I don't know what template you use for slotting, but most are designed for fretboards that are cut off or Fender style, rather that a zero fret (which effectively lengthens the scale length by half the kerf width of the saw). How is the intonation? I'm guessing the extra 0.3mm doesn't make much difference.... Quote
