A local hotshot has been playing out with my latest prototype. It sounds AWESOME and totally blows away what he's currently playing with. Not a brag...its nothing special. It's just really targeted towards live music as opposed to being a little more balanced for studio and live work.
Anyhow, I ripped off the fingerboard to fix a minor issue abd I also updated the neck carve. For whatever reason, I completely botched the nut width. I recarved the neck into a 1.5" width AND rolled the fingerboard edges that left me a string spacing of 1.45" from E to E. FAR too close for adult size fingers.
DOH!!
It's now firewood. C'est la vie. I just wasn't paying attention and I did something stupid. It was good practice. I don't get to replace many fingerboards. It's quite a process on a set neck and was good experience. I WON'T make that mistake again
I'm extremely disappointed, but I'll take it as a learning experience. Number one, know when to leave well enough alone. Number two is PAY ATTENTION to all details.
I just thought I'd post because no one ever posts their screw ups. Here's my screw up.
