Just curious if any of you have any experience with different pickups in a G&L ASAT Classic Tribute. I was wondering if maybe the new Alnico pickups would work in it or if any one else has a better sounding pickup than the stock ones. Thanks in advance!

I think there's a video of Don Mare Super Sports in an ASAT (or there used to be). Seemed to work well.

I have the semi-hollow version of that guitar and decided on Bill and Becky Lawrence's MicroCoils -- I found them to be a *huge* improvement over the stock MFDs, and that modest little Tribute is now my #1 instrument. I made a few other mods along with the pickup swap, but you can treat the MicroCoils as direct "drop-in" replacements, so if you're OK with the stock bridge, switch, controls, etc. they'll work just fine.
