Strat neck w compound radius starting at 7.25'?

[Floyd_Argus]

Is there any custom option(s) to allow me to get a Strat neck w modern or vintage/modern Construction and also compound radius starting at 7.25"?

If it’s off-menu I’d give them a call to see if they can do it. My guess is that a custom radius would require too much CNC programming to be feasible, but that’s just a guess. Good luck!

I don't think so but it wouldn't hurt to ask

Musikraft does a 7.25"-9.5"

I have a Tele with a 7.25 to 9.5. Dream to play.

I have one of those. According to Nacho Banos Blackguard book, he even measured some original 50s Teles that had that same compound radius. It’s honestly not flat enough for my tastes in the upper registers. Now a 7.5-12”, that would be excellent.

I have a straight 7.25 on the way, and a straight 12, and a 10-16, and another 10-16.

7-1/4” to 12” was available on some Fender American vintage hot rods from about a decade ago. You may be able to find one of those used or check out what the fender mod shop offers these days.

Last time I asked (3 months ago) they wouldn't do any custom radiuses (radii?), other than the ones listed.
I asked for a 12" - 14" compound.

7-1/4" is absolutely horrendous, which is why today's Fender guitars don't have it.

A old friend of mine has a original 62 Jazz Bass with that radius and it is the most comfortable bass I've ever played

George loves 7.25!

7-1/4" is tight but if you dont need super low action, its very comfy. 7-1/4" to 12" was also immensely comfy when I played a few of those.

 

[Schneidas]

I couldn't go low enough without bends choking out at 7.25" or even 7.25" - 9.5" compound.
I liked the feel of those, but eventually sold them as the action had to be just too high for my liking.

Starting at 12" straight, action can be set reasonably low without notes fretting out. (As always, YMMV)

 

[aarontunes]

Warmoth will not do custom compound radii. We will only do those offered on the website.

And straight 12" FTW.
Second place goes to 9-1/2" - 14".

Friends don't let friends get 7-1/4".
