Neck shape

Other, I want a thinner, thicker, or thicker neck. You want to have the same shape as the neck of your previous instrument. Custom necks are available.

Radius

Fingerboard is not flat but curved mildly.
The higher number is curved more gently.

Conical Radius

It is possible to have a? “Conical Radius” that is a mild curve from the head to the end of the fingerboard.

Each string fits at the fingerboard that is proceeded conical considering stringed radially.
So that way, it can eliminate the difference of neck bowing at each string in case of regular radius.
So it has less difference of the strings height between low position and high position
As a result, it is easy to set a low height of strings at any position.
