What is this easier method to the fretting madness you have found?

Comment by Kimmer Olesak on May 26, 2014 at 2:29pm

Which part of it do you dread? Laying them out, installing or finishing them?

Comment by Skinny Gumbo on May 26, 2014 at 2:21pm

Impressive.  I would love to pick your brain on your fretting method.  That is the part of my builds I dread.

By the way, thanks for all the support with the 'Zero Fret' choice.

I miss counted...make that 31 necks!! Combination of3 and 4 strings, lefty and righties, tapered and not. Headstocks cut and sanded, cuts for boxes have been made, frets are on, beveled and smoothed (found a much easier method to that madness), and about 4 necks rough carved so far. The clock is ticking. I have till the 20th of June to get it all done. Of course, there's the job in the there to eat up some time but all looks good so far. I'm still optimistic....let's see how long that lasts. The Renegade Fair in Chicago is on June 21 & 22. Plenty of time?
