Great info Rob - thanks for that! I guess I have no excuse to not start a 100% scratchie. Might be time to tool up!

cheers,
Gav.

Go for it Gav, all you've got to lose is your sanity. Luckily I had already lost most of mine so the rest didn't take long.

How are you measuring out? I started my test with a vernier caliper, but ran out of caliper at the 5th fret. I have some at work that are sufficient to do the whole board but even second hand these are reasonably high cost.

I've used the taped down paper template method as well but that also has pitfalls.

Hey Frankie, for measurements from the nut I just used my trusty 600mm steel rule. Getting the measurement down to 3 decimal places is for mugs. All you can do it get it as close as you can. I measured and checked several times. Whether it will be close enough, well I guess time will tell.



Then to prove that I am not a total Ludite, I used my trusty "electronic measuring stick". I measured each fret from the previous one. Its a good way to get peace of mind that the fret spacing is correct. Or at least as correct as I could get it.


Once I was happy that the measurements were OK I then scored the FB with the Stanley knife.

Yeah i guess that is a fair call, my pedantism on that is a work related issue. I play in those tolerances and tighter all the time. Its a hazard when some of your most critical tolerances get measured using the interference of overlapping wavelengths of a monochromatic light source.
I have yet to make some corrections to the test board, so I will see how that goes once I start fretting it. The it will be on to the Ebony board for the SV-1.
