The following images are in the ASATs/Broadcasters and 1996-1997 Ad Slicks/Memorabilia section of the Pictures Gallery:

This model was very similar to an ASAT Deluxe what with its mahogany, maple-capped body and rear-loaded controls. However, the Custom had G&L ASAT-style pickups in place of the Deluxe's outsourced humbuckers. The model was intended for the European market but very few (possibly somewhere in the neighborhood of 25) were made before the project was scrapped and production was stopped.
