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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
