Hi...just signed up here and have a question...are pre fretted fingerboards available anywhere?..Been building off and on for around 40 years now,and it seems like I remember getting them back in the 70's...I have been using pre slotted when I take the time to build a neck,but I would really like to find a supplier..(Don't get old if you can avoid it) wow7-eyes

Thanks in advance...Great site!!!!

I don't know of anyone who sells pre-fretted fingerboards except Ebay.

What do you want - wood type, scale length, radius?

I could possibly supply you with one. Send me a PM if you're interested & we could work out details.

The OP said "fretted", not just slotted & radiused.
