jc1funk Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I have a 2008 335 Dot and don't know the fretboard radius. Anyone know? Don I'm also trying to find out... no specs on the product page... from what I'm reading it could be 10" or the traditional Gibson 12" Did you find out? Surely there's someone who knows on this forum... ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a whole lot of people that know this answer besides me. Can't believe no one every replied. Well at least now the mystery is solved.

jc1funk Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I was vaguely aware, but fairly ignorant of the whole fret board radius issue until I realised what a challenge it had become moving between a 335 (12"), a modern Strat spec (9.5") and the vintage Strat spec (7.25"). Throw the various fret profiles in the mix and you really gotta put the time in on all of them to keep up with the various nuances in feel...
