I recently bought two Ebony fingerboards from LMI but in the excitement of placing the order I forgot to order the slotting service. So I have two beautiful blanks. :-(

I will probably use one on a fretless I'm going to build but the other will require slotting...

Does anyone know where I can get this done? I need someone who is very accurate in doing this for a 24" scale.

	Lyndon Smith says: 1/20/2014 11:10:16 AM So far, I have NOT found anyone that can slot a fretboard using a machine (for accuracy) in the UK. Surely, someone must be able to do it...
	flatfootjohnny says: 2/3/2014 1:06:12 AM I do mine by hand. Have a word with Phil Davidson of Davidsons instrments. davidsoninstruments.com/
	Lyndon Smith says: 2/3/2014 1:47:44 AM Thanks, Johnny but I have a machine being built that will do any scale, so I'm well sorted...
