Radiused Fingerboard

[dstretch]

I know I ask alot of questions, but that is the only way to learn.

What do some of you builders do in regards to fingerboard radius? What is the tradition? How does it affect value? Playability? etc.

I did a search and could not find any other posts that address this specifically.

ummm... try your searching again. there have been quite a few discussions of radius here in the cafe... maybe not all in the builder's forum, though. i do recall somewhere in the builders forum there is a photo of a really great compound radius jig -- can't remember who posted that, though. try some different search terms, and don't forget to check the "this month and OLDER" button.

Here are some good discussions on the topic.
