Heya guys,

i have an LSR on a Warmoth project guitar and love it...
It is my understanding that a 9-1/2" fingerboard radius is necessary, but i am considering another build and am wondering if the LSR will work with Warmoth's 10"-16" compound radius fingerboard ?

Thanks in advance for any advice/assistance !

Hello Rob, welcome to the Forum.

The compound bit doesn't come into it in this case - it's the radius at the nut that counts. The difference between 91/2 and 10 inches is very tiny; I think you'll get away with it.

And if it somehow doesn't work perfectly you can always have a luthier adjust the radius of the top of the frets slightly by judicious re-levelling, to turn 10 inches into 91/2. Within bounds the radius of the fingerboard doesn't actually matter: it's what's happening on the top of the frets that gives you your radiused playing surface.

I say: have at it. But just make sure Warmoth know they're cutting that nut slot to fit an LSR.

Cheers - C
