QUESTION
From what I understand, during a guitar setup, the string height is adjusted to follow the fretboard radius.
How is string height adjusted for a neck with a compound radius ?
ANSWER
I have a Jackson soloist guitar, it has a compound radius fingerboard (12 to 16) string height is adjusted in exactly the same way as a straight neck.
Since the highest curve is at the nut and the fingerboard 'flattens' out slowly as it gets closer to the bridge, and string height has to account for the highest point of the fret board; there isn't anything more you can do with the strings that you wouldn't ordinarily do with a straight neck.
