Thanks dhgleaves... I should mention the Sperzels on my ASAT do not have G&L stamped on them. Is it still safe to assume they were factory installed?

The Sperzels never had G&L stamped on them. It's the other ones (Schallers) that have the stamp although the locking ones apparently didn't back them. I think it's safe to say that either yours were factory installed, or Sperzel non-locking tuners were factory installed and someone switched them to locking. That's what I did with my 90s Legacy.

However, I thought the BF tuning system was comprised of a different nut, which allowed the different strings to have different lengths. The pictures of your guitar look like it has the stock nut.... So, what exactly is the BF tuning system on your guitar?

First time poster on this forum.
So my wife comes home with a 1995-ish ASAT (serial number 0045786) she purchased at a tag sale for a good price. After inspecting it I’m unsure as to whether the tuners were installed at the factory (custom order or special run) or after purchase by a buyer. There is only one “nib” hole adjacent to the larger shaft hole and it’s perfectly positioned for the “nib” on the tuner. I see no evidence that an original “nib” hole, one appropriate for a G&L tuner, was patched up. So my question is, is anyone aware of G&L offering Sperzel locking tuners (or for that any other non-G&L tuners) on a custom order or special run basis?
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
