The full story of the Broadcaster/ASAT cannot be told without discussing the SC-2 (and SC-1) first. They were not the first with Magnetic Field Design (MFD) pups: the F-100 preceded them with MFD humbuckers in mid-1980. Nor are they the first with single-coil MFDs; that honor goes to the S-500 introduced in March 1982. But those Jumbo MFD single-coil pickups, frequently mistaken for P-90s by those not into G&L, were introduced in September 1982 on the SC-2, an ‘entry level’ model. In all honesty, there is the S-200 prototype but that model never went into production. As such, the SC-2 is the true forefather and inspiration for the model making up the vast majority of my collection. The first incarnation of the SC-2 had a 2-piece, Mustang-shaped, slab soft maple body and hard-rock maple neck with 7½” radius maple fingerboard with large position markers, pickup selector, and simple wiring harness (volume, tone, 3-position pickup selector). Most SC-2s were equipped with a Dual-Fulcrum Vibrato (DFV), but this one has a Locktight (Saddle-Lock) bridge. For pre-BBE SC-2s, the Guitars by Leo website does not provide information on how many of each subtype were produced, i.e. first vs. second body style, hard tail vs. vibrato. The numbers must have been high enough not to warrant the Rarebird label in the Registry for any of them. G&L reissued a slightly different looking SC-2 between 2008 and 2017.
