Default Gurian fingerboard radius?

Does anyone here know what the fingerboard radius was on Gurians, particularly on a 1980 S3R H? The nut is 1 9/16". To display my stupidity, I have no idea how to measure this myself, and I can't find any reference to that specification on the internet.

As always, thanks to the knowledgable and generous folks on this forum.

You could print this out to scale, cut them out and then test which gauge it is.



You might also contact Michael Millard at Froggy Bottom Guitars as he used to work for Gurian. He may be able to tell you.

Hi RPatkin,
I'm traveling this weekend and don't have my Gurian with me. I'm thinking it's pretty close to the flattest of my acoustics, with the exception of an antique parlor. Gurians are in many ways unusual.
