I chose to use the ebony fretboard with the swoop of brown coloring. \u00a0I discovered that it had a natural dot and I oriented it so that this dot was at the 12th fret- a natural octave marker! \u00a0I cut the space out for the neck in the body. \u00a0This has an extra long tenon which terminates at the bridge pickup cavity.\u00a0\u00a0I really didn’t want to put in a neck reinforcing rod, but decided at the last minute to do so. \u00a0I think the 5 piece neck with the thick ebony fretboard would’ve been OK, but I chickened out. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
