12in radiius over 16in fretboard

[davidray]

Hi
I'm not too fond of 16-in radius fretboards. I prefer 12in as with Gibson and others.
I was recently gifted an incredible Yamaha red label FS5 Made in Japan guitar.
It has a 16-inch fretboard and similarly radiused nut and saddle. I don't hate it but I find it hard to bar chords and though silly it feels like I'm pressing onto a concave surface.
What if I had a new nut and saddle cut to 12in over the 16in fretboard.
Anyone ever done this?
Would it make a difference?
We're talking a very tiny variance in feel but it would sure beat selling this hard to get guitar to satisfy a fairly minor annoyance but one that bothers me when I play the instrument.
any ideas?
thanks
David
PS. this yamaha is probably the best guitar i've ever played in it's price range and most at twice the price.

You would find that all the strings except the E's are a bit higher off of the board. It would be worse with the D and G. You could get away with it at the saddle but it would almost certainly feel weird at the nut.

Makes sense. Thanks
