... there's a very large difference in feel between 7.25" and 12".


I did a quick calculation. At the spot in the neck where it's 1.5" wide, the difference between a 7.25" and a 12" radius is only an extra 0.015" in thickness (at the middle of the neck).

I don't know about you, but I can adapt pretty quickly from playing a Strat to a Les Paul.

A good luthier might be able to give the frets on a 7.25" radius neck a radius of 9.5 or even 12" (provided there's enough fret height to begin with).
thanks for the info.gj

Yeah, I "can" adapt to play pretty much any neck. But when you want what feels best to you, those little things can be the difference between a guitar that's ok to a guitar that is your ultimate dream.

:? can neck radius be changed ? need a bit of info on this thanks for the help you all......gj say like 7.25 radius to 10 or 12 radius.


Sure can, replace the neck. Fretboard, frets, saddles, nut... not worth the effort. A luthier could do but it will be cheaper to replace the neck...
