PrairieDog Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 (edited) The Supreme, so far, is supreme. This is our first with the compound radius board. I was dubious if it would really matter at my current playing level. Hoo boy did it ever! We had a chance to try it against one of the ES 335 figured limited editions (in blueberry burst), just to compare if the Supreme was really all that much different. Yes, yes it was….

Sir, respectfully, This is a family oriented board. No porn allowed! 🙃 ---- On a serious note, There was a recent post regarding fretting out when bending strings above a given fret when board/neck, strings, bridge and nut were set up to specs. Do you think the compound radius solves that issue? Maybe some members can help me out and find that thread. For some reason I can't.

That’s actually one of the things I was I was referring to, when I said what a diff it made. I’ve never had any real trouble bending, but when I went up the neck to try this one (thinking of that post) I swear I slid nearly 1.5! I jumped 😄 it was so smooth. And just mentioning, chords at the nut, even with my arthritis, felt pretty okay. (The post was titled “Has anyone EVER had 3/64 action AND clean full step bends of the high E string at the 12-21's fret?” My take is it was kinda a weird post. I never bent by pressing “into” the fretboard, like he illustrated so that I hit the board below the apex of the curve. I just bend the string so it slides “over” the curve, if that makes sense.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JO'C Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Beautiful guitar PrairieDog. I'm sure it plays and sounds great. I had a 1997 LP Elegant with a compound radius fretboard. It was the best LP by far of the 6 I've had. Great for bending. I let it go a few years back when I thinned the herd from over 35 to around 10 now. I still miss it but am happy with the Gibsons I retained, a 2004 CS-336 and a 1969 ES-335. You seem to be going in the opposite direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We worked in the Caribbean as youngsters, really there is no color like the sea. I’m sure that is why I was so beguiled by the Sea Foam.
