HARDWOOD FRETBAORD
Currently, we are using maple and walnut wood for our hardwood fretboards. We occasionally have stock of unusual or exotic woods for special requests. The wire frets on the hardwood fretboard are slightly higher and more visible than those on the standard polycarbonate fretboards. Both versions have zero frets and should have the same intonation.
PEGHED TUNERS
The advantage of using Peghed tuners is that the tuning is more accurate. Pegheds are precision crafted in the USA with a 4:1 planetary gear reduction built in, thus making the tuning much easier. They are lighter in weight; very sleek looking in all black and complement the instrument.
SIDE FRET MARKERS
These are hand inlaid fret markers located on the side of the fretboard facing the player for easy fret location.
FRAILING SCOOP
The frailing scoop is a curvy cutaway of the fingerboard that provides clearance for your fingers and thumb when playing clawhammer style. Our scoop typically begins below the 16th fret, exposing the neck surface beneath the fingerboard. It also just looks cool.
WALNUT TRIM
A cosmetic upgrade package including a dark walnut veneer on the face of the drum frame, and a walnut hardwood fingerboard.
