1990 D50

[mrcolin2u]

Hi I'm new to the forum, I have a Guild D-50 made in 1990 . I had a new bone nut made and fitted for me because the old one split.

After that i had a bone saddle made, but the guy didn't do a god job on the saddle in my opinion. I was thinking of having one made by bob colosi, but he wants to know what the radius is ?? I have the thickness and the width but can anyone help me if they know what the fretboard radius is on my guitar?

Thank you in advance

Colin

Hey Colin,
Welcome again! There's some discussion of your question in the tech section.

Welcome, Colin.
You'll find quickly that this forum is the epitome of "ask and ye shall receive." :wink:

Hi Joe,

I notice you have an '89 D50. Do you happen to know the fretboard radius of yours?

Cheers

I'd really want a good luthier to have the guitar in hand for fitting it for a saddle...

Colin,

I have no idea about the radius, but I do know that the rosewood and spruce have mellowed so well in 21 years that the guitar just rings with beautiful sound! :wink:
Finger picked or flat picked....it's a wonderful instrument!
