Strat reissue. The neck is chunky and slow. Just making sure it's not just my playing is bad..... I think the guitar may just play slow. Action is medium to high as well. Eric Johnson's strat's action looks smooth and sooooooo close to the fretboard. Maybe it's the 12 inch radius neck that makes it faster along with lowering the auction. That's why I want to find out what I have.

Hi, I don't like the high action on my guitar. Some say you lose tone lowering it. Do the majority of soloist use very low action? Can you make a round radius guitar faster with low action? Eric Johnson's strat looks super fast with very low action, but every strat I see in stores looks and feels slow (9.5 radius). Will finding a guitar with 12" radius help the problem?. Is maple slower than rosewood? Thanks for any advice

Rick, Once I cut the paper router out, I place on fingerboard. How do I determine radius? Use the right gauge until its flush even with board?

That's pretty cool. These can't be bought at hardware store right? I guess they wouldn't have radius of these sizes sitting around. I wan't to have something so I know exaclty the radius that fits my hands. Guitar pros can play on any kind of neck, for now, I need an easy play 12-14 inch to learn on. Would you sell me a set and show how to use these radius parts? This stuff is probably second nature, to me it's rocket science. Lol.

Hello, This is probably very easy question for most, I would love to know. What is an easy way to find my fretboard radius? I have been playing 2 different guitars that seem slow, but when I pick up my friend's guitars they make me feel like I can play easier and it feels better. I need 12-16 radius guitar (and somehow keep a classic look). What easy tools can I use to find the radius? Thanks to anyone that can help.
