I'm not an ASAT (or any other G&L model) owner, but if you'll indulge me, I'd like to respond to your question, Chuck.
This time last year I was checking out G&Ls. I tried a couple of ASAT Classic Tributes and a USA. I don't claim to have the most skilled hands or the most sophisticated ear, but I remember taking note at the time that *for me* there was not enough difference between them in terms of playability and sound to be worth the extra money for an American made ASAT.
BTW, I didn't wind up going with G&L, but I liked them. They were just a little different than what I was looking for. The neck felt different; not bad, just different. And those MFD pups were sure hot, but again just different than what I was looking for.
