@darrenking Modern jazz? - Who'd know?! The eagle has landed @darrenking Tomorrow, I'll take it for a flight ... 😉

@tv101 Modern jazz? - Who'd know?!

A bit late to the party but I've just joined the forum; I'd start again but keep the wood as you never know when inspiration/need will strike. [I made a right pigs ear of the first fretboard I made; W...

Yes its off by 1mm. I measured with a little $9 angle-izer. @seth I would probably not use it, your intonation will be all over the place and you’ll probably have big tuning issues. Buy another fret...

?

’m not sure it would work but if all the slots are off by 1mm you could but the bridge on off square Or just use it for playing Jazz .... ?

I’m not sure it would work but if all the slots are off by 1mm you could but the bridge on off square but 1mm... @markbailey may be able to advise on that..fir the price of a fretboard I would do as @...

Thanks Darren

Hi Seth, I am afraid that you have to ditch the fretboard and start again. 1mm out will be easily detectable and given how much work the rest of the guitar is going to take it would be crazy to carry ...

Yes its off by 1mm. I measured with a little $9 angle-izer.

Without getting my trig tables out, I don’t know the answer to this ... but I’m guessing that a 1deg error across the width of a fretboard is less than a 1mm error? How did you manage to measure a 1de...

Hi everyone, just started my first build, i was cutting the fret slots by hand and some of the slots are off by 1°. Is there a tolerance? Is there anything I can do, or is this fret board destined fo...

Just be aware that not all multimeters can measure capacitance so double check beforehand

@rockpile99 Yup, just got one. Lessons learned.

Had a similar experience with my first build. The bridge is black so I just assumed whatever it was coated with wouldn't conduct and tested first (thankfully I have multimeter) - had to scrape away th...

Ok you lot have convinced me that I should invest in a multimeter. Doesn’t know how to use it but it’s time learn. Thanks.

I think it’s time I own a multimeter. I bought one for guitar-assembly use, long before I understood all of its other potential uses. It encouraged me to learn a bit more about electronics!

@tv1010101 I missed that one. Did not wake up in time. Shucks. Just saw the stream. I think it’s time I own a multimeter.

You can get a pretty good one on Amazon for less than £20 and if you are getting involved with anything electrical it’ll change you life!

@darrenking Yes, wish I had a multimeter. My birthday coming up in a few weeks. Hmmm.
