FrankenLab Experiment #5

There's some advantages with big frets, they'll take longer to wear out, when they do wear down you still have a lot of meat left for re-crowning, they'll also help when doing string-bends, and personally I think they look cool anyway.

I’ve never known anything but jumbo frets on my electrics tbh, my semis are slightly thinner but not by much.

I seem to have a preference for lower frets on my guitars. I like to feel the fretboard and not have the string suspended in mid-air. Scalloped frets are certainly not for me!

I can't see why Ironwood wouldn't work with lemon oil. It's not going to harm it at all and can only benefit it.

Wow Frankie, you and Igor have been busy in my absence. Great job with the neck mate. That's as professional as they come.

Now to search for the "silent guitar".

Very little progress, just working through the sanding, now up to 240, though the headstock shows evidence of hasty routing,



Pretty happy with how the fretboard has come up after fretting,



Just need to sort the nut slot and make a nut for it.

Still looks good though mate despite the routing marks.

Factory made Vs FrankenLab made!



I'm pretty happy with that effort and I'm calling the S.M.ST neck done bar the finish.

I reckon the Frankenlab neck wins hands down, it's all hand-made and that gives it extra points in my book, never tried doing anything like that myself though.
