I'm looking at getting a Classic S Alnico and have questions. Some of which will occur as my research and this thread progresses. hehe.
I'm currently considering ordering the following:
Alnico Classic S
Clear Orange finish, single white body binding and white pickguard.
rosewood fretboard with stainless frets
Questions:
1) Are there any photos of what the neck profiles look like ? I keep finding info in measurements but what are C, V and U shapes ?
I have a 82 Ibanez ES-50 that has a neck I love and I'm looking for something similar. Decades ago I owned a late 60's strat and wasn't a fan of how it felt.
The local dealer has no Asat Classics in stock so i can't try one . The sales guy there said he thinks a Slim C is what I'm looking for ?
Are there any commonly sold guitars that have similar neck profiles ?
Maybe I should create a template of my ibanez and upload it so someone can let me know which one would be similar.
2) What are the fret sizes ? They list jumbo and vintage, but again what does that mean in the real world ?
3) I was going to ask about the visual difference between the different "dots" but I figure I should be able to find some close up photos online.
I'm a bit worried about spending over $2,000 on guitar I have never played and have considered buying a tribute but I'm also thinking... go big or go home.
The biggest annoyance IMO is that the resale value is so low. Too many people who would rather buy a "real" fender ?
Thanks for any help.
