I'm with you, Antonio. Low action and frets makes for a lot of rattle when I slide. That's why I have gits for slide, gits for fingering and a couple that are pretty good for both.
well. Guess what unk, I guess its a matter of technique I cant slide on an action this low and it would seem a radius fret board would be harder to slide on, BUT a buddy of mine came over to test drive this thing last nite and totally ripped it up with a slide . So im wrong. but its definitely harder for a beginner like me . Easier with fretless and flat board and high er action haha. thanks for the enquirery. wish i had a better answer for ya
radius fret board increases the playability from alot of perspectives. to get a real good anser on the hows and why comes mayby someone like the p kid could chime in . I do know the sharper the radius the easier the string bending without crashing into the nearby strings. fender has some mean radius, gibson not as radical. mainly it feels good to me and the action on this one is frog hair low. all the way down the fret board. I wanted to crack one off so I can know I can do it. unk this thing feels spectacular. you aint playin no slide on this . theres a draw back for you . ;) p.s. thanks for the comments fellers

Thanks for the info. Makes good sense. I figured slide would be something not so good with it. Ha. We can make all the sliders we want.

Like the headstock. Radius. Why? What are the advantages and disadvantages?
I've still never tried a radius, yours turned out really well. Might have to give it a go soon!
