After a bit of a break on the guitar project, I’ve dived back into working on the neck. First job is to radius the fretboard (going for a 12″ radius on this one). I’ll see how it compares to the 10″ on my MusicMan Axis Super Sport.
Fretting has been the weakest area of the previous two guitars, so I decided to change my approach.
I used an iterative approach of moving between flattening the fretbaord and radiusing the board. Using pencil marks to find the high spots, I worked until the fretboard was flat along it’s length with the correct curvature across. Interestingly you can see the high spots are at two defined points.
