Detail 01
12–16 inch compound-radius quartersawn maple fingerboard
The radius is rounder near the nut and flatter toward the higher frets.

Independent shopping perspective
Built as an Adrian Smith signature model, the SC1 combines an alder So-Cal body with a graphite-reinforced bolt-on maple neck and a 25.5-inch scale. Its HSS layout pairs a DiMarzio Super Distortion bridge humbucker with two noiseless single-coils, selected from a five-way blade switch. The compound-radius quartersawn maple fingerboard moves from a rounder feel near the nut to a flatter upper area, while the double-locking Floyd Rose is set up for vibrato work and dramatic pitch changes.
