We will continue our mini series how to make a good guitar neck. At Furch Guitars we pay great attention to our fingerboards as they have a major influence on the tone and expression of our instruments. After a minimum of 3 months soft-drying and a further shock-drying period the material has reached sufficient stability and a radius of 400mm is applied to the fingerboard. Each fret slot is cut to a 0.02mm tolerance by CNC technology, and the frets are pressed in with a calibrated press allowing for precise pressure control. Following these important steps we are able to achieve perfect geometry for each string as well as long term stability of the neck. This all contributes to the excellent playability of our instruments.
