More compound radii

[back2thefutre]

Would love a 7.25-9.5 compound radius. Call it a "vintage compound". I'll shut up now.

I think a 12-16 would be nice a la most Jackson models

It's available down the street. I really wish Warmoth would offer it as a standard option - I don't know of anything bad to say about either company's workmanship, but fan base of that other place makes me want to avoid them.

I meant USACG, Pallyup must be slap full of guitar part makers

MK does it, so does the place down the street (USACG). But I just like the stuff from the big W, if ya know what I mean

I don't think 7.25-9.5 would be that great - at the 12th fret you'd still only have an 8.85" radius. I think 7.25-12 would be really nice though - 7.25 for all your open chords, you hit the modern 9.5 at the 9th fret, and from 12th through to 22nd, you have 10.63 through to 12. I think that's a really nice balance.

They had a strat neck in the showcase fairly recently that was a 'one-off custom compound radius' or some such description. I can't remember the exact details but I think it started at 7.25". If they've dialled it in once you'd think it could be repeated so, as with all things that 'Warmoth don't do', it may be worth asking.

Would love something along the lines of 12''-22'' radius. Gentle radius, to pretty much flat, for people who like to 'fly' on the fretboard a bit more.

I know this is an old post but I figure it's better to add than start new on the same idea. I was just watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeXkvwmH0ts particularly at 4:48 and 5:51 and thought I'd love a more curved compound fretboard.

Is this idea any closer? I've been playing a neck with Warmoth radius stamped on it which I guess is 10-16 compound and when ordering a custom neck I'd love something like a 9 to 12. Current options include a straight 9 or 9.5 which is also $35 more :/
