I have some specific questions regarding necks (and other options) in a different thread. They may apply here-- I don't know what this poster is asking.

I assume you know what the radius of a circle is (half the diameter). Obviously the longer the radius, the larger the circle, and the larger the circle, the flatter the arc will be.

So........a 12" radius is a flatter fret board than a 7.5" radius.

CLick on this here for a visual example: http://www.pickguardian.com/pickguardia ... Gauges.pdf
