So i have a couple of questions - since im going for a zero fret design do i have to install the zero fret on a slightly higher level?
Also im thinking of moving the vertical support of the strings away from the zero fret to give a bit of an illusion that the strings arent supported side to side
I intend to glue everything using epoxy resin instead of wood glue, i hope to get a stiffer neck and a very solid bond between the body and neck, perhaps to win some bluesy sustain characteristics?
The body is made of ash and mahogany, is it benificial to seal the long grains of the ash by massaging in some epoxy?
Im looking to have a sunburst-ish finish with a darker area around the edge, how do i approach this?
The neck is of maple and not very strong grain, i was thinking about coating the maple with epoxy and wetsand it to get a real smooth surface
What glue is appropriate to use on the frets as i want something that gets hard but obviously not as permanent as epoxy
Any other pointers about my project? ill take all the information i can get
