cool. thanks for all your help...i will see what happens... had not thought of the shims ^^;; just a side note... im not really planning on cambering the fretboard... i might a little but not a huge amount... just a personal preference thanks again

Hrm. ok. the nut i bought is already slotted though and at the moment there is about 3mm clearance from the top of fret board to the top of the nut. Note: the fret board is 5mm thick. Like i said... i wouldn't think that this would matter... but i would like to take the width of the fret board down another .5mm just to be safe... what do you think?

ok. I've been doing lots of reading etc but i cant seem to find the answer to a really stupid (and probobly inconsequential) question. Does the fingerboard have to be any required depth? i.e 5mm personally i wouldn't think so but i want to make sure before i do anything else. thanks for any help

The maple isn't laminated yet, so im still "safe" so to speak. i was thinking of something dark but not ebony as out where i live it's pretty expensive... so it would still have to be a decent sort of wood or the sound will just decay... oh well. time fora long drive thanks

Hi. im new to the board but not to project guitar and i have a question... the question is born out of stupidity. the neck at the heel end of the guitar has to be 73mm wide... which wouldn't be a problem except for the wood that im using for the neck only being 69mm wide.... the neck is going to be a bolt on and is there any way to pack out the neck that wont effect the sound? i.e use some ply wood in the middle or even laminate the two pieces that i have already and even use wood filler to pack it out.... Im asking cause if i need to get some more maple i need to drive about an hour to get it Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks PuK
