Some images here of the look of frets on bamboo and no added fretboard material, ie just bamboo laminations. A board over the top would change the look a lot but I don't know if there would be adhesion issues, depending on the fingerboard wood to be used http://www.stick.com/instruments/bamboo/
It may have to be enlarged to work with body sized pieces, but the following link could be ok for neck blanks and fingerboards http://theamateurluthier.com/movies/easyjointer.mov
Thank you so very much for this, I was thinking to balance possible neck dive by a heavier body wood. Thanks once again for the links and fantastic plans :hbang::hbang:
Hi Turkodenis, is it possible to for you to re-imagine the drawing of the Destroyer you posted a little while back, but with 8-string configuration and 27" scale? Hope you can help with this :bowdown:
