Fender Jazz fingerboard radius

bobunit · #1 04-30-2009, 10:36 AM

I have a MIJ fretless Jazz (84-87 era) that is in need of leveling. Did Fender use a 7.25" radius on these? It seems to be the standard, but I would like to make sure before I order a radius block from StewMac. Thanks.

Why not just draw a radius arc on cardboard and check it out for certain? Takes just a minute or two.

I'm thinking that bass is 9.5 radius but can't say for sure.

Keep Low

Because that would be too obvious.

See, that's why I asked and appreciate all of your responses.
