Fingerboard radius on vintage reissues

Post by vintagemusicgear »

I've heard that the fingerboard radius on the vintage reissues changed from 12" to 10" around 2000. Does anyone know for sure?

I dunno. Either way......I have yet to see a vintage reissue that had a vintage-correct neck radius anyways.

They are typically WAY off.

I have a spec sheet from the RIC website for the 360/12V64 which lists a 12" radius. I copied it in 1999.
