FACTOIDS & TRIVIA

The ASAT Z-3 Semi-hollow was introduced at the same time as the solidbody version in late 1997.  It was available with or without an F-hole and the tone chamber construction produces a slightly different sound compared to its solidbody brother.  Unlike the individual pickup routes of the ASAT S-3, the ASAT Z-3 and Z-3 S.H. have a "bathtub" route for the pickups.
