Fretboard radius
This is for Brian S – although of interest to all I think. I did some searching and came across this chart of common fretboard radius by brand: https://www.thaliacapos.com/pages/fretboard-radius-guide-by-guitar-make-model
Not completely definitive. For example, it says a Gibson acoustic would be 16 inch, while I have looked up a couple of spec sheets on a J45 showing 12 inch radius. Of note (Brian) – most if not all acoustics Martins seems to be 16 in. I looked up the two I have: D35 and OM-28, and they both show 16. Although I will say my ’87 D35 loooks flatter siting down the base of the neck than the ’18 OM. Taylors appear to be mostly 15, which could account for the Martin seeming flatter. Hope this helps.
