That fretwire is enormous by the way. The biggest that allparts sells, with the smallest tang size, go figure.
Props for attempting to dress those frets!

wow. a crown height of .102", and a width of .170". that's pretty much twice the size in every direction versus "standard" guitar frets. jumbo is quite the understatement...This fretwire is bigger than 6000, by quite a lot actually.

I should have read the fine print, I had a hard time just pulling it through my fret bender.

Whats this Output jack style called? i know it seems like a dumb question but i cant think of the term. i kinda want one instead of using a football or square outer plate.
Now that fretboard looks bitching! I was thinking to myself that you had like some kinda of glue residue left on it or something but I guess it was just a really pale piece of ebony.
Ya, it definitely wasn't as nice as the one that I used on the 8 string. I think I may stain that one too, the blacker the better I say.
love your builds man, is that xiphos8 going to be headless or is the design pending?
That's how I do my carves, though I don't use a handheld grinder, I attach my flap wheel to a chock and attach it to my drill press, that way I'm in control of the body, the flap wheel is stationary.![]()

Notice the 5" grinder with the flap wheel. It's my favorite tool now
Decided to do the top with it instead of the belt sander this time. What you see in the pics is as far as I'm gonna go with it. It's a dangerous way of doing it cause if you slip you can destroy your work piece. The advantage is that it took me less than 5 minutes to get the guitar to that point![]()
Glad you got it fixed. That new board looks really nice!
