    The arlier models had flat boards (mine from early 2005 for example). The more recent models have radiused fingerboards but you may still find some flat ones out there.

    600, 800, and 900 series appear to have radiused necks. The 500's I have seem to be flat.

    Nope. My 505 is radiused, too.

    All current production seems radiused. Older ones have flat.
