Anyone have a source for a 30" slotted fingerboard?

If you want to go the diy route, you can generate a fret slotting template. I used this person's file in Open SCAD to make a 33in scale template (attached image is the one I made).

It just takes a little bit of reading to use the open SCAD file and modify it. Only had to put in a couple numbers and it does the hard work for you. The creator has good instructions included in the download.
I have a 3D printer, so I printed it in 3 parts. Even if you don't have a 3D printer, there's a lot of print shops nowadays. Even some libraries let you print things.
