FB Radius 9.5" vs. 12"

For me, yes surprisingly.
I typically like 7.25 on Fenders.

I have a Classic Player 60's strat and a HWY 1 texas tele, both with 12" rad and both play great.
Loved the feel on the necks and was surprised to find out after buying they were 12".

 

Believe it or not I like the 9.5. Not real problem with 12, but wouldn't chase it.

 

9.5 and 12 are great. I'm learning to love the 10" radius on my PRS, though...

 

Yes, I do prefer the 12" radius over the 9.5". I don't mind the 9.5", but given the choice I'd choose the 12".

 

I like my 9.5" Tele and I like my 12" OP.

 

My PRS is a 10, my Zion is a 12. Just bought a Strat Plus and it is a 9.5. I think anything in that range is good for me!

 

The flatter the better for me. When I bend a step or more I don't want to hear any zing. I want as little change to the sound of the note as possible. I don't really care if it changes sound some except that it always kind of startles me and pulls me out of the moment.
I know some guys say even a 7.25 can do that but I've had two necks from Scott Lentz, a 9'5" and a 12", and they both do it. I doubt anyone really builds a better guitar than Scott so I accept what my ears tell me.

 

Not too picky, anything up to 12" works. I probably prefer 9.5"

 

I used to use only 9.5....before I tried the CP 60's Strat and that changed everything...12" radius from now on whenever possible.

 

I prefer 10 if it's a straight radius, 10 - 12 if it's conical.

 

14" or 16" straight for me.
Players Strats w/12" are ok.

 

I Love the Deluxe Player necks. I have a black Strat that I put one on and I'm working on a second. That 12" just feels so much better on the low strings to me. 9.5 always has a buzz going on. So it's either accept the buzz or set the action too high on the E string and I don't care for that much. Other than that I find the 9.5 very playable.

 

Most I've played with are either 9.5" or 12" and I think 9.5 is more comfortable, but I don't like when bending a note up a min or maj 3rd frets out with the 9.5" so I guess I go for the 12 inch radius.

I played one of those 9.5-14" compound radius necks Fender is using on the more expensive Am. Strats, and I would love to be able to put one of them on my Strat, although I have grown attached to my own strat's neck at the same time.

 

Compound.

 

I think I prefer 10. But 12 may give a slightly faster action with a lessened probability of fret buzz.

 

I like the 12" on my Gibsons but prefer the 9.5" on Fenders.

 

Yep! i'm a 12" or flatter.


With all the strat guitars that fender makes , why in heck don't they make a short scale with a 12" radius? ANSWER ME FENDER! AND why? put the neck ajustment at the heal of the neck?
sell me a guitar Fender Please.

 

I clicked 12 but my strat has 10-14 compound and that is the bee's knees.

 

Totally compound. My 10-16" Warmoth plays better than any of my Fenders, Gibsons, or my PRS.

Isn't the Fender Eric Johnson neck compound?
