This guitar started life 25 years ago with a one-piece maple neck and after several refrets the fretboard was downright ugly and almost unplayable. The owner wanted to save the neck because the airbrushing on the tuning head matched the guitar body.

So, the original fretboard was machined off, and a new Pau Fero fretboard was installed with a layer of carbon fiber sandwiched between the new fretboard and the neck. Mother of Pearl dots were inlayed, and the new fretboard was given a 12 inch radius then fretted with jumbo frets. A new Tusq nut was installed, then the guitar was reassembled and the action and intonation was set.

The owner, recording artist Billy Cole Reed, says it plays great!
