'37 Gibson FB Radius

[brewster]

hi ,
i've picked up a players '37 L-50. i have 6 other prewar L-50's that are of 5 different designs/builds. great guitars, those with the elevated extensions.
so this one needs some work, first off is a fret dress to get rid of abundant fret buzz/mute spots.

does anyone know what the radius of this '37 FB is? i'm thinking around 12" but would like to know for sure.
thanks, b

I don't think there is a definitive answer on these nearly centennial guitars, here's a thread on it from a few years ago.

fingerboard radius of L-5, L-7, etc.

You can use a printable radius gauge and find which side fits. Glue it to a piece of thin plastic or cardboard for stiffness.
