Needless to say, I wanted the Tele sound, not the ASAT Special sound. They are very different.
After doing some research, I discovered that Rio Grande Pickups sells drop-in replacements for the jumbo MFDs. I installed a Vintage Tallboy bridge pickup over the weekend and I could not be happier. The guitar has gone from a farty-sounding mushball to crystal clear Tele tone without sounding overly brittle. I've gone from not liking this guitar at all to not being able to put it down.
I'm going to do the neck pickup next, but I don't play much on that pickup, so it will be a while.
At any rate, for those who want to turn their ASAT into a Tele, check out Rio Grande Pickups.
