I absolutely hated the MFD pickups in my ASAT Special Tribute. I swapped the bridge out for a Vintage Tallboy from Rio Grande Pickups. I'll probably change the neck pickup at some point, but I don't use it a lot, so there's no rush. Also considering swapping out the Vintage Tallboy for the Muy Grande (hotter) or their Vintage Tallboy Humbucker. The Vintage Tallboy sounds great. I also swapped out the wiring for a Mojotone wiring kit with treble bleed.
Thanks for the comparison. I think you nailed the description. One criticism I have is the Les Paul sounds a bit too wooly. But then again,, my 60's lp standard can sound a bit thin at times. Do you know if the mahogany has a laminate on top of it or is it solid mahogany and if so how many pieces is it?
Being that the AC10 is a very bright amp I think the Epiphone suited that amp better. I generally like MFD pickups but they sounded too bright for this amp, or the eq should be adjusted for them. FWIW
Not sure why people have to compare guitars 😂. The GL would have to sound and play way better than the Epip before I strapped on that ugly chunk of wood. I guess that’s why I bought the Epiphone 😂
I love my Asat Special, it feels, looks and plays so good I can't put it down, though I would like a mod to get the jumbo mfd's not quite so trebly.

@@christopherguzzi1316 it does not have a laminate on top. This one appears to be three pieces, which is consistent with most of the ones I’ve seen.
