Hi Frank, thanks for the info, do u sand all of the freboard by hand then? Just changing blocks as you go up the neck? Do you find it hard to get the cone shape accurate? I can really imagine myself making a mess out of that, doesn't it need to be incredibly precise?
I think i'll definately stick with the ebony and the deep set neck then I'm glad someone other than Ed Roman uses the deep set neck, i never know whether to actually listen to a word he says. I see the logic in stopping it before the bridge tho, have you got any pictures of any guitars you have built like that?
Thats a good idea with the saddles but I'm planning to use a tone pros with piezos in there...do you recon i'll have enough depth to cut the slots before i start damaging the electronics? Have you ever tried this yourself?
Thanks again!
