Can’t lose. With the 9.5� radius on these new ones you swap out a ton of parts on a VM you got close to the same thing. Try before you buy and you could get a good one.

Sometime this year I’m thinking about upgrading my VM jazzmaster, might do some new pickups and a staytrem, tort guard and all that shit.

FIXT

am I the only one who never ever gave s flying shit fucka bout a radius?

I think it's only really an issue if you do loads of string-bending, and/or you're trying to pair superflat radius hardware with round radius neck, or vice versa.

If you like low string action and bending then flatter radius is a go

dear fender. doog is right. quit making my jaguars and mustangs this:



look at eddies fucking baby finger mutant fucking bullshit finger longer than my index finger.


fuck this shit gimme roundy fretboard and little frets. they got little necks, there's barely enough room for shit happening as it, fuck these bigass frets

I bend a lot and i like my action low even though i certainly don't play shreddy music. and the *frets out during a semitone bend on a 7,25" is not something that'd sell a lot of guitars in 2018 imo.

Tbh, I prefer a more modern flatter radius, even on a Jazzmaster.

Same. I got an Ibanez Wizard spec Warmoth neck on my custom guitar. LOVE IT.

As in wizard thickness and profile too? Cool

Yeah, thickness, nut, profile and fret size BUT 10-16" compound radius. Lucky secondhand find on eBay.

Me either... no idea what radius any of my guitars are.

For me, it was more like 'fuck, i wish these bends didn't choke out so much', and figuring out from there what was causing that shit.

Love me a wizard neck. Current main squeeze is a 540s, but I must admit, I do get a bit of cramp if I’m doing a lot of br00tal power chords.
