Nice playing. I just got asat classic. I am infatuated with this guitar. I have am pro ii with nocaster pickups and not sure whichbis best, just different. G&l neck is chunky good.

MFD has a similar range to that of a humbucker! Seems to be a real sleeper. Very nice to see the different styles with strumming and mostly clean sounds. Great clip, great watch.

Nice axe playin 🤙🏻

Let me be the next person to say, 4 years later, thanks so much for this great comparison. It's really well done and clarified so many things for me.

I’m could definitely hear the slight snappiness and tightness over the fuller mahogany. They both sound good, and edge eachother out at various points depending on what you’re playing. Great job!

Nice. How do you like it

Mediocre? Well, that keeps me in the toilet. Don't try and nail it perfectly anyway. Give it your own swing and be you!

Thanks, Rob, and hello from our new channel! 🙏

MFD sound muddy in comparison. Lack top end sparkle

DAMN ! Loved the G&L tone.

It’s all personal preference, but I have the asat classic s alnico, 2 legacys, and 1 s500. I do not like the mfd pickups at all. I actually bought alnicos from G&L and converted the s500 into a legacy

Nice demo. Both sound great. I need a tele with the classic tele sounds . Can I get that with MFD’s?

Very Nice!

u should do a cover of planet caravan by black sabbath

MFDs utterly destroy alnicos. People like the trad thing though. I don't get it.

If I had only one pickup to work with I’d choose MFD because it’s more versatile. Alnico’s do have that unique high end chime to them that I love so much though. Hard to pick!

Cant hear shit with all that noise, is this about the guitars or playing the songs??

I like alder more in this video

Nice work

this is great. thanks!

First off, let me complement you on your playing. You’ve got some good versatility and skill. Now, do have a point of order to make. The vid title is misleading. Different neck wood. Different fingerboard wood. They also have maple veneers, but to be fair they both have those so that wouldn’t affect the comparison. The neck and fingerboard woods would.

The best comparison video I've ever seen!

Your way better than average, but being humble is the way to go. Cheers

Thank you for a really illustrative comparison. Not fancy, maybe, but one of clearest and most effective demonstrations I've seen. I also appreciate your modesty, but bear in mind there are plenty of us working to get as good as you are.

G&L, the guitar communities best kept secret.

Digging MFD on leads but the I prefer the ASAT pu’s for the rhythm I have found that with thr MFD pu’s you need to roll of volume more to vary the sound. Nice jams! Thanks great video

I know this is a couple years old now, but thanks for making and sharing this. Good playing, and very helpful to compare. I enjoyed watching, and hearing the differences!

A lot of work (fun) invested in this comparisons. Awesome, MFD for me!!!

Thanks for making this video.

Thanks for making this, I love how it basically shows that the MFD gives you a tube screamer kind of push without a pedal

You may have not hit every single note on Sultans of Swing but you did capture the drive and the spirit. Congrats. With respect to G&L alnicos vs MFDs, I have Legacy with the alnicos and also an ASAT with the MFDs. I prefer the MFD sounds because they are fatter with a lot more voicing available, especially if you tweek the individual poles ( a crazy good option with MFDs). But, in this particular demo you made the alnicos sing and showed the benefit of having both available to get just the right sound for a particular song. Again great playing!

Thanks for an excellent video. Apart from a few and short moments where the Core seemed to be slightly fuller sounding, I couldn´t detect audible differences. Still this is YTube and even with headphones, details may not be perceptible. What is your evaluation? By the way your playing is fine, keep on rocking.....

Some years ago I ordered a Steinberger and after waiting several months finally gave up (after receiving a Steinberger case from a different supplier which won't fit any other guitar and which I still have), so screw Steinberger. (You're a great player, though, "Actually".)

"Actually", I've never seen anyone able to play those fast runs on "Sultans" with a flat pick...impressive! (And you've helped me decide...G&L alnicos for me!)

Helped me decide - thanks!

Hack

nice demo

Good job man. Way to put yourself out there.

The clarity of the MFD neck pickup is amazing.

I have a Fender Strat with Alnico's and just bought an ASAT Classic Tribute w MFDs. The Strat is definitely brighter while the ASAT is darker and definitely louder. The Strat sounds a bit thin sometimes to me. Great playing man! I'm interested in which one of those is your fav?

Another thank you. Excellent demo, great playin too.

do you still have this guitar by chance?

One of the best videos I've watched!! Your playing is clean, crisp and organic!!

Nice playing

Awesome

Thank you Rob - I'm a big G&L fan and have always bought the Legacy over the S500, but what's your preference? I'm considering an ASAT currently, but I suppose you can't really go wrong with either! I hope to see more of your videos in the future.

Really good band... Performed their last show (sad face) at my retirement party in Misawa Nov 09th 2018....
