They're ugly as hell, but some praise them...other folks are building guitars with "fanned" frets, others with "staggered" frets...it's insane. I simply refuse to get all anal with having (the unattainable) perfect intonation for every single note along the fretboard. Besides, I doubt even Mozart himself would be able to tell the difference. 😆

yea, i saw that site, just assumed that micro frets would be like a computer generated fretting process or something...

They are great guitars and I'm very glad i've got mine (the orange one) 😁

Aug - I might be interested in getting a new neck off you if you are open to the idea (with zero fret, small headstock and binding).

I'd be ok with that... after all, your neck was one of the very first I ever built and I've learned TONS since then. At this point, I'm 99% caught up with everything and dddave is coming over today so we can design the next guitar. I'm thinking the Merc neck will migrate to the next guitar. I still want to trim down the headstock and am itching to do some more binding as well...

Sounds good Aug 😁

AUG, I just want to congratulate you on these guitars, they are gorgeous...and as such I hope you don't take TOO much notice of everyones suggestions on here! (sorry guys! ha)

Aesthetically they are stunning, with classic yet individual lines all over them...you should give Albert Lee a shout, I bet he'd love the style!

How much would it cost to get one made?

Paul
