If you want to know the radius of one of your guitars, take it in to a repair shop, and have a tech measure it. They use pre-cut gauges like the ones here.

Also, be aware that the radius is different on different models, or even different years of the same model, especially Fenders. To make things even more confusing, a lot of newer guitars are built with a fretboard radius that changes along the length of the board.
