The first guitar shown below is John Jorgenson’s ASAT Z-3 prototype, with 1990 date stamps but likely competed in 1993 given the presence of Japanese sourced potentiometers. Even here does the wiring harness drawn by G&L’s Paul Gagon in 1998, accessible on the archived G&L website, not completely match reality. The 250kΩ Audio Taper volume potentiometer has a 200pF ceramic treble bleed capacitor, absent in the diagram, and although the tone pot is indeed 500kΩ Audio Taper, the 22,000pF (.022µF) cap acts as a treble bleed, soldered between signal and the wiper, instead of being in series to ground. By 1999, the production year for this ASAT Z-2, CTS pots were used again, as also evidenced by this ASAT Z-3 Semi-Hollow from a year later. Both have an identical volume control as above. But the tone control is the familiar 250kΩ Audio Taper pot with a 22,000pF (.022µF) treble bleed. Of course they differ in using a 3-position pickup selector on the Z-2 and a 5-position pickup selector on all other guitars in this section. As for the modern day ASAT Z-3, this 2007 Will Ray Signature model demonstrates that, beyond the addition of a push-pull volume pot to allow other pickup combinations, nothing has changed in terms of the harness.
