Fretboard Radius

[Leviathan]

Is there a chart that shows all the fretboard and neck specs of ESPs?
I think it was posted awhile ago but I can't find it.


Why doesn't ESP list the fretboard radius on their site?

it isn't that relevant because I think they are all 16 or 12

It is for 2006 models, but as far as I am aware, it is still correct.

Thanks.

But are the LTDs the same as their esp counterpart?
I could almost swear that the Alexi 600 had a much wider neck than the dv8r, but it says that they both have about a 12" radius.
Isn't the radius what makes a fretboard wider or narrower?

what's that? a site that talks about ESP guitars?? who do they think they are? ESP forums?? :p

Oh, nah, fretboard radius describes how flat the fretboard is, not its width. Basically, the fretboard is a segment of a big cylinder, and the fretboard radius is the radius of that cylinder. A larger radius means a flatter fretboard.

I'm not sure whether the LTDs are the same as ESPs, but I think they are...

teh radius is the curve of the fretboard sideways http://www.espguitars.com/images/guitars/Alexi_ESP_BLK.jpg

LTD and ESP neck specs are different. The newer LTDs have a slighty wider and flatter radius I've found. The old LTDs have the same width but a flatter radius than most ESPs.
