For Incidents Happen:
I was designing a guitar from scratch, and I needed to know how thick my fingerboard would have to be in order to acommodate a given radius. I came up with:
2h = 2r - [square root of (4r squared - W squared)]
Where:
h = height of the centre of the board above the edges
r = radius of the fingerboard
W = Width of the fingerboard
For everybody:
What's the best radius for your style of playing, and why?
