Members madewell_88 Posted August 31, 2011 Members Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hello, everyone. I am currently working on a custom build, and want to use a Resomax NV2, which is based of of a tune-o-matic type design and, like the TOM, has a 12" radius. Problem is, I am running a compound neck with a beginning 14" radius and a 20" radius at the end. Should I adjust the radius of the bridge? How would I go about doing this?

Members WRGKMC Posted August 31, 2011 Members Share Posted August 31, 2011 A normal TOM bridge has saddles you can motch with nut files to match the radius. You can do the same with the resomax. You need to be careful and you should useunder string radius gauges and nut files for the cut so you get the notches round smooth and the proper depth. Graphtec cuts very quickly and one wrong move and you got a botched job. If you havent got the right tools have it done by someone who has. its an expensive bridge for an amature to botch. Once the proper depths are cut you can remove the excess saddle tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Belva Posted August 31, 2011 Members Share Posted August 31, 2011 I haven't radiused a TOM for a compound radius fretboard. I'm guessing match the radius closest to the bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought of that before. I would have guessed an average radius. Good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
