Hi many thanks for your interest, no you don’t necessarily need to have a fall away. In fact the guitars I make don’t have one. (In my opinion ) if the the guitar is well made and the fretboard and frets are dead level then there is no reason why you would need a fall away. Some would argue tho that a guitar with a fall away is better to play. I’m in no way shape of form a shredder so I wouldn’t really know. I would say that none of my instruments have come back to be modified. Having said that I’ve never made one for a guitar God 😊

@ Thank you!!

Sounds like you leveled the frets with the neck not straight. That won’t necessarily affect playability

You are so welcome

The overall size of the plate was I think 60mm square 15mm thick. With a square milled out of one corner 50mm x 50mm x 5mm deep. Leaving 10mm wall thickness on two edges.

@@NickRogersNJRCustomGuitars Many thanks Nick. Much appreciated.

If a fall away is required then I would tape a thin plastic spacer to the end of my levelling beam. Ink up the the last few frets. Take the minimum amount off.

Hi I always use med jumbo fret wire guitarsandwoods.com/hosco-precut-stainless-steel-medium-jumbo-fretwire-pack-of-24.html

its not a paint, its a soldering flux,

Fret slot cleaner.

Yes titebond original

You can use naphtha if it concerns you. Thanks

@@NickRogersNJRCustomGuitars Thx, I appreciate the response. U have experience doing these type necks, which I respect, I’m here learn. I’ve done many others refrets but none were lacquered. Would dry sanding w 1500 or higher than buffing the board back out be an equally effective method?

@@johnnypk1963 hi, dry sanding will work but the paper would clog up quickly. Best of luck with your projects.

Thanks. I used the truss rod slot to align it in both directions with dowels. One dowel right at the end of the slot to give me my “Y” location and a couple more back along the slot to align “X”

Hi Sergio, many thanks for your comment. But in answer to your question I have to say no I can’t. I don’t know what Zeration is sorry

@@NickRogersNJRCustomGuitars I mean about the script you used to make tool zero

No unfortunately it was pretty loud. The sound was turned down when making the video. However a later upgrade was to install a 1.5 Hp air cooled spindle. This was a lot let’s say less noisy! However even tho the running of the spindle was quiet you can’t change the noise the cutter makes actually removing material. You could possibly incase the CNC in a sound proof box. Or better soundproof a section of your loft. Best of luck with whatever you decide to do.

@@NickRogersNJRCustomGuitars thank you for the reply! Yeah I was definitely going to build a substantial enclosure for it, also the mafell spindle which is a bit quieter. Thanks again for the advice!

Many thanks, the fret wire I use is Medium jumbo. Basically the standard fender size. Hope that helps

@@NickRogersNJRCustomGuitars Yes it does . Thank you !

Many thanks Dave very kind. quite the compliment coming from the master!

Many thanks Bernard very kind

Thanks for your message, tearout is a pain. If the tearout pushes back down then yes the titebond will be ideal but if the material is missing completely (nothing to push back down) I have repaired issues like this using superglue (with no activating spray or it will turn white in colour) built up slowly in stages. It’s not invisible but you would have to look hard for the repair. Hey but please seek further advice as this is just how I do things there may well be better alternatives.

Mute it ? Or watch something else perhaps? Best wishes, may you next bowel movement be a pineapple

@@NickRogersNJRCustomGuitars 🤣

Yes this particular guitar was finished with birchwood tru oil. Sanded to 320 grit first then I applied a sanding sealer. Then I slowly built up thin layers of the oil applied by an old washed out t shirt . Hope that helps best of luck with your project.

Thanks very much

Many thanks for your comments, I wish you all the best with your CNC machine. Unfortunately due to the amount of time and effort it takes to me make my 3d models I’m not in the habit of giving them away, sorry

Hi thanks for your message/question It is optional there is no need to glue frets in. I like to add the glue to take up any space between the bottom of the feet slot and the bottom of the fret tang. By filling this space with glue it adds the the guitars sustain and protects the guitar from having any so called dead notes.

Thanks, the lock collars I made myself. I did upgrade it again to ball screws. This made a real difference and is well worth looking into But sadly I never made a video.

"Second step, this is a fret beveling tool from Guitars and Woods in Portugal- I shall put a link in the description. It's a 35 degree by 90 (degree) set file. And at the previous step I'm taking this down almost to the lacquer- as far as I dare to go without touching the lacquer, and I shall finish it later with a really fine file when we dress the fret ends. Obviously this is done to the both sides of the neck."

I use titebond original

James hi, thanks for your kind comments, yes the tone rider generators are great all rounder pickups. I’ve used them several times now in building guitars. However I also like and can recommend rolling mill pickups from iron gear. Not much in the price between the two but I think if I had to choose the best all rounder it would be the iron gears however there is not much in it. Best of luck with your project. Thanks nick

Thanks for your feedback, yes ca glue could be used. I choose to use titebond simply for the ease of clean up. The wet and dry paper is very fine and in turn will scratch the polished surface, but the small scratches will polish out with ease.

Thanks very kind
