When consulting this album in the Guitars by Leo Gallery, both sketches show the use of 500kΩ potentiometers. That was not true in the beginning, This 3-bolt ASAT Deluxe, only produced for less than a year when the model was introduced in 1996, has a CTS 250kΩ Audio Taper volume pot with a 200pF treble bleed capacitor and a CTS 250kΩ Audio Taper tone pot in series with a 47,000pF (.047µF) cap to ground. And of course it also has the 3-position pickup selector and coil split mini-toggle switch. Somewhere during 2005, the value of both pots doubled to 500kΩ while other parts stayed the same. This ASAT Deluxe Semi-Hollow Mahogany from around February 2005 still has an identical harness as the 3-bolt ASAT Deluxe while this 2002 4-bolt ASAT Deluxe, which received some major rework towards the end of 2005, including its pickups and wiring harness, has CTS 500kΩ Audio Taper pots. Both guitars still have a 200pF treble bleed capacitor on their volume pot and their tone pot is again in series with a 47,000pF (.047µF) cap to ground. Also notice the control layout is identical between these three ASAT Deluxe guitars. The harness remained the same until 2011 as evidenced by this ASAT Deluxe Korina prototype even though the 3-position (blade) pickup selector has shifted down and into a less angled orientation. That prototype evolved into the Korina Collection ASAT Deluxe II released later that year, which still has the usual 500kΩ Audio Taper volume pot with 200pF treble bleed capacitor but the 500kΩ Audio Taper tone pot is push-pull with a 22,000pF (.022µF) treble bleed cap soldered to it. This Black Ice Collection ASAT Deluxe II from 2015, the youngest in this collection, also has this wiring harness. The use of a push-pull tone pot instead of the mini-toggle switch for the coil split was also applied to the regular ASAT Deluxe around 2012. And where the ASAT Deluxe (discontinued in April 2021 while being replaced by the ASAT HH RMC) would retain a blade pickup selector, the ASAT Deluxe II uses a 3-position toggle switch to match its more Gibson-like appearance.

There are a couple of oddball ASAT Deluxe models in existence. The ASAT Classic control panel  of this ASAT Deluxe ‘TeleGib’ prototype, assembled about the same month as the aforementioned Korina Collection ASAT Deluxe II, hosts a similar harness as that guitar but lacks the capability to split the coils. This ASAT Deluxe Semi-Hollow TV Jones prototype from mid-2012 has the “older” harness with a CTS 500kΩ Audio Taper volume pot with 200pF treble bleed cap, CTS 500kΩ Audio Taper tone pot in series with a 47,000pF (.047µF) cap to ground, and blade pickup selector. Of course, one can argue the TV Classic pickups are a very different kind of humbucker compared to the standard ASAT Deluxe. The ASAT Special ‘Cabronita’ prototype, built in 2015 and also equipped with TV Classic pickups warranting its inclusion here notwithstanding its model designation, has the “new” harness with both ALPHA pots being 500kΩ Audio Taper, the common 200pF treble bleed cap on the volume pot but, unlike the ASAT Deluxe Semi-Hollow TV Jones prototype, a 22,000pF (.022µF) treble bleed cap on the tone potentiometer and a 3-position toggle switch as the pickup selector.
