G and L's z-coil pickups have that capability you're talking about.

I’ve got a swamp ash special and a modern eagle iii. The narrow field humbuckers are great pickups. Surprised that they’re not more popular.

This seems to be flat sawn ash. I have a stand of swamp ash in Northern Ontario and thought I would have to quarter saw the wood. Any ideas?.

Just rewired my 2002 SAS from the 3 position switch to a Free Way 3x3-07. Now I have a 6 position switch and wired the neck humbucker to also split on the tone pot which gives 11 total different pup combination tones- including the bridge and neck split like a Tele sound. And I can get the middle SD Vintage Rails by itself. Much more versatile!

I have a 2000 SAS bought new and I still play it most of the time. I changed the pick ups for hotter ones from Fralin. I still have the brilliant McCarty pick ups that it came with. Nothing wrong with them at all. I love those. Just wanted to try something different. Such a beautiful guitar. They don’t make them anymore because swamy ash is not available anymore. Very scarce. They have them in private stock for that reason. This would cost you close to 10k if you are after their private stock version.

So it's a NF3 only made of Swamp Ash wood rather than Korina wood. I love my NF3.

I have 3 SAS guitars. 1 with 3 narrowfields & flame maple neck/fb 2 with McCarty hb's and Duncan rail. 1 rosewood fb 1 maple fb. All excellent but like the narrowfields best.

Have a swamp ash special from 1997. Love it but the neck pickup is unusable for me.

I have three guitars with swamp ash bodies. They just sound better than the rest.

I picked up one of these SAS a few months back! Maple neck w. 3 narrowfields version. It's close to my perfect guitar to be honest. It sounds like what I was trying to get my strat to sound like! A thicker-but-not-quite-P90 sound. And it plays beautifully!!

If i'd had the money I'd buy more of them 😂

Fender stopped using Swamp ash couple of years ago because it is nowadays very hard to get in proper quantities and quality's
I reckon it is same with PRS

I think one reason would be that the emerald ash borer has killed a lot of ash trees, I'm not sure if that affects swamp ash or not but.

I found that same thing with the trem arm on my SAS, on a 24 fret model there is more gap for the volume control...
