supplebanana Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 from reading all of your other posts i think that the main reason you're "scared" to do this yourself is that you payed $70 for your pre-fretted f/b - correct? also it may be beneficial for any potential offers if you say what size it is now AND what size you require it to be. other questions is the f/b bound, inlayed, (wood type?) etc are all considerations too. this just shows that Proper Planning & Preparation Prevents P*ss Poor Performance...... my personal opinion is that if you're scared to do this yourself - then should you really be attempting to build anything at all? my 2p's worth...

Akula Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Also, where are you, geographically speaking? It'd make no sense mailing a fretboard over the Atlantic ocean for something like that - but if someone lives half an hour's drive away, they might be tempted. I agree with supplebanana though - it'd be much better for you to try it yourself. Dont worry about breaking it! If you're worried about the price of replacing a broken fretboard, you'd probably still have to pay for someone else to do the job for you. Only thing you'll gain from having a go is experience, which is worth a lot more than money is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Resize how? As in trim to size? I can understand not wanting to slot your own fingerboard if you don't have the right tools/templates, but if you're worried about trimming a board to size, you may not be ready to do anything that requires gluing a fingerboard to anything.
