Gorgeous guitar!
What is the fretboard radius? Do you know the size of the fretwire? Good luck with your sale. Ed

Dear Ed in Ohio
I hope this information will convince you to buy the guitar! Per John Allison: Upshot of it is that the fingerboard was machined and sanded to a compound radius (12”-14”). When it requires a re-fret, It can be sanded to a straight 14” radius with no problem. We subsequently went to a straight 14” radius on all fingerboards. The fret wire would have been Stew-Mac wire No. 141.

Beautiful pics of a beautiful guitar! I've played a couple of John's guitars and they're outstanding. I talked extensively with him last year when he did a full neck reset on a vintage guitar I bought in Austin. I was very impressed… good guy, good builder. Good luck!

How would you describe the neck shape on this one? And do you know if John uses adi for the braces? Thanks,
Steve
