vaibanez1 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Hey peeps, I'm looking for someone in the states that can remove & replace fretboards on ibanez necks. I would also like the inlays set & frets installed. I have (or will have) everything but the fret wire. Any help will be appreciated. Cheers, Jimm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that there a lot of people here that could do this for you. Have you considered getting a new, custom neck made instead? It probably would cost much more and you get to keep your original neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaibanez1 Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 There doesn't seem to be a shop that can do custom work without taking a year to complete. I have been relegated to doing a lot of my own custom work myself, but replacing a fretboard is out as I just don't have the room or the tools to do it. Neck work takes special tools that I just don't have the money to invest right now. I have been kicking around the idea of setting up a small shop to do this, but that will have to wait. cheers, Jimm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shape the neck profile (with a single rasp) the way you like it and glue on your fingerboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
