Pre Slotted Radiused Fretboard Question


Recommended Posts

building my 1st neck and getting ready to fret this stewmac board

notice the slots are nearly double the depth of the tang

the frets are stewmac also & far as i know standard, it look pretty much like any fretwire

i got a couple of those fretboards and they have the same depth slots

another thing i noticed is the fretboards are a lot thicker than what is on the warmoth necks by a good 1 to 1.5mm

whats the go here ?

do i need to sand the board down until the fret takes the full depth of the slot or should i bind the board?

if the slots aren't filled with anything moisture would surel get in and pop the frets down the road a bit

obviously i'm pretty much a newbie neck maker i have always bought in warmoth necks for previous builds
