Roy's Guitar, Chapter 15, Fretboard Preparation





Today some bindings were made, these will compliment the fretboard. The binding will match the body. They are maple with a walnut line at the bottom. The next step was to cut the rosewood fretboard to its proper measurement and taper. With all the lines drawn on the board (considering the binding) a rough cut was made. Then using a table router and jig system a few passes were made leaving a clean tapered piece of wood (picture). The next step will be to bind the fretboard then glue the fretboard to the neck.
