I'm working on my first ever instrument build, an F5. The neck is attached, and I just glued the back on. For some reason I thought to double-check the width of the neck at the nut location. It measured 1 1/16". Is this too narrow??
I ordered my fretboard from LMI, since I doubted my own skills at the precision required to cut the fret slots. I cut out the fretboard according to the template in the Siminoff plans. But when I add the binding, it will definitely be wider than the neck. So I'm going to need to narrow the fretboard before binding, I guess?
But will a neck 1 1/16" wide and the resulting narrower fretboard be too little space to properly fit the strings??
Thanks for your help.
