ASAT Special 2012 vs current: neck radius, nut width, etc.

Tue Aug 09, 2022 9:40 am

I understood that before July 2015 the standard neck had a 12 inch radius and that after that date the standard neck became the modern standard with a 9.5 inch radius.

I am not sure though, whether this applies to the Tribute models as well. I am also curious about more details of the current and 2012 necks.

I ask the question, because I want to know if I have to hut down an older instrument or not.

Thanx for your help.
