The fretboard will be an .080 inch thick curved verneer like this here...
That's my 67 and I'm going for that look. I'm not going to try and "curve" it around the maple because I'm afraid of spliting, so I'm going to cut the inside curve first...glue it on ...and then cut the topside. I have to start with a .160 thick piece.
Here is the grain again, and as you can see..this stuff ain't cheep!!
.82 board feet and almost $60 bucks...ouch!!
There is no wood hard enough to hinder cutting on the cnc...heck...I cut stainless on it all the time!! It will cut like there is nothing there!!
