It has proven to be a very popular featurethat we have incorporated into the majority of our necks. Everyone knows how comfortable vintage Fender necks are for rhythm work and chording, but without uncomfortably high action, string bending is not an option, the strings "fret-out". To achieve low action and no buzz string bending, many necks resort to a 16" fingerboard radius. This certainly works, but the comfort factor is lost. What we developed was the theory and technology to make the fretboard conical. This retains a tighter radius in the area commonly used for rhythm and chording, while flattening the area used for bending and lead playing. We selected a 10" radius at the nut for both comfort and compatibility with the popular Floyd Rose locking nut.. A 16" radius at the heel has proven to afford 2-1/2 step bends with action below a 16th of an inch.! In usage, the changing radius is not really noticed. It is simply easier to play on and more comfortable. Compared to a conventional single radius neck, the compound radius is far more difficult and time consuming to produce. So, why do we do it? This is a design that will make a genuine difference in your playing. An improvement in your playing speed... Its fast! String bending has never been easier, and comfortable. And of course your playing will be better if your hand is more relaxed. One final note about the compound radius There is no practical difference in accomplishing a fret level, nut cut, set-up or any other adjustment to a compound radius neck. They are as easy to work with as any other neck. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Thanks Jeff. I know Jimmy Page re-shaped his '59 LP's neck to compound radius setting and all the Jimmy Page signature LP comes with compound radius neck as well as some of the custom shop LP.
