Default 5420 radius and pups

I've just ordered an orange, left handed, 5420 and I'd like to get a Compton bridge,( non-Bigsby) but I can't find the fretboard radius anywhere on the Gretsch pages. Any help with this, will be greatly appreciated.

Also, anyone who has changed out the BT's for TV Jones, could you tell me the correct mounting to order?

Thanks,

I'm guessing 12"

It's pretty standard across the Electromatic line.

I would check the radius before you by a bridge. Some Electromatics have a 14" radius.
