I recently dug out my 1995 ASAT with the MFD pickups that I hadn't played for a while. Used to love this guitar and how it sounded but over time migrated to other tele styles. Playing it, I realized that one of the reasons I probably stopped using it was the beginnings of now very noticeable arthritis in my hands; the skinny neck just doesn't work for me now.
Does anybody - G&L or the neck manufacturers - make replacement necks that could be spec'd for a bigger neck for these old G&Ls with the three-bolt joint? I've done some searching online and it doesn't look promising.
Would hate to have to sell it (but I don't think my hands are going to get dramatically better). Any leads appreciated. TIA!

Also, check out this post in our G&L Knowledgebase: Compilation of Replacement neck info posted on the G&L Forum.
For information on the various necks G&L offered over the years, see: What are the USA neck size options, past and present?.
Hope this helps.
