That would be a good ideaThat should be fine. Personally, if I were ripping out the frets and re-radiusing the board, I would go with a compound radius.
Why are you having it re-fretted in the first place?
Thanks! They’re worn down, so it’s time. Going with jumbo frets. I’ve never owned a compound radius guitar before. But I have one on order that has it. Why do you like it?That should be fine. Personally, if I were ripping out the frets and re-radiusing the board, I would go with a compound radius.

That’s been done many times on this guitar. I’m no fan of stainless steel frets, so not having that. This guitar is almost 20 years old.Worn frets means it's time for a level, crown, and polish, not a refret. Medium-jumbo frets can be re-leveled and crowned many times before there isn't enough material left on the crown.
If you wanted to replace them with stainless frets, that's another thing entirely, but you're literally looking at hundreds of dollars to have that work done, and a few flat spots is easily fixed for much less than that.
Have you done it with a neck with the bird inlays? I really want to go 14" or "16, but still afraid of ruining the inlays.The 10 to 12" radius is not that significant, I've done it . I haven't found that jump feels that much different , 14" is .
Stew-Mac sells radius blocks that make it easy. I've got one compound radius and I'm not very fond of it, but if it floats your boat , go 4 it.
Would love to hear why?I would not
