you may already know about this guy, but if not do yourself a big favour and check him out...A stunning guitar player and really gets the best out of his Astrand guitar...his album 'Chapters' is fantastic and one you will listen to over and over again
I have an Astrand, sadly not the talent

Hey everyone...a few more images from Ted...this time recording the time and stages involved in finishing the fretboard...a labour of love if ever there was one. Ted uses a bolt on neck/fretboard construction.He mentions that in his opinion There is allot of pro's using this technique,one of them being that he can take the neck on and off throughout the whole build depending on what area off the guitar he is working on. Ted levels all of his frets when the neck is attached to the body to make sure they are being leveled when the neck is in it's correct position. He then removes the neck to be able to work on the frets whilst not attached to the body which makes the whole process allot easier and cleaner. The frets levelled To avoid sharp fret ends Ted rounds off all of the edges on the frets. Each fret is then individually sanded with 320, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 3000 and 6000 grit sandpaper. They are then machine buffed to a high gloss To get that extra spark I then individually polish each fret by hand with a soft cloth and fine metal polish. Finally the fretboard gets it's first layer of oil. Apologies this photo should have been second in the sequence...When the frets are leveled they get a little flat spot on top, here Ted is reshaping and rounding the top of the frets.

Ted firing me pics left right and centre, so here are some shots of how Ted prepares his bridges Tapering the string holes to match the taper of the bridge pins Chamfering the string holes to make the bridge pins fit perfectly and get a cleaner look Sawing string slots so the strings sit correctly under the bridge pins Ted make angled string slots so the strings meet the saddle at a correct angle and also so the strings don't touch any sharp corners which will prevent the strings from breaking at the saddle. Conditioning and oiling the bridge The finished results

A few more photos from ted...The bridge placement has been measured and the outlines taped and Ted is carefully removing the lacquer with a chisel to make sure the bridge gets glued wood to wood. Lacquer removed and it's ready for gluing time! Instead of using traditional clamps which can be a hassle to fit through the soundhole and clamp to the bridge Ted uses this little clamping jig, according to Ted it just makes life a little easier. It's got 2 threaded bolts going through the 2 outside string holes through the bridge and its tightened from the inside.
