Does anybody know what the fingerboard radius is on a D-35?

Post by MaineGeezer »

The guy I'm building a guitar for likes the feel of his D-35 neck, so I want to copy it as much as I can. Does anybody know what the fingerboard radius is on a D-35? Or does it depend on when it was made, in which case I will need to measure his....
