I thought the radius on my new h/13 seemed a little different. An email to Carolyn was promptly answered. The fretboard has a compound radius of 12″ – 18.5. This is a first for me. So, there you have it.

I couldn’t tell you. I was focused on the target outcome and left the building to them. I provided a verbal description and videos demonstrating what I liked and they did the rest. Since I had the original serial number, they could check their notes on build specifics. The obvious changes were hide glue and Italian top compared to non hide glue and Sitka top. How they carve bracing is nothing I know about. I’m thrilled with the outcome.

Well, my H/13 arrived yesterday and it is magnificent in every way. It’s not often I bond with an instrument in 24 hours, but it does happen on occasion – and this is one of those occasions. This is my second attempt buying an H/13. I bought an H/13 off the shelf a few years ago, but I was never completely happy with it when I used a pick. After several conversations with Carolyn, I was convinced she understood what I was looking for and tried again. Love it! Oh yeah, Sunburst finish instead of Natural.

I just looked at my correspondence with Carolyn in October 2019 where I asked – “What is the fretboard radius on my OM & OMG? Are all SCGC the same?”
Looking at her answer I see our miscommunication. She said “It’s 14” on both.” She wasn’t addressing my question about all guitars. So this is new information for me. Thanks. I’ll have ask about my H13 under construction. It’s not an issue really because I seem to get along with most fretboards, but still worth knowing.

I’ve had two customs made by SCGC and can confirm the radius is 14” – I asked. However, there are other members that understand the separation of duties better than me. Hopefully they will chime in about the build process.

This should be a fun build. It should be beautiful and have a great touch. I’m awaiting delivery of a Custom put in during February, but is now running a couple of months late. All that’s good is well worth the wait. Carolyn is always terrific to work with. Keep us posted with updates & good luck.
