daveq Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 stewmac sells lots of different scale lengths. They have a compound and a cylindrical radius also. www.exoticwoods.com sells nice ebony boards also. I have had good and bad experiences with them though. The good experiences were with ebony fretboards. They have various scale lengths and radii also. No compound radius boards though. Warmoth is another option. I think they only sell 10" radius if I remember correctly. The compound boards they make only come on pre-built necks which is a real shame. I think that was a very poor decision on their part. There are others - check the "Supply" section here on projectguitar. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Mailloux Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 I've dealt a few times with LMI and I love them. www.lmii.com You can choose which wood, radii and scale lenght for the fretboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbansmurf Posted March 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 ok thanks... now how about a single action truss rod? the kind that you adjust where the neck meets the body, and doesnt come out of the headstock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotass Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 What would be a better site to buy a fretboard off of? Stewmac LMI is LMI probably more accurate/advanced or what? thoughts? ive heard great things about stewmacs fingerboards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
