Possible to swap s-500 and ASAT necks?

Post by sanityclause »

Hi all,

I know, this is probably a dumb question, but I want to know if it's possible that an S-500 neck (or other Strat style G&L neck) might painlessly fit an ASAT neck pocket.

Anyone ever done this, or know about it? It's a 4-bolt ASAT (2009 Bluesboy) and let's assume the neck is either new and undrilled, or from a 4-bolt body.

Thanks in advance...

Thanks, Craig, that does help.

Of course it begs the questions - anyone out there done this? Successfully or not?

Thx...
