Acousticraft Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Does anyone know whether the 25.5" Fender radiused/slotted fingerboard has the 1/8th" nut slot cut with a flat bottom or a radius. I couldnt see this info on their web page. I need to know if I need a flat bottomed or radiused nut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koadogg Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 I have one here that is sitting around and it is flat, the nut slot that is. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acousticraft Posted May 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Thanks scott. It made sense that it should be flat but thought I would check. Have you got the 12" rad or the compound, as I feel tempted to go with the compound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 the early vintage fenders had the nut slot that followed the 7.5" radius nuts are either flat bottom or round with a tag in the centre you can cut to give a radius. leave it on an you have a flat 12" raduis and compound aint much different as you can do good bends on a 12" gibson uses a 12" radius - you can mill the frets on a 12 radius to a compound radius if you does it a certain way - see dan erlewines guitar set and repair book the compound will let you have a slightly lower action get a compund if ur buying a neck or fingerboard 12" is a lot easier to make if ur making the fingerboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
