    The important thing is that it PLAYS! Love the RAW details...now let's hear it! (You've gotta admit, this build fits the "no rules" aesthetic...LOL!!!). CHEERS!

    lol. cbg's aren't meant to be perfect anyway. there are calculators online that you can use for your next one. i like wfret, personally, since it lets you print out a template.

    yah thats the sticker...i looked everywhere on how to measure the fret marks but to no avail so i just gave up and made the sticker. So its become a decoration more than a fret board. Not knowing is kind of the fun part of playing it :)

    The scale doesn't look right for your fret markers (Is that the sticker that doesn't help much?). The 12th fret should split the scale in half which it looks like it falls short of that halfway mark.
