Steve's Guitar Making Part 7 - Fretboard 1 of 5

Man this is great. I used to be a building contractor and now I just started on guitar building, you vids are unreal and really helpful!

I'm not sure if that's better than the person who said I sound like Fozzy Bear from the Muppets, but thanks. ;-)

you laugh like the doctor in the simpsons. cracks me up.

this video was great help to me though. :)

um... well... being a big Radiohead fan I'll take that as a compliment? More in a "more productive, comfortable, not drinking too much" way than in a "a pig, in a cage, on antibiotics" way I guess.

this guy sounds like 'Fitter Happier' radiohead track from ok computer!

where is your hair man.

Thanks for the kind words. Trust me, making a guitar that is playable and looks decent is surprisingly easy if you've done any woodworking in the past. Good luck.

Steve

Well, it looks cool either way. If you had done it the other way round, like starting the building process with the shortcut and leting the hair grow along with the guitar it would really have kind of a philosphic touch. But never mind ;-)

By the way, the vids are the best I've seen on youtube. I always thought, that it would be so cool to build my own guitar. You put the goal in a reachable area. I'm still pretty scared, but if I build one, it'll be just because of your effort. Thanks.

Don't worry i've already built my guitar so yeah thanks anyway!!!!

you find a fret marking calculator on the net, type in the guitar scale length and it tells you the distance from the nut to each fret

I have seen some other dvd"s on guitarmaking and you build good way

Steve I love your series. Just a thought, why don't you put all this series on a DVD and sell them using PayPal? You could make an easy $50 to $100.00 dollars US or Canuk dollars. I am sure you could use the extra cash not that you are hurting. Just a thought. Anyways thanks for the series!

Dear steve how did you know what was the size of each fret?
Brad

Oh, it's just one of those "needed a change" things. I cut it off then grow it out, then cut it off... I can't stand it in between, but I like it long and I like it short.

Why did you cut your hair?!?!

Steve

You have cleared up a lot of mystery for me. I can't wait to see the rest of the series. Good work!

Don.

The Hair?
