nast2112 Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 It's a 21 fret Strat neck with a rosewood fretboard. Anyone know about going about extending the fretboard and adding another fret? I really like the neck and would rather not gamble on buying another. Thank you! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Why bother? You get exactly 1 semitone extra. I personally never go up that high, but if I needed that one semitone really badly, I'd just bend up to it. I don't mean to poop on your idea, but honestly, there's such an insignificant advantage that I can't even imagine why you'd want to think about it. Particularly since just adding an "extension" would be a work of fair complexity unless I'm overlooking something that someone else might have thought of. A 1/4" overhang with a fret slot... I can't imagine any way of doing this elegantly that doesn't just scream out "way more effort than it's worth." 1 semitone! A Half-step!

nast2112 Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I know it seems silly, and overall, it is. But there are some songs I like to play along to here at home where it's needed. Seems like I have seen a SRV neck added to before (on eBay). Thanks anyway. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No rule against owning more than one guitar, you know If you really wanted to pursue the idea, I'd think you'd need some pretty good skills...nothing's impossible.

Marzocchi705 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 You realy need to take offthe old board (theres a tut for that on the main site) and then fit a new 22 fret board. Way more hassle than its worth. Id say just buy another strat with a 22 fret neck, costly, but then you do have one more guitar and thats a good thing right.
