Thread: 7.25” radius neck

  1. #1

    7.25” radius neck

    I would be very interested in a strat or Tele kit with full vintage spec. Ie 7.25” radius. No one else I have found seems to make one.

    #1 LP1-SS
    #2 Non PB Vintage Strat Rebuild
    #3 TL1 - Custom
    #4 ES-12G (now converted to ES-1)
    #5 RC4
    #6 STA-1HT
    #7 Non PB 52 Tele replica
    #8 Coming Soon: 1970's Japanese Les Paul Special Resto.

    I wonder if you could re-radius one of the existing necks? Bit of work, but probably cheaper than those in that link

    I think it could be done, but you might run really thin on the edges at the heel end. Potentially you might break through into the side dots.
    It would be cleaner on a custom kit with a fretted but non-radiused board.
    Or do a FrankenLab/SMG special and reboard a standard kit with your custom radius.

    Thanks for the tip...I'm going to give it a go.
    I have plenty of 'foolhardishness' (and a refugee neck) to spare.

    cheers, Mark.
