OP here. Yes, I get that, and consider it a concern as well. I have a FB H12, with the usual 20" radius. As you point out, it does feel different, with this geometry, than my guitars with a 16" radius. But I think the "feel" of a guitar in the hand cannot be attributed to but one factor. It is the entire configuration. That is why I am especially grateful that Max is making one of his other builds available to me to live with. He does a compound radius as well.

Scale length.
It has both sonic and ergonomic implications.
