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.

How do you avoid awful tearout routing the ebony after its been slotted? Im always scared ill rip out a corner...

@broadcast666this cut it close, and don't take too much off at once. :)

I really like your style of making instructional videos. You're fun to watch. Keep up the good work!

@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.
