IPA or death Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I found out that the Floyd Rose locking nut has a 10" radius. I planned on having a 14" radius on my fretboard. Is this a bad idea or would it not make much of a difference? Would a compromise of a 12" radius fretboard be good enough? Please, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

soapbarstrat Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 10" to 14" conical radius would probably fix that problem right up. But I never trust the printed specs of a locking nut radius. I'll rig it up with strings and use 'under the strings' radius gauges to see what radius it really is (often on a locking nut, it's never a perfect radius), but comforable nut action is an absolute must for me on a guitar, so I think the compromises should be kept to an absolute minimum. Mole hills suddenly become mountains when it comes to tweaking a guitar nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
