Any body out there have a source for 25.125" scale slotted fingerboards.
I've now screwed up 5 trying to slot my own, darn it! Moving on to other
projects for a while.

That's pretty close to a 640mm scale (638.2) so if your bridge/saddle/nut positions are not locked down yet, you might be able to have LMI slot you a 640 board, and just move the saddle and nut the 1mm or so required.
OTOH, if you are copying an existing board you can make a jig to use a circular fretsaw to copy the board.
Cheers
John

[QUOTE=verhoevenc] Read ToddStock's tutorial on doing your own
aluminum fretscale templates. It's quite good, I have a ton now done that
way and am very happy with them.

Chris,

Where is the tutorial posted?

Louis

Thanks for the help guys. This is for a reproduction Vega banjo-guitar neck
so I want to be as close to spec as possible. I may have another go with the
ruler and magnifier!
Todd- I liked your tutorial on making aluminum fret scale templates. I've
been getting into a little metal work and it's addictive!   Too bad I don't have
a PC or I would be printing out wfret patterns right now!

Anybody with a PC think they could send a file over to a MAC man?

Louis
