Once the frets are pressed and glued in it’s time to attach the fretboard to the neck. The neck that comes with the kit is pre-carved on their CNC machines and it’s a little bit wider than the fretboard. I marked the position of the nut as a reference then applied glue to the top of the neck and clamped the fretboard in place.
Gluing the Fretboard to the Neck
I guess I didn’t spread the glue as evenly as I could have. The squeeze out was uneven which could mean there are voids in the joint.
Matching the Fretboard to the Neck
After gluing the fretboard to the neck I use a sanding block with 100 grit sandpaper to match the surfaces so they feel like one piece. After sanding the sides of the fretboard and neck the glue line looks even.
