G&L ASAT opinions.

[wingsdad]

Can you say more about the Magnetic Field Design pups on the Special?

The only complaints that I've head about them is that they sound too hi-fi.

What's your experience Father of the Wing?

Hi-Fi?

Both types of MFD's have adjustable pole pieces. The soapbar MFD's with more windings on the Special are higher output. An ASAT Classic Deluxe gives you one of each.

I've A-B'd a Classic and a Special and they (the soapbars such as the Special's) are also less susceptible to 60cycle hum.

MFD's are ceramic magnet pups. The pups on a G&L Legacy, as on my Fender Strats are alnico mag. My ASAT is quieter, needs less preamp to get edge than either of my Strats, and also is more sensitve in reacting to vol/tone. pots.

I'd had 3 different Fender Teles over time, the last one about 25 years ago. None were as versatile in tone as this.

Robert: G&L (USA) has 5 simple neck profiles options. A V-shape 12" radius w/ 1 5/8" nut is one custom option, so the one you played isn't typical.

Here's the link to G&L's site. For more on pickups and necks, etc, see 'Features' and 'Options'. To check out the various ASAT models, go to 'Instruments'. On that page, there's the link to the Tribute Series, too.

The people who say that they are hi-fi must be reacting to the ceramic pups. I've read that most just love them. I wouldn't know, having only had a couple of minutes with a Classic Custom.

The G&L's are definitely something I'm thinking about.

The G&L that I showed in the previous picture has ceramic pickups. If you want to hear what it sounds like here's a sample. The lead is played on this guitar with the neck and middle pickups. This was recorded through a J-Station instead of a real amp. In case you are curious, the rhythm parts are played on a different guitar, one that has humbucker pickups.

Sounds good. The temptation keeps growing.

I don't know why, but I can't listen to it with Firefox and have to switch back over to Explorer
