olyen Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hello Gentlemen,I have a bit of a problem with a fingerboard radiused to 9.5 and I wanna use a non tremolo kind of bridge only it seems that they all have a 12 radius,is there a way to make this combination work and still get a good low action or should I just get a bridge with adjustable saddles?but I really want to put that wraparound system on it.thanks for any input.

ihocky2 Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 There are a couple of options. First is to leave it as is. Your outside strings will be a little higher off the board than the center strings, but it is still playable and you can still get a pretty good action. It's better to have the bridge flatter than the fretboard than the opther way around. Other option is to get so nut files and file the grooves in the saddles to change the radius. Just take a very little at a time and keep checking the string radius until you have it where you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazzyone Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 +1 on leave it as is. it will help keep from fretting out when bending strings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyen Posted August 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 thanks for the replies guys,and one more question ,when you say a good playing action is this a good shredding action we are talking about here, I really need it to be low on this one,just for fun.
