Fretboards are curved across their width to accommodate the natural shape of fingers in playing position. Some are curved a great deal, while others feel almost flat. The amount of a fretboard's curvature is referred to as its radius. Fretboards with a small radius are more curved, while those with a large radius are more flat. The measurement is arrived at by extending the arc of the fretboard to form an imaginary circle around the neck. The radius of this circle is the fretboard's radius. ...

21 vs. 22 Frets Fender's® original Strat® and Tele® necks had 21 frets, while Gibson® necks had 22.

A 1/8"(3mm) space between the fretboard overhang and the top of the body leaves enough room for a standard thickness pickguard. Switching from a 21 to 22 fret neck usua...
