So, I put 2 coats and I'll put the last one tomorrow. It works well with the 000 steel wood.

Here is my last question about the work :

Do I have to sand after the last coat ?

Do I have to wait during 4-5 weeks after the last coat before playing with the neck ?

I don't know if I will polish after. Actually, I don't know how to polish !!

I'll try to find 0000 steel wood tomorrow. I hope I will find some. Otherwise, I'll use the 000 used gently and smoothly.

If I understand well, I should wait during 4-5 weeks before using again the neck.

I'm just refinishing the fingerboard. The guitar is a Jem 77 Bfp.

I've got 000 steel wood. Is it good ?

How many time must I wait between coat ?

on the pot, it is writen that the next coat should be put between 12 and 24 h, but i don't know if this is always true for guitar fingerboard.

Again, many thanks

Hi,

Okay,

But actually i try to clean the fingerboard but unfortunately I couldnt clean it perfectly and I'm not sur if i can clean more without damaged it ? I don't want to make big error and damaged the inlay for instance.

Do you think I shoud rob until there is no more dust ?

here is a picture of the neck

Hi,

I've got a Jem 77 BFP and, as you know, the fingerboard is in mapple. It is very dirty. I cleaned it with lighter fluid and I rubbed gently it with 0000 grade steel. The matter is that some finishing of the fretboard has gone (actually, it was the case before I cleaned it). So if I play again with the guitar, the fingerboard will be dirty quickly.

Therefore, my question is How can I put some oil or refinish the fretboard to protect it again against dirt ?

Any informtation will be great,

Many thanks

Cheers

Hello,

I want to buy a soprano electric guitar (i.e. a guitar tuned one octave up). Since no firm build this kind o f thinks, I've decided to build it myself. My questions are the following :

- Can we just change the neck of an ordinary guitar ?

- If yes, Who build soprano neck ?

Thanks !!

Hi,

I have an Ibanez SC 620 and I would like to convert it to a fretless guitar. I've got some questions about this conversion.

1- Can we do that ? (This is the most important question )

2- Should I change all my fingerboard ?

3- Should I change the pickup or other stuff of my guitar ?

4- Can we replace frets by a white line (more easy to find the good notes )

5- Is it expensive ? Is it hard to do ?

Finally, If you have already done this transformation perhaps you could let your experience here.

Many thanks

Thanks for your answer !!

I don't want to soud too low, heavy and with the tuning D G C F Bb D G when I put my finger for a C (like in usual tuning) the pith is Eb like some saxophone !!! So If i want to jam I only need to read the chord of the Eb-instrument and not transpose all the way. Actually, in the beginning I wanted just to transpose my guitar but with a 7 string I will keep all the bass.

Hi !!

I will buy a 7 string but before I want to know if it is possible to tune the guitar in D G C F Bb D G (a minor third higher) ?

To get this tuning should I use a special neck : a kind of "soprano neck" or may I do that with a regular neck ??

Many thanks for your answers !!!
