Removing frets from an ebony fingerboard

[ozziebluesman]

Ok the fret source and type has been sorted.

Dunlop 6220s will do the job. Thanks Jeff for the chart link.

I am sorry I got the decimal point in the wrong spot and confused the shit out of myself and everyone else!

To be continued....

Cheers and talks all for you help

Shhhhh... I'm shocked. I hope the extraterrestrials don't read your last post and the quote above!
Sorry for hijacking your thread Alan.

No worries Markus!

Nothing wrong with taking the piss out your mates! We do that all the time here but if you give it out be prepared to get it back usually at the most inopportune time

Cheers

Geez, if some extraterrestrial read up on this thread they certainly will not attack planet earth, because they will know that they would have no chance to win against its inhabitants which are playing really huge guitars (size calculated on the basis of commonly used fret tang width ).

This is Australia Markus, were we 'DO' play really huge guitars

I'm sorry Kim. I did not know that this is only the toy guitar, downsized model:



...of the real Australian guitar! (show off some pictures of the real thing please! )

The guitars Kim was referring to (Gigantokitharus australensis) disappeared shortly after the Chicxulub impact event. Fossilized remains, like those in Jim's post, are often exhibited. Ironically, the only living descendent is native to Portugal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m842Ssr1MuY
