older RG Neck radius and fret size


RG 450 dx wh

serial # C 5075584


I'd really love to fix this guitar up. Anyone know the year? I bought it used back in the 90's.

The fretboard radius? I know i can check it with a cardboard cutout, but just wanting a confirmation before I order a sanding block.

Are these medium sized frets? I need to replace the 13th and would like to get it fairly close.


Also is there any replacement bridges that would be worth investing in? The low trs II works ok, but doesn't stay in tune the way I hope it would.


Thanks,
Grathan

Re: older RG Neck radius and fret size


probably a wizard II. jumbo frets. 400mm radius. you can swap an original floyd rose directly for a lo-trs ii. all the neck info for a wizard ii is available on ibanez's website on current lower-end guitars. also, you don't need a radiused block to level frets.

Assuming the neck is original, its a Wizard II. Your guitar is from 1995 and the radius will be 400MM as foulacy said.
