Will a Tribute ASAT neck fit a Tribute Fallout?

Post by editorjuno »

Can anyone tell me if a Tribute ASAT neck will fit a Tribute Fallout? I'd love a Tribute Fallout in black but must have an all-maple neck, so I need to know if a neck swap is possible. Thanks in advance!

Yes, I checked with Paul Gagon and here is his reply:
Hi Craig.

It absolutely should. I measured the neck butt of the ASAT I have here in my office and compared it to my Fallout and they are the exactly the same.
Having said that, I have on occasion needed to do a bit of "fine tuning" when I replace necks on the Tributes......or any guitar for that matter. The fine
tuning is not always needed but when it is it's very slight. Almost like just showing the butt of the neck a piece of sandpaper and scaring it into the
neck pocket. Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Paul
