Pre-slotted/radiused fretboards. Reputable Source?

[SlipknotKoRnfan]

Hey all.

Looking to purchase a pre-slotted, pre-radiused ebony fretboard for an Ibanez RG7620 neck from '00.

I've checked Luthiers Mercantile but they don't have the radius im looking for (430mm, or 17")

Anyone know of any other options out there?

Thanks.

I buy from Forest guitars , they are based here in Spain, but i reckon they ship internationally. They do have ebony fretboards in 17" radius and 24 frets. They are top notch

I make mine with my compensated compound radius. It’s basically an Ibanez-compatible radius but with a progressive compounding at the highest frets. If you get stuck, let me know.

Merp...the guy from Forest Guitars just emailed me back saying that they don't do fretboards for 7 string. All of their fretboards are too narrow for me to use.

Thanks Frank. If you can do a constant 430 mm radius (not interested in compound radius) I shall keep you in mind!

For anyone else curious, what I'm trying to obtain is:

ebony fretboard, 648mm scale length (25.5"), 430mm radius, 24 frets pre slotted, with extra length behind the nut to accomodate a locking nut.

What is stopping you from doing your own?

Yeah that’s fine. I have that already programmed with the Floyd ledge. I just need to draw/change the radius. I have plenty of Ebony here.
