Hi all I am new to guitars ( 45 & learning bass my son 14 & learning electric guitar )
We both own Chinese guitars , the question I have to ask is the guitars neck radius IE 9" is measured where ( at the last fret ? )I have down loaded some radius guides to check the guitar but where do you check & do you do it with out strings.
So far I have been able to check the neck relief , pick up heights & string heights
Thanks for any help

robert,
Hi, and Welcome to the Forums! ;D
Rune's correct (of course), you should find the same radius at all points on your fretboard. But I'm curious, what will you do with this information?

Hi all thanks for the reply , the reason why I wanted to know is bascially for my future refernce . I was just wondering as when I look at the specs of say Fender guitars they tell you the neck is say a 9" neck , Just wondering what that meant ;D
