  • Great job on the fret work... Really looks great .
  • That is really a beauty.
  • i have now bought the same stewmac Fret tang nippers after having a horror of a time on the bound fretboard i made , you live and learn hey !
    Like you say there not cheap but they work real fine , i tried allsorts of methods of removing that skinny little bit of tang , took about 6 hours to do all 44 ends and three days of numb finger tips - so i optetd for the stewmac for the next bound fretboard
    juju.
  • Hey there my friend nice to hear from you thanks for the comments.. Yes I bit the bullet and bought the fret tang cutter from Stew Mac. Pricey but really does a nice job.... What do you use?
  • Hey Jim
    Well they say unlucky for some "13" - dont look like the case here , looks fantastic , you made a reale nice job of the neck , the maple binding really looks cool and finished off with the Spalterd heel cap "sweet"

    how did you under-cut the fret tangs ?

    juju.
