I own a '84 Goldstar, rosewood 7.5 radius fretboard with vintage type frets 0.7 mm high.
I CANNOT play this guitar, I'm used to LP style fretboards, 12 radius and regular LP type frets.
I do a lot of bends and vibrato but I don't like to feel the fretboard under my fingers, and when I play chords I have problems pressing the 1st string
What can I do? Could I just refret it with medium jumbo, and change the radius to 9.5 or even 12? (the rosewood is rather thin)
I also intend to change the whole neck and use a Mighty Might compound radius (9.5 to 12) one.
I know that I need a good strat, I love watching my Goldstar but that's not enough! ;-)
