Hello, About a month ago I stupidly ordered a headless fan fretted neck off of *sigh* Aliexpress. After removing all the frets and rounding the fretboard itself, I started to notice that the 22nd fre...

@robin Hey, thank you :D. Yeah thats the thing. I gave it some thought and I feel like the best thing to do is to get a fretboard replacement. Do you know where I could buy a blank from? Im looking fo...

@dav I don't know which region you live in, but in Europe this is a place I usually buy stuff from: FRETBOARD BLANKS (guitarsandwoods.com)

@Robin @swepri, thank you very much for the links, I from France, so guitarsandwoods would prob work better for me, althouh how much does markbailey price for his fretboards? Thank you again

Got a little work done on this this week, last week of school. Hopefully things continue going well, however I don't like the way the CNC software for the router does its toolpaths. Turns out, the sof...

Due to some other obligations, I haven't made it as far as I'd like to by now. I did get the top jointed and glued, and lightly sanded, but not thicknessed to what I want it to be yet. I did get the b...

Though that failure might have been due to the extra clamping pressure, rather than the normal stresses that a finished body would have to withstand?

@wolframmalukker The consensus may have been 10mm a few days ago, I reduced my current build to 7mm yesterday, it still looks thick enough though, thats in mahogany. I was wrong, best stick with yo...
