What’s even crazier is that my old S300AD was apparently on the small side, at least going by the limited data set of the three I’ve measured. That difference of 5/100th of an inch or 1.27mm made all the difference in the world to me. After some measuring, I came to the conclusion that my problem with the neck was the depth, and what really blew me away was the fact that my S300AD was. To give some clarity to what I mean by this, I once bought a 1973 Starfire and absolutely hated the neck, only to discover that the neck width was identical to my beloved 1979 S300AD: 1 5/8″ at the nut. The necks are not huge, but they’re not pencils, either. The fretboards on all S300s are unbound jet-black ebony with dot inlays and 24 wide frets. The width at the nut is almost exactly 1 5/8″ at the nut on every example I’ve had (which is six seven, now) and while I generally dislike this smaller nut size, the necks tend to be deep enough to make playing them enjoyable.
