This afternoon - reduced the fretboard thickness, levelled the carp out of it, put a 16" radius in and re-leveled length wise, then installed the stainless steel frets, ground and filed them back.
Still need to polish and a few edges. Also need to re-finish the fretboard after the sanding.
mind blown.
1. the fretboard is in tune - on a guitar without a design, from scratch by someone that has never built a guitar.
2. just one buzz note (at about 14th fret)
3. with the nut reduced in hight, the 7th at fret 24 is 2.5mm (0.125") action.
My fingers are numb - that 60-10 string set is high tension.
