did you build your fret board before or after the neck ?

Cheers guys. This was my first serious attempt at a neck taper with hand tools, which I might make a little blog post about soon. Turns out it wasn't that hard and I'm happy with the result.

Oh yeah, I see that in the caption. Nice. Too bad all those electronic details are over my head.
