Ok Rook...the neck of the 57 is a one piece maple neck that is "V" shaped on the back of it. The 62 has a separate rosewood fingerboard and the neck is a "C" shape. The pickguards are made a little different too, the 57 is a single one piece with 8 screws connecting it to the body, while the 62 has a three piece laminated pickguard secured with 11 screws. Colors available are about the only other real difference.

The 7.25 radius is more round, where the 9.5 is flatter. The 9.5 makes bending strings easier (supposedly, as I have never had a problem with the 7.25 with bends).

To add to the very informative post by T2, since the OP seemingly also asked about the compound radius on the Am Deluxe. The compound radius start at the headstock end of the neck as 9.5", and gets flatter to a towards the body end of the neck to a 14".
