Hi,
I am currently building a neck to replace a destroyed neck on my Gretsch G5265 Jet Baritone...
I settled on a laminate: Black Limba with walnut down the middle
My question is, can I get away without a fretboard? I love the look of it (in my head) and prefer to go without but Im concerned the Black Limba is too soft and wont hold up over time.
Thoughts?
