Well this is even cooler! I got a call from the local CNC company I teamed up with to develop methods for inlaying, radiusing and cutting of precise fret slots.

Our tests have gone very well. We are now able to cut a fretboard in an exact radius, cut the fret slots over the entire scale length with a precision of thousands of an inch. Another cool thing is that we can cut the fret slots in the same radius as the fretboard so there is no useless gap underneath the fret, like would normally happen when cutting with a fret slotting saw. Which means a much stiffer fretboard!




We are also able to cut shell. Encased in specially cut brass for a nice gold colored trim! The final design will be even more intricate!
