Neck Profiles on Ibanez 70s-80s MIJ AS80, AS50, and AM50

[John A.]

Does anyone have experience with the neck profiles on these models? I know that the current Ibanez semis mostly have thin/flat-ish neck profiles, but I'm curious as to whether the older MIJ ones are chunkier. Thoughts?

My MIJ AS 200 from '87 has a thin D neck profile. Never had a guitar with a flater neck.

I believe Ibanez website has measurements and pics of specs of their various models.

I have an AS50 from 1981 and an AM205 from 1984. Both have profiles similar to a '60s Gibson Slim Taper neck, around .79-.80in thick at the first fret. Pretty thin.

Thanks, just the info I was looking for.

I can confirm, I have an AS50 (1980), the neck is slim at first fret, kind of a mix between C and D, and doesn't get much thicker at 12th. But it doesn't seem that thin. It's very comfortable, like the one of a GB10.
Ibanez neck at its finest.

Context for my question is that I have a D’Angelico semi, which has the same neck profile (slim, flat-ish) profile as the more recent Ibanezes I’ve tried. Meanwhile, my Seventy Seven archtop and my Les Paul have chunkier Gibson 50s style necks, which I’m finding I somewhat prefer. I was wondering whether one of these early Ibbies might be closer to that, but I guess not.
