semihollow (Or it may it have been an ASAT Classic Custom Semihollow) in kind of a orange/amber color with an f hole and a standard MFD tele bridge pup and the newer extra fat MFD neck pup that I understood acts more like a p-90 designed by Leo, again as I understand. The owner of the store grabbed that guitar off the closeout sale rack and took that one home with him. I cannot afford that guitar, but if I were to get a Squire CV tele, it could be a mod to consider in the future. I do not like the Squire Vintage Modified thinline tele, because it has the wrong scale. I know Xaviere makes one, but I want the 9.5 radius neck. So right now, I am leaning CV tele.

The G&L Tribute ASATs all have 9" radius, 25.5" sclae necks (my USA's are 7.5", like Leo's 50's Teles) and they make the Bluesboy Classic Semihollow...with the same USA MFD bridge pup but a G&L-USA Alnico mag humbucker instead of the Duncan Lover at the neck.Originally Posted by sunvalleylaw
New, they're quite a bit more than Xavieres or Squier CV's -- they're about on a par with some MIM Fenders in list price -- but if you can find one used, they're in the $300-ish range.

Now a used Tribute ASAT could be a real possibility. A guy can find a used thinline Bluesboy for 300ish if I guy takes his time? That could be a possiblity!

I dont have any trouble getting whatever tone I want out of my tele.
I played out this weekend and wanted a smoother more "humbuckerish" sound.
Tweaked down the treble on the amp tone control...then when I started playing I tweaked it a little more with the guitar controls, and...bingo!
Smooth as silk!![]()
That's funny that way round. I never really found any use for a bucker on neck. All you can use it for is a 'violin' like lead, or dark jazz sounds, right? I don't really like that so it's been pretty useless for me. Conversely I always thought a single at the bridge is like an icepick---I've had a couple of normal strats but I could never find a pickup setting I really liked on strats except mid+neck both on is real nice for cleans....with bucker on bridge strats work well though IMO.
That's what I had for a dozen years on bucker-guitars like my LP...I had the neck pup wired as two singles instead of humbucking---like strat 2nd pos.

Too bad that the pups didn't work.![]()
It's on the Big Brown Truck back to MF in exchange for another one.
Hopefully, this one will make some sound.
