What do you think @markbailey Do you think this fretboard needs to be waxed or is it safe now to store it in the usual way. I’m guessing problems occur during the drying process but I think that has already…   Read more»

BTW: I’d use a 2.5mm for the bridge mount holes next time…

@markbailey Thanks for that, I’ll buy some new drill bits. 2.5mm 👍

Thanks. Watched the livestream when I woke up today and could tell I’m in that group for sure. I’ll be signing up soon. Thanks for all the help!
