So you want to slot your own fret boards

Posted by Leroy Beal on October 27, 2010 at 10:25am

Here is a short photo essay explaining how I slot fret boards. I've used this setup to make fret boards for soprano ukes to baritone guitars. Any scale length is possible. Except for the slotting blade, everything is on the cheap.
