    I'm coating my fretless' rosewood board in CA, so I'm going to order a radiusing block from Stew Mac. ESP's website lists the fingerboard radius as 400mm. When i convert it to inches, it's 15.75.

    Would it be ok to order a 16" radiusing block?

    Thanks!

    Measured at the cross section edge across a 2.5" neck heel the difference between 16" and 15.75" radiuses is .000779". In other words not measurable.
