Neck Radius and Width

[Slingy]

Pardon my ignorance here. But does the higher the radius mean the flatter the back of the neck?

I see the JP model as the highest radius, the Luke a bit lower, and the AL and SUB as having identical 10" radius, the lowest listed.

The reason I ask is because the Luke is said to have a "V" quality, but is my SUB even more of a "V"? Because I really like the SUB neck, but I like the idea of the wider JP neck too.

It wont be till early next year when I start thinking about a purchase, but just trying to get an idea where my money will go.

The radius refers to the fretboard. neck shape is different.

 

[gerry d]

the radius is measured from the FRONT of the neck, the fingerboard, a higher radius means a flatter fingerboard....a smaller radius means a more curved fingerboard... it has nothing to do with the neck shape at the back...
