Unlined with the dots on the side at correct place (where the note would be).

[Kiwi]

Yes, it's possible.  I'm going to make fretless and 22 fret fingerboards a no-charge option for this batch just to say thanks for your support and trust.

[Phaedrus01]

PM Sent, as someone who has 3 graphite necks and didn't think it was realistic to get any more with how rare they are now, this is brilliant!

Stick me down for a Jazz, I’m wondering if the extra fret would be on a fingerboard extension? If so, count me in for a 21 fret if possible. (If not 20’s ok) Please let me know where to send the deposit. I have a Status MM neck on a sterling body (poor man’s Cutlass) and it’s a great instrument.

That’s a great question actually! Are the 21/22 fret fretboards using an extension, thus they will bit a standard 20 fret design body rout?

 

Also, do we have any indications of the exact headstock shape @Kiwi? 
 

And yes, I’d love one but I’ve 30 years of debt that says it ain’t gonna happen any time soon. Wanna buy a 7 string?

Yes they wil use an extension so that the heel will fit a stanrdard neck pocket for a 21 fret neck.  The PEEK fingerboard is harder than wood.

It'll be Fender shaped.

Your six is pretty sweet.  It gave me buyers remorse at one point.

Thank you so much. That’s all pretty perfect actually. My 6er gets to stay, it is an extraordinary instrument that’s for sure, but some things have to give and I’ve already spoken to Jon S about my 7. Maybe one day I’ll be able to commission a new “doodle”.
