Eastman's are spec'd/published at 1 3/32", so a little narrower than most of the Kentucky necks, which seem to be 1 1/8" (not listed on the Saga site, but that's what's published on most vendor listings). Eastman's are radiused and Kentucky models come both flat and radiused, IIRC. Some models specifically say they have a radius but some models just don't say. I believe this is something that may be dependent on when it was manufactured, too, so if you're looking at one, I'd simply call the vendor.
