I’ve read and heard a lot of good thing about the G&L ASAT. A lot of the reviews I have read have been favorable with a notable exception. It neck dives. <\/p>\n

I’ve designed the body so that it is actually an inch an a half longer than a ASAT. That will help a little. Using Ultralite tuners<\/a> will help as well. If I were to keep the body at it’s current thickness, it will be a huge amount of mass to keep it from neck diving. Unfortunately, I’m projecting it to come in at @13lbs, which is way too heavy, so I’ll be making the body thinner to take off some of the weight.<\/p>\n

Goal is to make a 5 string ASAT that doesn’t neck dive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well done!<\/p>\n
