Pretty sure it was 04 when they went with the 5 piece J Craft necks. I used to be a die hard fan of the older Jem necks, but I absolutely love the new necks

Better quality fret finishing and just a better feel all around (IMHO) They are a tad bit thinner than the older Jem necks, but not quite as thin as a DBK neck which is not quite as thin as a Wizard if that makes sense
The AANJ was introduced in 1993 with the unveiling of the Vwh. Great improvement over the heel joint!!! (again, IMHO)
Rich, if I am wrong, please come kick my arse and set me (us) straight on the facts
