Fretboard flatness during refret process.....
This may have been covered in any number of vids by Big Daddy Proper or Paw Paw Erlewine, but I wondered how flay everyone goes when it comes to fretboard prep and refrets. For example, I currently have an old 70s SG needing a refret, Ive begun to flatten the board. I have some low spots in the middle of some frets in “cowboy-zone”, but the…

Hi all,
A customer brought in a 1970 Maton CW80 12 string…it needs a neck reset. Has anyone done this successfully (or alternatively have a sad story about how it’s impossible)? I found one article detailing a workaround and showing a very odd neck architecture (https://harmensmusicblog.blogspot.com/2019/05/maton-cw-806-1977-dreadnaught.html)…

Adding a resistor to a pickups hot lead?
I have a customer with a PRS Semi Hollow Special 22, it features two Duncan humbuckers in the bridge and the neck, and also a Narrowfield pickup in the middle. He wants to drop the volume pot down from 500k to 250k to have the humbuckers a bit darker overall. The issue that he has with this is the middle pickup is already quite dark, and how…

James, this is a great question, but I wanted to let you know that you posted it on the timeline. The timeline is constantly being added to making it likely that it will be hard to find again. A better spot for this question would be on our forum under the CNC subheading. Here is the link for that.

I only make acoustics, not electrics, so I can’t comment on the latter.
I do the soundhole, all inlays, backstrip, end wedge, headstock plate, fretboard, and the entire neck on a CNC. Mine (Laguna IQ) is 3′ in Y and 2′ in X and that is plenty. If you are going to do necks and don’t want to go the double sided route, you will need plenty of Z height.
