Hey there,
I am looking at buying a USA Fallout in the very near future. I have played a few and really love the general feel and the pickups. I have learned that I am definitely not a 12" radius guy, but rather feel most comfortable on a much tighter radius like my early 90's ASAT special. I know that guitar has a 7.5" radius, but the neck profile itself seems pretty tough to determine as I was told they were hand shaped during that era. I was told it may be closest to a "classic plus c". It seems pretty tough to find many around that don't have a 12" radius and the standard #1 neck in my area. Anyone have experience with a newer neck profile that resembles an early 90's ASAT, or any other advice?
Thanks

you don't want Classic C plus , that's a wide 1 11/16 nut .... you want a slim C with 7.5 ..... it's just a touch thinner than a Classic C most noticeably in the high frets , for me it's a easy switch from my newer Classic C necks to my 1986 Broadcaster ,but the newer Classic C is beefier up top

Definitely not a touch thinner. The classic is nearly an inch thicker at the 12th fret than the slim.Fumble fingers wrote:you don't want Classic C plus , that's a wide 1 11/16 nut .... you want a slim C with 7.5 ..... it's just a touch thinner than a Classic C most noticeably in the high frets , for me it's a easy switch from my newer Classic C necks to my 1986 Broadcaster ,but the newer Classic C is beefier up top
