Is there much of a difference in feel between a 14" and a 16" fingerboard radius? I believe Taylor and Martin both use 14" on acoustics, correct? Taylor states a 15" radius on the T5. Perhaps a bit flatter due to the possibility of more bending on the electric T5? --Tom |

Martin's always been 16" |

Taylor uses 15" on all of their models, far as I know. Not a huge difference between 15 and 16.. |

I came from making classicals so I guess it explains this, I use a wider fingerboard (1 13/16 or 1 7/8) and a 16 " radius tapering to a 20". I just like it that way! |
