Compound Radius Vs. Straight neck

[ghostrider25]

OK, so I tweaked it some yesterday afternoon and I'm liking it a lot better now. I raised the G just enough so it doesn't buzz and matched the D saddle height with it. It feels pretty comfortable.  :glasses10:

I actually developed a spreadsheet a while back where you could type in the radius at the nut and the heel, and it would tell you the radius at each fret and at the bridge. Or you could do it the other way, so for instance if you want a 10" nut and a TOM bridge left stock at 12", it would tell you that you'd need a 10-11.44" (iirc) compound radius neck to achieve that.

I don't have the spreadsheet any more but I could reimplement it in JavaScript and run it up as a webpage somewhere if anyone's interested.

I'd definitely like to see that...

OK, here it is:

Sorry it's very basic but it does the job. I'm sure you can get it to break if you enter invalid values or whatever.

By default it shows the Warmoth measurements, but you can enter anything you like. Ticking the "nut" or "bridge" checkboxes override whatever you have in the fret number. But, for example, you could see what compound radius neck you'd need to order to get one that was 10" at the nut and 12" at the bridge, or one that hit 12" at the 12th fret and 14" at the 21st.

Nice. Needs some error checking, but as far as I can tell it works fine.

Pretty cool. Are you planning on having the page up permanently? Will it be OK to direct other to this page?

Yeah I'll leave it up.

Any problems etc, let me know and I'll fix them. I just wanted to get something up ASAP.

:headbang: Excellent tool. I'll probably refer to this a lot more than I care to admit.
