  • Jake E. Lee ESP question

    I know those guitars had Jake's preference of jumbo frets from 1-12 and smaller from 13-22, but what was the fingerboard radius? Also, were these short scale 24.75" like a Gibson or 25.5" scale?

    As far as I remember these were short scale.

      Thanks. That's what I thought, but I couldn't quite remember.

          I believe they are sort scale too. I have no idea of the fretboard radius.

            I used to have a metallic-green Jake E. Lee that I bought from Drum City. It had the 24 and 3/4 length. I never measured the radius of the finger board, but it was quite flat. I liked the choice of smaller fret wire on the second octave. Pretty decent guitars, but the pickups were pretty bland. I also couldn't get used to the micro headstock.

              Thanks. A flatter radius is definitely a good thing!
