dlloyd Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I have an old strat copy that needs refretted. I'm considering sanding down the fretboard at the same time to increase the radius to 16" Good or bad idea? It's a slab board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry norton Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Yeah it's easy enough. Going from a 7.5 to a 16 inch radius will entail sanding a fair bit off the middle of the board so you just need to hope the dots go deep enough into the board to leave some left once you've finished. I s'pose the worst that could happen would be you'd need to re drill a couple of the dot holes and install some new dots if the old ones have been sanded away! Be careful of the rosewood dust as it's not too good to breathe it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
