I keep getting hung up on the compound radius fretboard even though my LTD EC401 has a 350mm (13.78") radius fretboard and it feels just fine. It may be because I don't play a lot of lead so most of my playing is in the 12" to 14" portion of Jackson necks. For this reason, I may be just as well off to go the straight 14" route.

So updating this thread to say I've basically did nothing. I did get a fretboard off Ebay that has a 10" to 16" compound radius. Of course being a blank fretboard it would have to be cut to the proper width. I am about to fizzle out before I start as it's just a lot of work that I don't have the time to devote right now. That said I think I was premature on saying a 7/8s Warmoth neck won't work. They build them off of 25.5" scale blanks which is essentially what I was going to do. I have about decided that making two 1/32" shims to fill the 1/16" difference in the neck pocket and painting a headstock is a lot less work that all this other stuff I've talked about in this thread. I am almost to the point of just getting a 7/8's style neck from Warmoth with their wizard profile and 12" to 16" radius with either their reverse arcade shape or a std. strat headstock, and call it done.
