verhoevenc Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 There's no problem with having one more fret... OR... you could just cut the board off shorter and get rid of said fret... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris It is very possible it is really a 24 fret plus a zero fret = 25 frets total. I've seen a number of necks and fretboards advertised on Ebay like that.

verhoevenc Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Not even a zero fret... it's just cut to let you know where the nut goes. But yes, that's a huge possibility as well, good catch. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
