      Had a question..been googling all day for info.I wanna buy this neck (see pic).I wanna install my own fretboad and frets with led lights too.I bought leds.But my question is : Whats the best fret calculator..I see different ones..even software that calculates it.And is it a fucking difficult thing to do?I never made a neck but now I'll be making half of it.(Only fretboard and frets + shaping head etc.)
      BTW thats my status bass I bought last year on dutch ebay not a scratch on it.
      Roth on!

          If that Schecter fretboard is glued with epoxy that won't work, I don't believe...

          It might on there for good...

                  It looked like a transparent glue...but I'm not 100%.

                  I got medium jumbo frets now..got 25,5 scale fretboard(same as the schecter).I'm gonna use flat radius cause I tap alot and my parker feels pretty flat too and i like that neck.Gonna sand a lil off the back cause the schecter was to thick for me.
                  Here is where i am now.
                  Hope to get the frets in today.I have golden madrone veneer which i will paint green with a special coloured transparent INK.
                  Once it's on there will be nitro paintjob only on the head.There will be no fret inlays.I like that look.
                  Will post more pics when it's done.
