Just getting to the last details of speccing my order for an Asat Classic with 1 3/4 nut neck.
This will be getting a B-bender, and I'm very confident it's going to be great for me.
The Asat's wide heel will make for a very generously usable fingerboard all the way up even with the wider nut, and G&L's materials and build are just excellent.

I've played a #4 neck on a USA Comanche semi hollow body.
It didn't feel too wide. I prefer the #3 neck myself.

i like the wider neck on the bluesboy. btw, if you get the semi hollow, get the f-hole, or drill a hole from the bridge pup route through the center piece into the upper chamber. as a relief valve if you will.
