I posted this question on the semi's board, but no responders.

Let me know and I will be able to answer you Captain Ibanez Daveh Username: Daveh Registered: 07-2005 Posted on Thursday, July 27, 2006 - 6:46 am:    I have an Artcore United, AS193. (you've seen a couple pics in the serial number thread) The neck was made in Japan. Thanks,Cap.!

The United series should have been the same unless Ibanez wanted to try something really different from standard. Only the JSM100 had a non-standard and very unique, compound radius. Here is the press release of those fine (but discontinued) Artcore United guitars: http://namm.harmony-central.com/WNAMM04/Content/Ibanez/PR/Artcore-United.html Here is a UK dealer's listing of all current Artcore models. All of them have the same 305mm radius. http://www.theibanezstore.com/oscommerce/index.php?cPath=122_21_26 Hope this helps.
