That mini toggle I don't like there, I wouldn't be able to roll the volume.
As far as tuners, you need a string winder, or to eliminate string wind (you don't need much past 1 round if you are plugging in the center.
Looks nice overall, you are the first I have heard complain about getting the better case though.

Does anyone know of the neck profile on the 30th?

I never had an issue with the mini toggle on the 3-bolt. I am yet to try the 4-bolt. Why they moved it? I don't know.
lol about the case. I have a real nasty habit of dinging doors and walls carrying around cases that shape. The cheap plastic case did the job perfectly and it was so much easier to walk around with. It also withstands scratches better. The vintage tolex is guaranteed to scar with me handling it.

Do you know of any reason why they changed the placement of the mini-toggle?
Also, the Registry does not have a drop down for the 30th S500 anni.
I see there was a Mahogany S500, is there any pics of that one?

I did put a query about this but have not heard back about the history of this change.
I did find out that you can order either a mini-toggle or a push/pull pot for the expander switch.
You might be able to specify the location of the mini-toggle, as well. Check with your G&L dealer.
Sorry, I don't have any pics of the S-500 Mahogany Special Build.
Hope this helps.
