The following images are in the ASATs/Broadcasters section of the Pictures Gallery:

This guitar is a "hybrid" with an ASAT-style body but with S-500 pickups and a 5-way switch. Very few were made during the pre-BBE era; however, the model was reissued by BBE for a number of years and the reissue achieved modest success. This guitar is also somewhat the "basis" for the 1999 www.guitarsbyleo.com Limited Edition, though the latter is a semihollow instrument with a mahogany body.

Also check out this page and this page on Greg Gagliano's site for more information and specifications.

(Note: in order to be listed here the registry entry must contain the string 'Pre-BBE' somewhere in the Other Features field.)
