I can think of two general approaches. It seems you could take out the existing frets and add your new frets to the existing fretboard, filling old slots with putty or something. It might look strange, but I expect it would work fine in most cases. Or, you could remove the fretboard from the neck and completely re-install a new fretboard. This would look better and give a more professional result, but would be a major effort and would likely be very difficult to do without messing up the neck or ending up with the fretboard too far or too close to the strings. What have other people done? Problems encountered? kp SMTPOriginator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu From: Johnny Reinhard Subject: Re: Insignificance PostedDate: 08-10-97 02:06:51 SendTo: CN=coul1358/OU=AT/O=EZH ReplyTo: tuning@eartha.mills.edu $MessageStorage: 0 $UpdatedBy: CN=notesrv2/OU=Server/O=EZH,CN=coul1358/OU=AT/O=EZH,CN=Manuel op de Coul/OU=AT/O=EZH RouteServers: CN=notesrv2/OU=Server/O=EZH,CN=notesrv1/OU=Server/O=EZH RouteTimes: 08-10-97 02:06:17-08-10-97 02:06:19,08-10-97 01:04:51-08-10-97 01:04:52 DeliveredDate: 08-10-97 01:04:52 Categories: $Revisions: Received: from ns.ezh.nl ([137.174.112.59]) by notesrv2.ezh.nl (Lotus SMTP MTA SMTP v4.6 (462.2 9-3-1997)) with SMTP id C125652A.0000921C; Wed, 8 Oct 1997 02:06:14 +0200 Received: by ns.ezh.nl; (5.65v3.2/1.3/10May95) id AA09628; Wed, 8 Oct 1997 02:06:51 +0200 Date: Wed, 8 Oct 1997 02:06:51 +0200 Received: from ella.mills.edu by ns (smtpxd); id XA10533 Received: (qmail 1982 invoked from network); 7 Oct 1997 17:06:46 -0700 Received: from localhost (HELO ella.mills.edu) (127.0.0.1) by localhost with SMTP; 7 Oct 1997 17:06:46 -0700 Message-Id: Errors-To: madole@mills.edu Reply-To: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Originator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Sender: tuning@eartha.mills.edu
