hi, again, is there a koa oil, mink oil or something to treat fret boards ,that also gives a deep rich look and smooth feel?, i prefer maple necks , so im not to into fret boards,also
who made that board? do you choose to go with high end boards, as the fret 1,3,5,7 ect.if the frets are a hair off, intonation will be off as well between each string, like turning the tuners a hair? stuff i been thinking about lol ibanez,warmoth,gibson,jackson/charvel ect are good brands, you like jackson most?
@musiclovr2 Lots to address in here, wish me luck. 1. I currently use Behlen’s Fretboard Oil. No complaints at the moment. 2. Maple necks have fretboards too; that’s where the frets go. :) 3. Me. 4. High end boards? I like to pick boards that look nice and are of a uniform grain. 5. Yes, if the fret slots are off, your intonation will be as well. 6. Yes.
warmoth makes combination raidii fretboards do you think that could be achieved in a shop with a long beltsander? i wanna try the 10-16" radius fretboard i heard the action is like no other.
@koffeekage It could, I guess if whoever was controlling it knew what they were doing. It can also be done with radius blocks and some serious math. Stewmac sells compound radiused boards as well. It's certainly comfortable, but the action has more to do with good fretwork.
@azfryguy like, crack in half? or the common ebony fretboard cracks? If you're referring to the common cracks that happen in ebony, sure. They're easy to fix with some ebony dust, super glue, and a razor blade to scrape it flat.
Does the "frets holes" or i dont know how to say it in english lolll the graved line where you insert the metal for the fret where already done when you bought that fretboard or you made them?
Lookin forward to the next Episode Man. I would LOVE to see this Firebird put together with your new reverse head stock design. Your work is unique and certainly has Your own flavor to it. Its awesome watching a real Musician designing real Players Guitars. Thanks for the Vids. :)

did the fingerboard have a radius curve when u were pittin in the inlays?
vanhalen234 1 year ago
@vanhalen234 yes, it's a pre-radiused board. When the inlays were in, I sanded everything flush with a matching radius block.
