Guitar radius question

Hi guys,

What year did fender offer other radii aside from the 7.25? Would anyone know what's the radius on rory gallagher's battered strat?
 
Re: Guitar radius question

i think Rory's is a vintage 7 1/4 as for the change to the 9 1/2 radius...i think that was in the 80s.

Re: Guitar radius question

Thanks. I posted the question because I was thinking how rory could do wide bends on that guitar without the notes choking, play slide and play fast runs too. What would be an ideal set-up for it, high or medium action? And btw, how high should an action be for it to be considered high? :)
 
Re: Guitar radius question

While the guitar may have come stock with a 7 1/4" radius, back then many players would get the radius flattened out somewhat when they got a re-fret or fret level done.
