@warmvalves Welcome to the community! As said by others, do not worry about the radius, just use 16"

Hi @warmvalves welcome to the group. I don't know much about fret cauls, on the two guitars I've built so far I've used a plastic faced hammer, works for universal radii. How close to Glasgow are yo...

Welcome @warmvalves to the Guitar Making Revolution. I've spoken to a couple of guys who have done the evening classes at Anniesland College and the guys at Jimmy Egypt's who highly recommend it. &#...

Hi @Robin, I'm in East Kilbride, a wee bit away from Fife lol. I played in club/pub bands decades ago and now just for my own fun. I was always happy to do wee setup things, but now with more time, I ...

Thanks for your suggestions though and I never say never. I just tend to put things off that much that it becomes too late. Sounds like me. 😂🤣 🙂🎸🎶🙏

Sounds like me @russ Yep, you are 3rd on the leaderboard and you haven’t even built a guitar yet. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

There's a college near me in Glasgow which offers 8 week guitar maintanance courses (beginner and advanced), so I may look at that for next year - this year's has already started. Anyway, thank you ve...

Thank you very much for the prompt replys Boo and BPower I wouldn't have thought that .25" would make that much difference, but I didn't want to assume so. I am just gathering tools and information to...

I would imagine that the 16" caul would be the one you want. My head says 0.25" over that distance would not be able to be seen and the 16" being a little shallower would push the middle down. And sin...

@warmvalves (cool name) Welcome to the forum. I’m not sure of how to answer your question but @markbailey will be able to help you with this one. Cheers. Boo.

Hi all, new to the forum - just dipping my toes into guitar work. Question - my Ibanez rga42fm has a 15.75" radius fretboard - fret insert cauls only seem to come in mostly 'even' sizes, especially wh...

@tej Great job man. Feels good doesn’t it? Glad you enjoyed it. What you got planned next? You know you want to. 😉👍🎸

@tej Use a bit of bees wax on the threads of your screws to lubricate them and they will go in much easier. 👍
