FACTOIDS & TRIVIA

Beginning in 2003, the ASAT Z-3 was fitted with a push-pull volume pot "expander switch" that allowed the bridge + neck and bridge + middle + neck pickup combinations. This feature definitely increases the versatility of the Z-3. The guitar shown here has the push pull pot and has the optional #1 neck with 12-inch fingerboard radius.
