I don't think much strength is needed (when you play you're pressing the fretboard onto the neck, not trying to pull it off), the key will be the precise and repeatable location

There have been a few guitars with interchangeable microtonal fretboards over the years, mostly (all?) one offs. Here is one As for True Temperament, the difference is subtle, but definitely there. ...

Does anyone allow any extra on the template to allow for sanding? I wonder how much shaping and finish sanding will take off, but with a neck even a millimetre can make a difference (it's a regret of ...

Got some spare (blue) stain??? Not so much, I've only enough powder to make a gallon or so of stain according to the package.

Obvs, when it comes to re-painting it, I'm going to talk to @Boo, and try out some metallic paint colours ... @tv101 are you sure you wouldn't prefer to stain it blue?

@tv101 I don't have a compressor though when the hackspace reopens I'll have access to two, we have a very large one in the metal shop and one smaller one hanging around too (I'd need to sort an airli...

@boo what makes the Mirka so great? I know Ben Crowe really loves them too. They're a bit pricey, but I'm a sucker for a Guchi tool.

@boo, it's ok we'll just pretend we haven't seen it before. I'll start practicing my surprised face😮

@tv101 @mattbeels @koendb Having no frets doesn't mean you can't play on that part of the neck.

This has given me an idea. The plans for a 335 course are cool, but 335s are a bit big, and a bit.. Gibson. How about a 335 meets Bandsman design @markbailey?

@tv101 That's why I chose that clip, you can pretty much assume a "Deathbucker" will sound good with distortion, so the clean sound is more illuminating IMHO. Nick is an awesome guitarist, he actually...

@tv101 I haven't tried them personally, but this is my slightly insane and very talented Scottish friend Nick Andrew playing a set of Deathbuckers. I think there was a slight issue with the mic (I can...

Sophia trems look very interesting and always seem to get great reviews, but not available left handed last I checked

Aside from that I’m not aware of any other “colored” hardware. @mattbeels Lace offer their alumitones in various colours (very good pickups, a friend of mine chose the deathbuckers... for their warm ...

@russ No, it may have slipped through because it was just a moderately sized envelope (if you posted the package in the UK it would qualify as a normal letter for the purposes of a stamp). The pack wa...

And that is waiting for two weeks for a package from the US only to find that somehow you managed to get 50% of the order totally wrong!(There were only two items). Net result being that I have no Ked...

@mattbeelsSomebody asked a question about refrets on their FAQ page, and the answers are interesting but not fully reassuring.Apparently it is a pretty tough alloy, but they talk about (and give figur...

There are more options than just chrome, black or gold. Didn't know Sperzel did these I actually like the look of black chrome (pretty much the same thing also goes by the names cosmo and ruthenium i...

An ad for this popped up on my facebook timeline. I'm reserving judgement on whether it actually improves the sound at all, let alone enough to be worth the extra cost weight and hassle, but still int...

Gold dude, that guitar deserves gold ! Or maybe titanium... anodized to rainbow colours
