Help with Clanky Frets / Fret Noise...

Actually a 16" radius is almost flat, old strats and teles and 7.25" radius necks. Also I think I understand what you are saying, but the Ibanez bridges, at least the MIJ ones with the Edge are radiused to match the fretboard.

Yep, they should be... But op said he got a replacement neck and a complete fretjob and after measurement the radii turned to be different, so tjats where my idea came from... I might be overcomplicating though.

"The guitar neck is just under 16" radius (closer to 15.6 ish) and the bridge is radiused at bang on 16" (Ibanez Lo Pro edge) ." Going to a 10" radius or something could be a problem, that small a difference won't really be noticeable.

You agree this Mattias was either a slide player or not well-endowed ?
