A friend of mine asked me some questions about a Pro Am Classic (with pickguard) as he is interessted in bying a '91. Is this the same guitar as a Classic, or what will the difference be?

He likes the neck shape of my '99 Hollow T Classic (TA Std with 1 11/16") and asks if this Pro Am Classic has the same neck profile and width? I cannot answer him as these are not listed when searching the database.

Here's the specs for the Pro Am:
Model - Classic
Body Finish - Honey Burst
Body Wood - Swamp Ash
Neck Wood - Hard Rock Maple, Pau Ferro Fretboard
Neck Finish - Matching Headstock, Satin Back
Nutwidth - -
Frets - Heavy
Back Shape -
Hardware - Gold
Bridge - Vintage Tremolo
Pickguard - White
Pickups - SK1R SK1 H2+
Switching - Series/Parallel

So, what will the difference be in a Pro Am Classic and a Classic, and does it have the same neck profile and nut widht as my '99 HTC?

i believe there is no such animal as a 'pro am classic'. classic's have pick guards, pro am's do not. same gtr.
others can correct me if i'm wrong.

I'm almost sure the seller has mixed up the models, and that this is a Classic.

we called them pro am classics back then. same as a classic. previous to that time almost everything was a pro am or grand am. the neck is probably a 1 11/16 ta standard, most were. i don't see any notes in the original build book so it is probably standard. back then the necks were a bit thinner, usually -.020" from what we do now.
