bancika Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 (edited) Those I usually find are only 6cm wide so they can't do it. Thanks! Edited October 26, 2007 by bancika Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick500 Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Do you need one already radiused and/or slotted? Or just looking for some stock to make one? Check eBay for blanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djhollowman Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 If you're in UK try Craft Supplies. But get their printed catalogue - their website is almost useless! I bought an ebony board from them; it's 25.5" scale length, 24 fret, pre-radiused to 16" and pre-slotted. It's 69mm wide, so it's just wide enough! They don't mention width (or whether they're to suit 6-strings or 7-strings) but if you ask for one wide as possible you should be fine. Also, ask them to pack it well - I had one arrive broken, which was a pity since it was a couple of mm wider than the replacement!! Hope this helps!

bancika Posted October 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Slotted would be fine, don't care about radius. I'm in the US Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick500 Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Oh, I should have mentioned before: Ask Jon... I imagine he'll run across this thread pretty soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j. pierce Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 I've gotten fairly wide fingerboards from LMII in the past, but it's hit or miss - what you get will always at least meet the "minimum dimensions" listed on their fingerboard pages. But if you need something special, they're usually more than willing to accommodate you; I'm pretty sure they can do wider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MescaBug Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 www.lmii.com They sell 3 different size fingerboards: Standard 2" 3/4, Electric 2" 1/2 and Wide 3". You should be ok with a Standard. Most 25.5 scale 7 strings are less than 2" 3/4. If you need something bigger than that, or if you really want to be sure you have enough material, just buy a bass fingerboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
