If it's your first project, don't bother with this. Try to make a good straight fretboard and a good straight fretting job. It's hard enough if it's your first time. I think I know what I talk about, 'cause I'm a self-taught luthier from the time there where no forums about it (seems like dinosaur's area) : I learned with a book and lot and lot of mistakes!

All guitars, acoustic or electric, benefit from a "fallaway" from the 15th fret.

Except for those that don't, for reasons particular to the player.

Correct, I was forgetting about the bluegrass fraternity.
Why do Martin bother putting frets above the neck joint on a D-28 ???
Beats me ...

Sure looks good, doesn't it? Besides, aren't those "spare frets" for when the first position ones wear out?

I got this picture from the web. This looks better than I thought. I like the custom O.T. inlay.

I hear they are also going to produce a George Jones signature model which will have only six frets (with a built in capo behind the third fret )

We've talked about 13th fret guitars before. I think Paul Hostetter is the expert on those. If you're around, Paul, did you have anything to do with this model?
