SG scratchy build

[Sonic Mountain]

Hmm.. well I thought I'd seen them do it with the board glued to the neck, but in this video it looks like it's temporarily attached to a block to radius. It's also been fretted before being fitted. Fretboard radiusing happens at around the 2:14 mark



This one has a different angle art about 2:25

Perhaps I wasn't paying attention, here is a fretting vid, again looks like its temporarily attached to a block:

I had similar fun with Ironbark. You just gotta keep working it, little by little. The hardest bit I found was maintaining a straight stroke so as not to fall off either side and making the radius uneven.

ive been comparing my scratch neck with the PB neck for the lefty wefty. The scratchy is coming up better than i thought it would ive got 314 to The 12th fret so a scale lenght of 628, al looks good. The PB neck is 317 to the 12th fret with the frets all slowly getting longer, at the 22nd its half a fret longer, if i put the bridge at 634 will that work, its like the scale lenght is completely different.
