Kyle Cavanaugh Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 If it's not off by too much, I suppose you could pull the fret out, put in some wood filler, resaw, and refret. You may want to consider making or buying a Miter Box to make sure it's right. http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Fretting_suppl..._Miter_Box.html May I ask what country you're from? I think it's pretty cool how much ethnic diversty we get here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 That won't work. The board is already tapered. To use the miter box, the board has to stay square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdguitars Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 draw center line, fill eith epoxy, and resaw it slowly with a block thats at 90 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay5 Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Cool idea with the miter box! If you really want to fix it, Klye and BigD have it right. It might be a little tough to re-establish that 90 degree angle now that the board is tapered, but considering that its only one slot to cut and the others appear to be straight you can just use them as guides and set up some sort of one-time fence. Shouldnt be a big deal really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvertonessuckbutigotone Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 they were refferring to the first fingerboard that was already glued to the neck and partially fretted, apparently thats a different board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzocchi705 Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 I thought so, it just seemed odd to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
