I kind of figured that, but wanted to make very sure that I was right when drawing the guitar. I hate mistakes and want it right the first time. Thanks for the replies.

When designing the neck, what has to be taken into account as far as the locking nut. I know that, on a 25.5" scale guitar, the first fret starts at 1.431" from the inside, or the edge toward the bridge, of the nut. Taking this into account, on the locking nut should the measurement be taken from the point on the nut that the "locking plate" clamps the string, or from the actual front edge of the locking nut. I have always wondered that, or even if it would make a difference, it is, after all, almost two millimeters thick metal. Thanks in advance guys. BTW, I am currently "designing" my first self built guitar. Been playing for over 20 years and have never had the courage till I found this site. We shall see....

One thing that I do other than play guitar is build custom 1911 pistols. To some, that is an art, to others, well those who don't like guns just don't like guns. Zebrawood is one of the items that we use to make grips for guns. I know it is tough, strong and fairly light. I appreciate the input. If all else fails, I go with what I know. This will be my first guitar build project. I have played since I was nine. Won't tell you how many years that is, but it is more than 20. Neck through strat, woods to be selected while at the supplier. The 1/4" stock that we get for the Zebrawood grips is sufficient for a fretboard so that part would be, well, free for me. Thanks for the input.

Anyone have experience here? I am wondering if Zebrawood is too porous for a fretboard. I love the look, and a well planned inlay would bring out the beauty of the wood. Any comments?
