5 string AL neck is same as the 5 string Sterling, same size headstock too. Its slightly smaller than a StingRay headstock. They all have the same spacing AFAIK.Im not in the market for one, but ive always been curios to know if the necks on the Big Al feel the same as the necks on StingRays and Bongos. Are the specs the same and do they have the same string spacing?
