@russ got it…. So if I was to make a fretboard for a strat style guitar, would I just cut my slots and then just leave extra material at the top of the first fret? like for example, just start cutti...

Cheers @russ, appreciate you thoughts!

Hello! I'm about to start my second guitar. I want this one to be a bolt on neck. I bought a precut (Gibson scale) fretboard from Stewart McD. I'm seeing in the bolt on course he has a "sacrificial" f...

Great to here this and beautiful guitars!

Hello people of the guitar world. I haven't posted for quite some time now but thought I would update you on my journey since being bitten by the guitar makers bug and hitting a milestone in guitar bu...

Hey folks, Still not finished my current builds and already thinking about my next...🤦🏻 I've seen a few builds with a carved heel on the body to improve access and reduce thickness o...
