Neck Radius 1967 Starfire V

[trimbo]

Hi- I'm looking to get a Compton bridge for my 67 starfire V. Does anyone know the neck radius of these old Starfires?

It looks around 9.5 to me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd also be interested to hear if anyone has any experience with the Comptons on their guitars.

There have been quite a few discussions here about both Comptons and Tru-Arcs bridges. Try the search function, and you're certain to get a lot of hits.

If anyone is interested the neck radius varied on the 60s starfires as they were hand sanded. I used some radius gauges and mine was 10".

Truarc will make a bridge with custom post spacing to fit the bigsby aluminium bridge base. Compton wont so you'd need a new bridge base as well.
