Any of you have a Warmoth Tele neck with the compound 10-16 radius? If so, can you post your thoughts, pro or con?

Thanks!

I have two friends that have these necks and really like them. I like the USACG 71/2 to 9 1/2 much more. Any compound radius to me is a good idea, I just don't like flat fingerboards. YMMV. Warmouth makes very good necks.

I got one of those Warmoth necks with an ebony 'board through a TDPRI trade. Even though I am used to the small-radius 50's style maple fingerboards, this one was immediately comfortable with no significant "adjustment time" required. Feels good down at the nut playing cowboy chords, and feels good at the 12th fret doing extreme bends. Almost like a Fender neck at the bottom and a G*bs*n neck at the top. I matched it up with a light swamp-ash Warmoth body, wired as an Esquire with a SD Broadcaster at the bridge, and have no plans to get rid of it.
