    cheers for the feedback and suggestions everyone !
    I'm in 2 minds now to use a fingerboard or not. I started cutting fret slots for white cable ties yesterday and got about 7 of 28 frets done, it's not that easy as I don't have a saw wide enough for the width of a cable tie.
    I might look into putting some marker on the laminate and drilling the fret dots into that.

    @ Simon, in hindsight it would have been easier to shape the tuner slots before gluing but in the end I got there, used a dremel with a guide to clean up the edges.

    You might be able to get them from Realtone Music mate.


    I just posted a link to a demo of my BC Rich Warlock guitar, feel free to check it out.

    I'm either going to use a cut off brass bolt or brass rod for my nut.
    I've just got to see what the big green sheds got in stock.... ;-)

    The wood looks great Wokks. Definitely don't cover it up. How are you gonna finish the wood? Some kind of clear?

    cheers,
    Gav.

    cheers Gav, yes will be a spray clear coat for sure after its been nicely sanded.

    I'll look into ways of marking the frets so I don't cover it up !
