Any fretless expert luthiers out there?
I would like to have fret lines added to my board and then have it epoxied. I know Thor has a great reputation but he also has a 2 year waiting list. Is there anyone else recommended? I'm in Nova Scotia Canada. Closer the better, but quality of work is more important to me than shipping cost.
Thanks
Thanks
I love my G&L's

do not do this. I know thor's work is great. jaco did his but there are draw backs to epoxy. I did one myself.troymc18 wrote:I would like to have fret lines added to my board and then have it epoxied. I know Thor has a great reputation but he also has a 2 year waiting list.

a clanky noise for one can take away from you having a neck you really want. Tony Franklin warned me about this and he was right. I'm glad I did it on a bass I really didn't care about before investing in a real peice.
Get a neck if you're not happy with it. Musikraft or Warmoth are real good.
fretlines? that's a preference thing. I have basses w/both. I enjoy them both but the one without is my main fretless. fly blind. it's liberating...

the epoxy coated board can give you a slappy sound.redbeardred wrote:the possible clank noise, is that from having epoxy filled frets or just an an epoxy coated board. can you go into that a little more please.
also, i've been told you can get white fretlines by adding a little primer to the epoxy but i haven't tried it myself.
If you're going to fill fret lines then a two part works fine. I've done this myself.
