I can't answer much, but with the pickguard, you will want to choose between the larger '67 style, and the smaller '58 sizes.
I think a stop bar / tailpiece is the same thing

hails man, what measures are you talking about??
THANKS

[Philly Q]

You won't need a wider bridge unless it's a 7 string or something.

A standard tune-o-matic and (stop) tailpiece should be OK, but the saddle radius is about 10"-12".  They should be able to match the 7-1/4" radius by notching and filing the saddles.   Graph Tech saddles might be good for this, because they're a bit taller.

Hails Philly. Thanks man
hey, im sorry but i didnt understand it properly. can you explain it in another way!?!?
Q:)
JP
i understood half of it. ahahah

[WITH FULL DISTORTION]

Hum, i think i understood it now.
so, which radius would you recomend me?
AH, i forgot to say that ill tune this guitar to B STANDARD with 013.

[Philly Q]

Was there any special reason you wanted the 7-1/4" Vintage Fender style radius on the fingerboard?

Gibsons have a 10" to 12" radius, which would match the tune-o-matic.  A lot of Metal guitars are even flatter than that.

I'd be concerned if the guy making my guitar couldn't/didn't answer it him/herself tbfh  ;p

Have you asked them?

Hails Philly its just that i had a fender copy that the fretboard, whose measurements i dont know , feels $%&#ign better to play chords in a blackmetal way : Like Mayhem on "Des Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" album. .. and i cannot play like that with the actual guitars i have
i think they are a little bit flatter.
When i do a F# Chord, its easier with that EX fender start copy than on the charvel and USA fender i have.
I Think a 25 1/2" Scale  is perfect . but i dont have an exactly clue about how rounder the radius would be to be a nice one for me. i just know that i dont like FLAT radius. not at all.

Might be a good time for a compound radius. If you don't know what it means, it means that the radius is smaller on the lower frets and larger (flatter) on the higher frets. Rhythm is mostly played on the lower frets, so the more curved radius is good there. And higher on the fretboard, where you play leads more than rhythm, the flatter radius is nice. If you want low action, the 7.25 inch radius is not optimal; you might 'fret out' when bending. This is because bent string catches the next fret and the note dies.

My suggestion is to go to a music store and try a bunch of guitars. Knowing what the radius is on those. Or try a PRS, almost all of them have a 10 inch radius. I have that radius on my both current electrics, and I've found it to be a very happy medium, at least for me. My upcoming guitar has a compound radius of 9.5-12..

OK JP, your USA Strat has a 9.5" radius, so if that's too flat the vintage 7.25" radius is probably best for you! 

I agree with Zaned, a compound radius would be good if Inferno Guitars can build it that way.  You could have 7.25" at the nut and maybe 10" or 12" at the 22nd fret, then there wouldn't be any problem with the tune-o-matic saddles.

Hails Guys
thanks for the input
ill wait till they reply me and then, according to their rpely, ill ask, if necessary, about the compound radius. if they will be able to do it.
