avengers63 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 canarywood neck with walnut scaf accent ebony fretboard - Washburn factory 2nd - no signs of any defect the f/b was way narrow, so I widened it out with 1/16" canarywood & walnut strips, then white binding. The end result is triple binding These pics were taken right after I put on the linseed oil, so it's all a little wet looking. The inlays were factory installed, as was the radius and fret slots. Not a bad buy for $29!!!! I picked up a different rosewood f/b that was radiused, slotted, bound and routed for trapeziods for $11.50.

WAK Guitars Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Wow nice deals. Ebay? Nice Job on the binding too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengers63 Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Wow nice deals. Ebay? Nice Job on the binding too. Yep - eBay. Seriously - where else are you gonna get a radiused, slotted, pearl/abalone inlaid ebony fretboard for less than 1/2 the cost of the inlays alone? Just a radiused & slotted ebony f/b would be what... $50 retail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I absolutely love the way the fretboard got with the triple binding. I am not sure how that will work with the canarywood neck though, having the white binding. I would be more prone to go with something draky for the neck. But too late for that now I would imagine. Regardless, the triple binding looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
