"Thanks Doug", In the Past I used the 45mm wide by 9mm thick White Oak Vine patterned timber as Fretboards on a lot of my builds, but the local hardware store, where I used to buy it from, suddenly decided not to stock it, along with lengths of a lovely White Oak Rose patterned 65mm wide by 9mm thick timber (which I used to use for Box Sides) any more, and sadly I haven't been able to find a new supplier for this lovely timber, also the CBN's "Anonymous Pick" used to use the same Vine patterned timber on a lot of his great builds.
And Yes! It's now a lot more user friendly :-)
I like the vine patterned fretboard on this one AGP! Very attractive. I would imagine that shortening the can would make it more comfortable to play.
I liked this one quite a bit before and as much or more now. Lots of fiber from the beans and great looking woods.
