daveq Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 I am looking for some compound radius fretboards (ebony, brz. rosewood, maple) and don't have the time to do the radiusing myself. Does anyone know of a supplier other than stewmac for pre-slotted compound radius fretboards (25.5)? I could slot them myself if you know of a supplier that only does the compound radius. Thanks, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarMaestro Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Bad luck Dave. I tried to find compound radiused fingerboards for weeks some time ago....I searched the whole web, asked on mimf and contacted many companies like Warmoth, USACG, Rampartguitars, etc. without success. I think there is no company selling them. After much thinking and calculating I decided to build cylindrical fingerboards, because a compound radius fingerboard which is not 100% correct cnc-machined is worse than a good cylindrical board. If you succeed in finding a supplier for them please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 i think rhoads said he was setup to to compound radius necks, (the swinging arm sanding jig thing) but i don't know if he's able to do just fingerboards alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 what's wrong with the stew mac ones anyways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarMaestro Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Sorry....I forgot that Stewmac does sell them. They have a very limited choice of woods though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveq Posted January 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Does anyone know of a supplier other than stewmac Thanks Marcel - I was looking for anyone other than stewmac. I wanted to find a bit more selection and hopefully a lower price than they had. Thanks anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarMaestro Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 As I already wrote I did not succeed in finding another supplier then stewmac, so If you find one, then please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveq Posted January 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Sorry....I forgot that Stewmac does sell them It looked like you were trying to tell me to use stewmac. I'll let you know if I find another supplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
