Anyone know if the fret boards on the Loar mandolins radiused? Maybe only specific models?

My only experience with that brand is the LM-400 and it is not radiused. The frets are slightly heavier than regular mando fretwire though I don't know the gauge.

Do you mean the Real loyd loar or the new brand loar? thee old ones have a nice wide fret board almost perfect for me and my big fingers.

Every model in The Loar line has a flat fingerboard, however, they are not perfectly flat. There is a very slight radius to the 220,300, 400, 520, 600 and 700. The 500 is pretty close to perfectly flat.

To date all " The Loar " fingerboards are flat and if I'm not mistaken they are all rosewood with the exception of the LM700VS which is ebony. I have the LM400VS and the LM520VS both are flat and both are rosewood.
