Thanks! OK, i am familiar with the midi's. I guess I've always considered them to be to plastic or fake sounding. Please don't think I'm  trying to be arrogant...I just play each instrument the way my mind hears it at the moment and not the way a "sterile" reproduction does. I think of midi as "Lego" music. It's great for practicing and getting the feel of a tune, etc.
I like hearing people play with their own style, cadence and feel as long as the basic genre isn't obliterated.
Please tell me your thoughts so i can learn!

BTW, the looper is the original monophonic version. I have always preferred mono in a generalized statement...al

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I hate to admit, but I don't know what a midi file is ??? I just use a Digitech JamMan looper and transfer it to the pc. Yes, I have probably 300+/-  more tunes recorded in wav files. I use Mp3 files to send them. That's the extent of my capacity. ....Al

Thank you sir! I too like the old 7.250" Fender radius. 'Have a Squier with a replacement neck at that radius. My hands object to Gibson neck shapes with flatter boards and say, Ibanez shape necks. If the Shade guitar is more Fenderish in shape, then all would be good.

Does anyone have a comment or ten about the fretboard radius for Bob Shade's 60's Custom. I emailed him and he stated the radius is 13.0". I am so used to Fender's 9.5" radius. I usually sell any guitar with a flatter radius within a month or two. Chords and notes are just more comfortable with the smaller radius. (Just speaking for myself of course).

I guess I should also ask if anyone knows the radius on the Aria inexpensive Mosrite clone too.

The radius will not be a deal breaker when I'm ready to buy, but maybe at that time I can ask Bob to make a different radius.
