When you use a radius fretboard do you radius the nut and saddle to the same radius as the fretboard?


I will be building the fretwire bending jig soon.

Thanks,
Thomas

Yes, make them the same radius as the fretboard.

Thanks Bradford,

Is it better to put a crown on the saddle and adjust intonation before or after I radius the saddle?

Thanks,
Thomas

Not quite sure of the question, but I would radius the saddle first, thenadjust the intonation.
