Even at that, 7.25 seems rather curved... I could've sworn.... ah never mind!

That's because you dont know how to play guitar properly.

If you look at the frets, they kinda follow the shape of a hand when you play lead, but with incorrect technique, which I'm guessing most people do (I know I do) so the market was there I guess.

My first Ric was a 481. I know they have there fans, but it's the only one I never regretted getting rid of. It wasn't the frets, it was the pickups. They were microphonic like Ned Beaty. I'm just getting started......
