THE BUILD PROCESS

MAKING A FRETBOARD

This slide show follows roughly a step-by-step progression.

Slides advance every 10 seconds, but you can also go forward or backward using the arrows on each slide.

FRET SLOTS ARE CUT WITH A SPECIAL SAW, THEN THE SIDES OF THE TRIANGULAR FRET MARKERS ARE SLOTTED. THE FRET MARKER AREAS ARE CUT OUT BY HAND WITH A MINIATURE ROUTER.

HOW THE FRETBOARDS LOOK ONCE THE FRET MARKERS ARE POURED USING PEARL LIQUID RESIN, THEN FLATTENED.
