Hey All,
I was just thinking about having one of my Les Paul's refretted. It occurred to me that I would love to have a slightly bigger neck on this guitar, and also a Brazilian board. If there was ever a time to replace a fingerboard, it's when you need a complete refret.
Question is, would it be possible to replace an existing fingerboard with one that was much thicker? Maybe even have the fingerboard tapered to gain specific thickness along the entire neck. You could even reduce perceived neck angle by this tapering.
I know most would say, sell the guitar and buy one with the size neck you want. problem is I love this guitar in every other way.
Any thoughts?
