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...

the courses are at Glasgow Clyde College, Anniesland. It is, it says a Guitar Restoration Course (the short courses you mentioned). From the blurb and the few pics to be found, it's basically, you tak...

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

Hi all - @Boo & @Rocknroller912 - the courses are at Glasgow Clyde College, Anniesland. It is, it says a Guitar Restoration Course (the short courses you mentioned). From the blurb and the few pic...

@warmvalves Welcome to the forum. There have been instrument making courses in Glasgow for many years but the college names change all the time. This may be the one you are thinking of. There are als...

Welcome @warmvalves! 15.75”? What a weird radius! I wonder what the point was?!? However a 16” radius fret caul will work fine. That 0.25” difference is nothing! A lot of Ibanez necks have a 17” radi...

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...

That must be the greenest green that I've ever seen.

I do like that green @boo. With and without sparkle. 👍😁 🎸🎶🙏🙂

@boo It sure does sparkle

This flake is made up of green, gold and silver flake so it has a really good flip effect to it. I’m quite pleased with how it all went and how it now looks. I put three coats of clear on and I’ll put...

Time to remove the masking tape and clear coat the lot to make it all pop. 💚✨💚✨💚✨💚✨💚✨ Attachment : E70FE2F9-7F7E-4C28-9C...

Now I mix some flake into some clear basecoat and apply it over the Apple Green pearl. I also applied a piece of masking tape onto the green basecoat before applying the flake, this is so I can see th...

Before I spray these paints all over a guitar project, I need to know how these paints and flake are going to behave and ultimately how it looks when it’s done. This is why I do a test sprayout. I pu...
