Neck ready for fretboard. I’ll be using that ebony fretboard in the picture in my previous post in this thread. I’m doing a 14” radius on this one. My first was 16” radius, #2 was 12” radius. I want t...

@koendb Sure! The build I'm going for is a headless Ibanez Jem with a metal pickguard and 3 push&pull pots (hsh). I'll be sure to send pictures 🙂

@koendb thank you for your reply, I gave it some thought beforehand but in the end, for what I'm investing into the guitar that being mainly the hardware, wood and time itself, I chose to go ahead and...

Appreciate the advice! Thank you. I'll get some and experiment with the application and order. I've got a plan now, thanks folks!

The sanding sealer would help to prevent blotchy spots in the staining. It might be a good idea on the endgrain of a guitarbody and if applied correctly, gives you a more even result. But If you over...

Appreciate that, thanks mate. Sounds like you've done the kinda thing I'm planning to do. I'd read that oil based stain can bleed into an oil finish, that's why is owned to use water based and let it ...

Superb, thanks Clinton. It was making sense to me, but then read something about sanding sealer and want sure whether that should be part of the schedule.

I would definitely try to rescue the fretboard first and indeed fill it with glue and dust. Perhaps it is not a bad idea to figure out the correct placement for the frets and double check them. There...

You are good on track

So after 7 months, I finally found the time to finish this guitar...I removed all the hardware, sanded with 220 and 320, then applied Crimson High Build Finishing oil, using paper towels, followed by ...

@swepri good idea! Thank you!

Welcome to the group @dav I've got no experience at all of fanned frets, but I'd agree that it certainly doesn't look right. I'm guessing that there must be some kind of formula to position the frets,...

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...

Thanks NSJ, useful stuff. I guess once I've completed my first build the steps Mark provided above will make more sense. The bit I can't envisage yet is how to create the neck angle? Cheers Dan

100% do all the fretwork first! It's a pain where the sun don't shine trying to do the upper frets after lol. And a 100% don't forget the pickup wiring slot, I did on my 2nd one! Luckily it had a fl...

So I’m starting build #3. Gonna try to do better at documenting this one. Heres where I am at the moment. Attachment : 75AE1D6C-F710-4751-81B3-CD07D4C5DC59.jpeg Attachment : FF66868E-3333-4...

@bpower thanks mate

@nsj that is fantastic. Very well done.

And finished, the blue resin is perfect too, nice and subtle. Gotoh hardware, warman pickups, coil split with a 2.2k resistor to keep the split fatter sounding. Attachment : 20230528_193508-01.j...
