ASAT Classic semi hollow. The color is like a TV yellow. The grain is visible through the finish,
It has an ash trey bridge with individual brass saddles. Each saddle is notched for the string. The bridge has ASAT CLASSIC stamped into it and just behind the saddles between the high E and B string is stamped 12.(radius?)
I checked the neck radius when I changed the strings and i was 91/2. The neck is birdseye maple as is the fretboard and appears to be unfinished, Almost like the music man gunstock oil and wax finish. And the neck plate has G&L stamped on it.
The pickups have been swapped out. They are Rio Grand(?) single coils in both the neck and bridge position. Black single ply pick guard. A previous owner also drilled a hole between the volume and tone knobs. I assume there was some kind of toggle there at one time.
The tuning machines are sperzel locking tuners in a brushed chrome finish.
The serial # is CL0xxxx 1997/8 ?
As I said above, I cannot find any pictures or descriptions that match this guitar exactly and I'm wondering what gives,
Any help would be most appreciated.
Not sure how to attach photos. So maybe I'll some pics later.
Thanks everyone. Hope this sounds familiar to someone.

What about these tuners? I suspect they were not stock in 98. Right?
I was going to ask if it could be a newer neck but the serial number is on said neck so that can't be the case.
I guess the answer to the tuner question will shed some light.
Also it has a one ply black pickguard. That looks to be unusual too.
Thanks again man. Very informative and helpful.
