Thank You for the comments :)

I'm with scherzo1928 when I ask, how did the maple/ebony overlay come about? I'd never heard of such a thing before (the more I think of it, the cooler it sounds). .

OK, so I hope I'll not mess up anything while writing about this :ugh: (I heard Fender used this technique in the past.)


So first there is a Maple fretboard (core) - the radius, fret slots are all made/prepared on the Maple fretboard, later an already shaped 1mm Ebony overlay is glued on the Maple fretboard.
This process itself takes more time than your "average" fretboard gluing/building but this makes the neck/fretboard more rigid, which makes the resonance/sustain better. :bowdown:

So there it is :wavey:

Sounds cool. If I ever get a custom shop job done, I'll certainly keep this process in mind. Thanks for clearing that up.

Now enjoy your new axe you lucky son-of-a-gun (and yes...I'm still green with envy :squint:).

That's really cool. And to be honest, I wondered about trying something a bit like that when I started my build, but using a thin layer of cocobolo over ebony, since I had a coco fretboard that turned out way too thin to use on it's own.

Glad to know that actually works.

Dino Interview


But in the end - Dino got in contact and got his guitars back :yesway:

Hey, that's my article! (I was sent over here by my website stats) Did the article play any role in helping Dino getting his guitars back? I'd love to think I could help if possible, but either way I'm glad he got his axes back.

Hi :)
I discovered the article after Dino already got the guitars (got in contact with the Person that had that 2 guitars) :lol:

But still you did a great interview :yesway:

my dream 7 string :( but with fixed edge pro7 ...

Well from what I know Dino uses Tremol-No's... so it can be a simple solution :) Still You never know what the future will bring :)

No. It is not a baritone. From what I know most of Dino's 7's are standard scale :yesway:

Gauges. Dino style :metal: 10-46+54 D'Addario for Standard A.

I think Dino uses 9-42+ 52 or 54 for B standard, or just the same set as for "A", you could Ask Rick for more details, Rick rules :metal:

Personally, on my other 25.5" 7 i use D'Addario EXL-120-7 (9-42+54) for B standard

Hope I could help :)
