    I didn't expect perfection when ordering the kit. Provided I can somehow fix stuff with basic tools I'd be happy to have a go. I guess it's just a question of if I'm biting off more than I can chew

    Its tricky to choose one theme and one size to run it all the way up the fretboard. Even the last fret is out and I've only got 2 or 3mm to play with there. Maybe bigger dots from 1-12 and smaller...

    GTL-1 maple fretboard kit hardware options

    This kit on the website is only offering gold or black hardware options. Is chrome (or whatever the silvery colour is) hardware available?

    Cheers!
