Can you tell me which electric-acoustic guitars have 9", 9.5" or 10" fingerboard radius?
The brands and the models please? :help
I need to buy a guitar that has one of mentioned radius features, but not everywhere is the info written when you
search online. Thanks
 
acoustic-electric... the terminology may be different but I'm thinking of an acoustic guitar with pickups... Sorry for the mix up with the terminology and thanks for helping.
 
Most acoustic guitars have quite flat fingerboards. Taylor use 15", Martin 16", Gibsons are much rounder at 12". Those are the only manufacturers I could quote with any confidence.
 
From my knowledge, albeit limited, I think it's going to be difficult to find that type of mass-production guitar with a radius smaller than 12".
 
I suggest you check out CARVIN guitars and look at the Cobalt series, I think you can find what you are looking for in their list of neck sizes.
 
All of the Godin family (Art & Lutherie, Godin, Seagull, Simon & Patrick, Norman, LaPatrie) acoustics have 16" radius fretboards.
 
Thank you all for the infos. I'm aware of the 12" reality. But still here is one (if I understand the specs right) with 10" radius:

And once I'played an Itlian Eko acoustic-electric guitar which had quite a curve, but at that time I didn't pay attention which model it was.
Now I looked around at: http://ekousaguitars.com/?page_id=17, but the info isn't there when you look at a particular item.



Well, thanks again for all your help. I guess I'll just have to mail everyone who sells acoustic-electric guitars to see what's out there......lol

If anyone gets new info please post it.
