How large is the rout in a semi-hollow ASAT Classic?

[Case24]

I was wondering if anyone knows how large the hollow rout is in a semi-hollow ASAT Classic? Are there any pictures from the factory before the top goes on?

The reason I'm asking is I just found out from Dave through Craig that my 2004 ASAT Classic is actually a semi-hollow body, F-hole delete, flame maple cap, exposed wood binding with a black painted top and body. I aways thought that the binding was maple but now I know for sure. It just didn't look like alder. The semi-hollow body explains the under 7lb weight of the guitar. Thanks to Craig and Dave for researching the guitar for me.

Thanks Fumble! I also found out that the guitar was originally delivered to Real Guitars in Ft. Myers, FL and some how it found it's way to Canada.

This is the only photo i have of semi-hollow route (taken in 2003 pre-CNC):



It should give some idea of the size.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Craig. I didn't realize how much wood is removed.
