68 lost souls Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Hi I know there already a few threads on shops in the uk but I was just wondering if antone knew of any european shops that sell preslotted fingerboards. Shipping is pretty expensive from the US to Ireland. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerryL Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 http://www.craft-supplies.co.uk/pdf/craft-...d_catalogue.pdf Craft Supplies have this PDF that includes many guitar parts and they're in the UK. I haven't ordered from them but have looked at this before and they have some very nice stuff, by the look of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToneMonkey Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 If you go and have a look in the for sale section, then silvertonessuckbutigotone has got one for sale. He might be in the US but it might end up cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68 lost souls Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Had a look at the fingerboard in the classified its not for me. I'm looking for a 24 3/4" preslotted ebony or macassar ebony not quite sure, not radiused yet. I want to inlay it with would so I think it would ber easier not radiused first. Feylya where do you get your wood and hardware? Anywhere you know of over here? Where are you based? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feylya Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 I haven't built yet. I got a nice Brazlian mahogany neck blank from a builder suppliers in Galway (€16 for about 4 foot) but I'm based in Dundalk. Builder suppliers and cabinet makers are your best bet I think.

ozzy Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 in germany there is: Woodland ← I ordered pre slotted fretboards, body blank, veneer and necks at woodland but had no luck. The quality of the wood is bad. Nearly all wood is undersized and warped. In the fretboards (also warped) are many small holes that need to be repaired. Some slots have little cracks that can't be repaired. The necks are raw and need to be planed. In raw state (badly warped) they measure under 1 inch. No measurements agree with the specifications on their website. They're all under. BTW- they offer a pre slotted 628 mm scale (24 3/4) but from the 10th slot up the scale is about 1/32 to short. An all of that after a delivery of 4 weeks. Keep your hands off woodland! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't very happy to hear my complaints but promised to send me replacement. I hope it won't take 4 weeks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digideus Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Sawmills are a good source in the UK. there arent many, but I tend to find them cheap and willing to deal with you. You may have to buy a 12ft plank, but the cost is cheap at about £30 for 2" mahogany Do a search on www.yell.co.uk for companies in your area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
