Hi Russ,
Looks pretty good! I too like the fret boards; did you make them yourself? if so HOW?

Fret boards were made from posterboard , they have that splash colors on them I laid them out to a 24 inch scale cost about a dollar for the poster board and a wide magic marker total cost maybe ???? too low to figure lol I glued them on with some elmers spray adhesive , works good . I got tired of looking at the same ole black or white fretboard so I did these . Russ
