Does anyone prefer a 7.25" radius?

[TR-100]

Yes!!!

[bluesjuke]

Don't have any currently but I have had many and have always liked the 7.25" radius.

Very natural feeling.

A larger radius on a Gibson and Martin feel right to me but a board too flat on a Fender stands out in your feel.
You really notice it more than the others I've mentioned.

I moved to 9.5" radius with my EC Strat and love it. However, if set up well, a 7.25" can be pretty darn good.

I say darn good, but what it really comes down to is your hands. Just play a bunch and go with what you like. Having a different radius doesn't really "open the door" to a new style or level of playing.

I like it. I have two masterbuilt Teles that have the 7.25" radius and they are both great playing guitars. I also like the small, "vintage," frets. My favorite strat has a 9.5" radius, but does have small frets.

I guess it's because it's what I started on, but 7.25" feels most comfortable to me. I can manage 9.5" but any flatter on a strat or tele actually begins to feels concave to me believe it or not.

7.25 is a must with Teles for me. 9.5 with Strats. It just feels right.

I have a 62' RI 7.25 and another strat w/a 12" radius, i prefer the 12".

[teleblaster]

Some of the older fenders had a flatter radi. I like 9.5 better

Love my Nocasterwhich is 7.25

[Amp360]

I do just because that's what I've always had.

Yes!

Is it likely that your frethand doesn't work as hard on a 7.25 neck? You may, as a result, suffer less fatigue?

No it isn't

My main guitar has a 7.25, i do prefer 9.5, or 12 for the matter, but for some reason that guitar just sticks in my hand like no other.
