Will we ever see compound radius from PRS?

[kselbee]

Seems that the higher end models from nearly every competitor has an option for compound radius... think PRS will do it?

Depending on what you mean by "higher end" they'll do it now (see my avatar). Private Stock only. I do share your affection for compound radii...I have another one on order...

I wish PRS would offer this as well without having to go private stock. A 10" to 14" option would be nice. I recently asked the PTC if they could re-radius a McCarty for me, and the answer was affirmative. However, the max they could go was 11.5. I like the lower action you can get with the flatter radius.

Was this a trem or a one piece stoptail? If it was the stoptail did they say if the bridge would also be modified to accommodate the new radius? I would be very interested in having this done. Thanks!

It was a one piece stop tail. They did not mention any bridge mods. It did involve replacing the fretboard and inlays, so it was not a cheap upgrade. I decided not to go for it.
