made a fret board and double sided taped it on to try it out. frets are just some brass tube glued on.
I would not do it again. Fret wire in the post!!

Comment by South Paw,Davey on May 4, 2012 at 11:46am Thanks Roadkill.
The tube is hollow so I stuck tooth picks in the ends then took it to meet the belt sander.
Comment by Roadkill a.k.a. John Maw on May 3, 2012 at 7:43pm Sounds good. I wouldn't have thought of using brass tubing.
Comment by South Paw,Davey on April 30, 2012 at 12:13pm Thanks for your comments guys. I just tryed it as i had some thin brass tube I have had one or two pop off.
Not when playing I had it in the garden and then in the house put it down and ping must be the temp change.
As for the intonation I have a twelve string with the head stock kaput so I just taped some paper on and rubbed it over with a sanded pencil and used that as template. I did cut slots and used super glue.
Dobbin get fret wire its less work!!
Comment by Dobbin Pitch on April 30, 2012 at 2:37am anyone have a reason NOT to use clipped finishing nails?
Comment by Uncle John on April 29, 2012 at 10:55pm Yeah. Nice to listen to. Got to agree with Kieth. Intonation sounds precise.
