Best fretboard material I’ve found was a couple of boards of purple heart I picked up from my local building materials recycling store for very cheap! The only mistake I made was not buying all the boards they had! Big mistake!! I favor the longer boxes to accommodate a whammy bar! I still haven’t come across one long enough I can use, that Cohiba would do it, I think !! Gorgeous box!
It's really up to you. I have templates and lay then on a ruler and put them on the box to see how long the neck would. My default is 25" scale but that's personal preference.
Love it!!! Keep it coming!!
Thank you!

Thank you. I've used purple heart for a neck, haven't tried it as a fretboard. I also like the whammy bar idea.

I think so!

Do you resaw those boards down with a band saw?
No, I check to make sure they are a consistent thickness and cut the width on a table saw.
Booze Box. 😬
Measure once, cut twice. Or is that the other way around? 🤔
You know it, something like that!
Measure once, cuss twice!!
