No surcharge with these guys, but there is a £12 minimum order @jonhodgson That’s great, thanks for the link, I’ve ordered from them. I made up the order with a few different colours to get it to the...

RE: BYOEG Black Stealth

These guys have 6mm, which is about normal for a dot @jonhodgson Ah yeah but look what happens when you put a couple of 6mm rods at 600mm in length into your basket and try and purchase them. Thanks ...

RE: BYOEG Black Stealth

What size are you after @boo? It looks like they have everything available unless I missed something... @mattbeels Erm, I was thinking 9.5mm is a bit big for fretboard dots or is it acceptable? Not s...

RE: BYOEG Black Stealth

Yeah or Nay? Do you think there is any reason why this material couldn’t be used to make fret marker dots? Bright yellow inlays don’t exist, I’ve looked everywhere and asked around. I am thinking of ...

RE: Hand planes

@tej I use a small block plane for that same purpose in guitar building but not much else I don’t think. I once heard Mark say that he has a really cheap block plane for these types of jobs, no point ...

20mm is a little tight so gonna add another half on. Rod was actually 9mm with callipers so most of it is routed to 10.5mm and the bit for the adjuster is at 12.5mm depth with the wider bit. Used the ...

RE: Fret Position Placement

Tosin Abasi is incredible in his ability to play these 8 string monsters instruments. In this video he must play nearly every fret on the fretboard. Check out his picking thumb, it’s insane. I’m sure ...

RE: BYOEG Black Stealth

yeah but it’d look awesome until manhandled though 🙂 @tej It would look stunning, I must admit. It would be torture knowing I couldn’t play it though.

RE: Fret Position Placement

Right, excuse me for being ignorant but I’ve never looked into the whole fanned fret thing. What is the reason for it? Why? Thanks in advance for my education.
