Ok guys so what exactly is a 'compound radius neck' and in what way does it feel different to other necks?


Hey Lefty,

A compound radius neck has one radius near the nut (~9") and then flattens out towards the body (~14"). Lower the number, the rounder the fretboard, the higher the number the flatter the fretboard.

Most people think that a rounder neck makes chording easier, and a flatter neck makes soloing and bending easier. The compound radius neck combines the advantages of both.

The Select series guitars and basses also feature compound-radius necks. :)
