Here's a pic of the saw that also comes with a miter box that works great for CBG sized fretboards.

I bought that exact same setup from Michael's for a project this summer and I was sloppy and the saw cut the aluminum miter box! So be careful...

I use the aluminum box for my CBG fretboards using a wedge piece of wood to hold the board in place. I use a framing square for larger fretboards.

Haven't had the problem of cutting into the box, but the handle did break on mine. I cut 2 pieces of wood and attached them on each side of the saw by drilling through the wood and saw top clamp and then put small bolts through with some nuts to hold it all tight.

Stewmac has fretted boards for guitars that could be cut in half(long ways) and used for 2 3-string gits.

Oak and Poplar are great for fretboards.

"I bought a Zona 35-380 dovetail saw"

The new Zona 35-380 that I just bought yields too wide of a kerf.  Not very sharp, either.
