Charvel Neck Radius Question

[gopackgo]

I just bought a used Charvel San Dimas Style 1 7th Batch. It's an HSS Model with a 12"/16" compound neck. I want to dress the frets, does anyone know at which fret the radius changes from 12" to 16"? Just want to make sure I put the correct radius on the Frets.

It's gradual ie: 12" - 12.2 - 12.4 - 12.6 - 12.8...etc up to 16".

Those numbers are approximations though.

Do you know at what Fret it starts to increase from 12" to 12+"?

the first fret? The radius is continuously varying, so there's no 'transition' fret

here's an explanation and some calculations around compound radius fretboards:
