I read (I guess somewhere on this board but I haven't found it back for now) that ASAT are now built with a 12" radius and that actually the 7.5" radius is optional (even if it's advertised as standard on the spec pages of G&L's website). Could you confirm or invalidate that?
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).
AFAIK, the specs on the G&L instrument spec pages are up to date, except for the SC-2 page.
G&L recently lifted the restriction on the SC-2 neck size, body wood, and finishes. I'm sure Dave will get around to
updating those specs to reflect this change.
BTW, if not special ordered, all USA ASAT models except for the Will Ray Signature and the ASAT Deluxe models, necks are #2.
The Will Ray Signature and ASAT Deluxe models standard order neck is the #1.
I cannot speak for what the dealer do or don't do regarding their advertising of the instruments they sell.
One of the benefits of the new Custom Spec Sheet provided with each new instrument is that it provides all details of that instrument.
Hopefully the dealers will provide this information when displaying and/or advertising an instrument. G&L provides
two copies of the Custom Spec Sheet for that reason.
Hope this helps.
