Does have radius affect on this technique ? because when i play on my RG with 15,75 radius it sound "louder" and seems easier than when i am playing it on my fender strat with 9,5. or i should try to put the action lower on strat ?

As mentioned in your other threads, not really.
A proper setup (not just lowering the strings) will get the best performance from any guitar.
The feel of a neck has more to do with the thickness and shape of the back of the neck than the radius.
Ibanez RG tends to have a very thin neck.

Radius doesn't really matter, but neck carve can make a difference. When I was a young lad I played a lot of legato because it was effortless on thin flat necked guitars like Jacksons, Charvels and Ibanez. I would pick up a Les Paul or a Strat and couldn't stand them because legato was too hard for me lol.

I just sold my Jackson and bought a Jazzmaster. Now that I'm an old man my legato speed is long gone in favor of hybrid picking etc which is much easier for me on a C shaped carve these days.
