Fretless maple fingerboards?

[NickCormier]

Just got an email back from Carvin, saying they wont do a fretless maple fretboard neck.. And Soulmateguitars.com Im pretty sure wont either.

Is there any luthiers who builds necks with 5 string fretless maple fingerboards similar to Warmoth/Carvin?

(looking for different headstock than fender. hopefully somewhat reversed/pointy)

soulmate should....
did they say otherwise?

I have a fretless 5 in progress with a birdseye board....yeah it'll need epoxy, but so what? I don't understand why they'd be reluctant to do this, unless they absolutely don't want to deal with epoxy.

Warmoth makes necks that have non-Fender shapes or you could get a blank headstock and shape it yourself.

Hi all, this is my first post on this forum.

I don't actually recall being asked about a birdseye fretless neck, however I do make them regularly.

Pensa and Atelier Z both make them, or have made them for Christian McBride, anyhow.

Easyist solution is to get an acrylic impregnated finger board from Larry at Gallery Hardwoods. I have used several maple boards for fretless basses, they work very well. Just working on this 6 string fretless just now.
