I’ve got the fretboard width almost where I think I want it now, almost down to the width of my smallest 12 string nut - and Good Lady, with that fresh, full new fretboard right now it’s as round and fat as the fattest guitar neck from a hundred years ago. . I can’t touch finger to thumb around it anywhere, not even close. A lot of work yet, and an adequate outcome is growing more unlikely by the day. . But hey, as Mom used to say, can’t dance and too fat to fly. If it doesn’t work out, I can still butcher and convert it like the other one. 😀 .

Well, the second idea was way worse, but I’m stoked about the first one, that’ll do. . . . . . . . Donkey 😜🙄 You may have to zoom in a bit 💜 . The spread doesn't look great, but the strings aren't tight. I'm putting that off as long as possible for the repair to cure, but I wanted them on, even loose to finish shaping the width. I made a little change for the "G" string notch, turned out it was the octave one that had to move, and I tightened those ones momentarily to check, and it's better. . /35 #Luthier #Guitar #Framus12StringProject
