Looking to get a fingerboard slotted, 32" scale

mordechai · #1 02-14-2013, 11:03 AM

I was wondering if there is anyone here who can slot a fingerboard for me? I have a piece of jatoba/Brazilian cherry that I'd like to use. Please PM me and we can figure out payment.

If this against the rules, my apologies.

Yes, I can radius and slot your fingerboard; any scale length; any radius; on or off the neck. 32" scale is routine. The cost is typically $20 plus return shipping.

You can reach me by PM or directly at brucejohnson100....at....att..net

Mordechai (BTW, have you seen "the regular show"?),

Slotting a board is not that hard mate. Just measure, take your time, use a straight edge to lean the saw against and off you go. There are fret calculators on Stewmac and other places. A fret saw is also a great investment.

I have a fret saw and straight edge, what I lack is time! Repairing guitars and basses has become somewhat of a night job for me, in addition to my day job and being in a band, which is my volunteer work. My birthday present to myself this year is making some progress on a bass for myself. I'll have to start a build thread soon.

Thanks Bruce, I sent you an email.
