Fingerboard extension gap - new build
Thanks Karl. Robbie’s courses (online) and Jeff’s videos have been super helpful with this whole process. I really like the tip about using a spacer at the bridge location to sand an angle in the neck block area – I’ll definitely play around with that on the next one.
Thanks again!

Fingerboard extension gap - new build
Thank you – I may play around on my next build with building more of an angle into the neck block/top area under the fingerboard. Now that I have one under my belt I can better understand how that could work. Thanks again!

Fingerboard extension gap - new build
OK great – thank you! When I clamp down the extension the straight edge is right at the top of the bridge and it doesn’t take much to clamp to the top so glue it is. Appreciate it!

Fingerboard extension gap - new build
I’m nearing the end of my first build. I have about 1 mm gap above the top at the end of the fingerboard extension. I’ve read and seen some guidance to clamp that down while gluing the extension. Others seem to build in a wedge-shaped shim – although it seems that is mostly done with neck resets and not new builds. A straight edge on the frets…
