PerryL Posted October 30, 2004 Report Posted October 30, 2004 I noticed on the TK Instruments that his guitars don't have a radius on the fingerboard and wondered if anyone has built their guitars with no FB Radius before? Quote
american_jesus Posted October 30, 2004 Report Posted October 30, 2004 go play a classical...that's pretty much what you'd be getting... Quote
PerryL Posted October 30, 2004 Author Report Posted October 30, 2004 With electrics being a slimmer neck, Do you think it would be an advantage, or disadvantage tho? It's just a notion to make the neck on my new V with no radius. I thought I'd throw it out to you guys. Quote
Saber Posted October 30, 2004 Report Posted October 30, 2004 If you have a matching flat-radius bridge, it might be easier for the picking hand for string skipping. Quote
drewby9000 Posted October 31, 2004 Report Posted October 31, 2004 I found that the first show I played with my Fender Toronado, I was bending the strings past the edge of the fretboard, because its radius was far larger than that of my Samick SG. My answer, Easier bends. Just a preference thing I guess though. I work fine with both types now. Quote
Slaughthammer Posted October 31, 2004 Report Posted October 31, 2004 playing chords will be harder, lower action possible because you don't come in trouble with the radius when bending. Quote
