Chrome / Firefox browsers are highly recommended. Internet Explorer is not recommended!

Enter a scale length between 8" and 40". If you want a fretless board you don't need to make a choice. For radiusing only go directly to #3. For thicknessing only go directly to #7. 

Use the fingerboard calculator in our Help Center to be sure your choices will fit on the board you chose. 

If you choose to have your fingerboard slotted, you must make a selection in the remaining fingerboard customizations as well. If you do not make choices, we will choose the following for you: Slot Depth - .095", Nut Slot Position - Standard Nut Slot Position, Nut Slot Offset - 1/8" behind the nut. 

To convert mm to inches, divide the mm by a factor of 25.4. Ex: 660mm divided by 25.4 equals  25.98" inches. 

Enter the number of fret slots desired. Use the fingerboard calculator to make sure you have chosen a long enough board for the scale and number of frets that you have chosen.

The Standard nut slot moves the kerf back half the width of the slot. Our slots are .024”, so we move it back .012”. This puts the string’s break away point (the edge of the nut) at “true zero”. The Zero Fret option places the nut slot so that it is centered at the zero point of the scale. This works for those who install a zero fret – a fret at the nut position

Richlite fingerboard 5/16" thick, black, 1st grade, 4 string bass

Richlite® is a versatile composite that was traditionally used as an industrial tooling material. The benefits of using it for fingerboards and bridge blanks are numerous.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before gluing Richlite up, it’s important that you abrade it with 80-100 grit sandpaper for best adhesion.
