I have been working on affordable and accurate fret slotting jig and this is what I come up with.
After a couple iterations it is made in 5mm laser cut acrylic, and it is actually very sturdy.
If anyone is interested there files for both the jig and the rulers are available on my etsy shop, where I'm also making available the Portuguese traditional guitars.
Cheers!
I am using a new fret-slotting jig I built based on a design from http://sixgunguitars.com/fret_slotting_jig.html
It uses a razor blade for a slot locator. It works great!
I decided to build it after doing my first fretboard for a dulcimer stick. It was hard to get the slots perfectly straight. This little jig will be a real time saver. And the quality of my fretting just went up!
