The newer ASAT has the gun oil finish and is a 9.5" radius. The older one is a satin finish neck and I believe it has a 12" radius. G&L advertises USA ASAT Specials as having 7.5" radius necks. Is it possible the older satin finish USA ASAT's had the larger radius? I have a 90's S-500 as well and I believe it has a 12" radius. The older satin finish ASAT neck feels more like the neck on the S-500. Can anyoone out there clarify?
Thanks

One of the reasons I'm wondering is because I see many sellers advertising the necks as 7.5". I guess that shouldn't happen with new guitars as the information is on the COA. But I'm under the impression that they only copy/paste G&L's website information wthout actual knowledge of the radius of the guitar they are selling (be it used or new).
