Fret Boarding

I finished cutting out the inlays today and curved out the fret board. It has a 10" radius curve at the nut up to the 9th fret and transitions to a 16" radius up to the 13th fret. Its 16" the rest of the way.

I strung the guitar before putting the curve in the fret board to make sure I didn't sand it down too thin. I put in the picks up too to make sure they fit in properly under the stings. Everything came together pretty great. Looks pretty cool too :)



I made this two sided block to sand out the proper size curves. I wrapped it in 60 grit sandpaper. After the curve was there I hand sanded it up to 220 grit.
